Title: NCR's history Post by: Travman on December 16, 2009, 04:31:38 PM Notice the logo on the clutch side engine cover. I had no idea NCR had been around since 1967 until I saw the picture below and then checked out their website for their history.
http://www.ncrfactory.com/eng/html/01.00.shtml (http://www.ncrfactory.com/eng/html/01.00.shtml) You have to respect a company with a long history of making parts and racing Ducatis.

but day-um is that sweet! Cable-operated dry-clutched Pantah motor in full-race-trim... Yummy!

The fact that they make such awesome titanium parts is enough for me to respect them... now, the hard part is me being able to AFFORD them... :-\

It turned out that this young chap was Michele Poggipolini and he showed me round new blue plus the rest of the NCR products and after a chat,a drink and an ice cream sunday he introduced me to an american gentleman by the name of Cooke Neilson,whom I talked to for quite a time (what a guy). WDW2007 was a fantastic holiday for me personally but that meeting with the NCR team was the icing on the cake and if your thinking of attending next years event just do it you won't regret the long haul [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
