-That's it...Nothing more to add... Just found it interesting...I always thought Ducati was the only ever engine manufaturer to use a desmo valve train... Title: Re: Theory and History of the Ducati Desmodromic Engine - Part 1 Post by: Juan on June 05, 2008, 07:29:21 AM He...! Nice find thanks..!

And yes I am that old. I was working in a Ducati shop for Syd Tunstall in St. Petersburg FL. If anyone here has heard of him.
