Title: New guy Post by: Truckedup on November 28, 2016, 04:37:43 AM I'm from western NY state and recently bought a 1996 900M. I've been riding for 45 years, the last Ducati I owned was a 74 750 in the 1980's. I have several land speed racing vintage Triumphs built in my hillbilly shop, one that holds a national speed record..

Title: Re: New guy Post by: Truckedup on November 28, 2016, 12:01:52 PM Welcome, especially to a fellow racer. [thumbsup] You run on the Salt? Photos please ... That's a long way for us Easterners, We run at the one and a half mile at Loring Maine and at the one mile in Ohio but the track just closed. This is us at Maine just before setting the record at 128.2 mph....I'm the bike builder, standing, giving the stink eye to the competition...

The twin engined job reminds me of how beautiful the pre unit motors were. |
