Title: Ducati Desert Sleds win Inauguaral Mint 400 Hooligan Class
Post by: paso87 on April 02, 2020, 05:06:28 PM
Hey this is really cool. Three modified Ducati Desert Sleds participated in the Mint 400 desert race in early March and finished 1st and 2nd and it could have been a 1, 2, 3 sweep but for a broken shift lever.

The Desert Sled is named after the large Triumphs, BSAs, and Harley raced in the desert in the early and mid 60s.  Steve McQueen was a desert sled rider on a Triumph before switching to two stroke Husqvarna motorcycles.

By the way Alexander Smith mentioned in the article is the son of off road legend Malcolm Smith

100 MPH on a Desert Sled!!!!!!!!!!
