Today, Sept 20, is Fabio Taglioni's birthday. Dr. T as he is know is responsible for much of the development of Desmo engined Ducatis and he designed quite a few Ducati motorcycles. Those engines with rubber cam belts owe their design to Taglioni's Pantah engines from the late 70s.
Happy Birthday Dr. T
