"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

The single is beautiful.
I could only pick on the need for a less fussy front disc design and front number plate.
Still..., just beautiful.
They've worked the motor, twin plug heads.
What model and capacity?

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

My pleasure.  I would love one too, I've been eyeing a Bronco 125 on craigslist for a week or so, not a very desirable vintage duc but it could be a great little bike.

Just checked and it's gone, it was an undetermined year Bronco 125 missing the headlight, front fender and exhaust, owner claimed the motor was free but not running.  He was asking $700 and I offered $400 which he didn't take too kindly to, I'm not going to overpay simply because it's a Ducati.

Id have to see it.. any of the old springheads that are in good shape are going to sell eventually.  It is probably worth twice that if it's parted.  The only people that have them are collectors and weirdos nowadays.

You wouldn't be paying 700 because it's a Ducati, it's because it's 50 years old and rare as hell.

All of the "named" models are worth more in my book.. i.e. the Bronco, Diana, Marianna... etc
