Beautiful Ducati GT750 Bevel Drive Restoration!


Desmodog sends in some great info and links to his 750 GT restoration. Great thread on ADV Rider about the build HERE

I bought this bike from a friend before I knew much of anything about bevel Ducatis. I then spent a little over three years rebuilding it and learning a lot about older Ducatis. It still isn’t “done”, and likely never will be. I think there will always be something else to do on this one!

After:


Before:

Modern Ducati Scrambler.


This one’s been “making the rounds”.   I’m not sure about that front tire but it’s a heck of a nice build.  The seat/tail light is very clever and it even has some actual padding!

 

 

 

1973 Ducati GT750


Saw it for sale HERE. Not cheap and no I don’t know the bike or the owner.  I often wonder if they knew at the time what classic and beautiful motorcycles they were designing and building.

UPDATE: I’m guessing it’s a British bike badged as an Indian?


I know there was a Royal Enfield Indian but I can’t find one that looks like this exactly. Can any of the experts clue me in on this?

It’s an Indian ARROW. Cool bike!

A rather rare 1968 Beta 125 Premier wiht almost no miles!


From “Bigtruck” Johnson who is looking for more info on the bike.

Hi, I am looking to get any information I can about my 1968 Beta Premier. It’s a tasty old original with just 10 miles on it! I seen Ted Guthie’s stunning restoration and he mentioned a couple friends each having one. If someone can somehow forward my email to him, maybe he’ll get back to me so I pick his brain. Thanks, Steve

“Rain Delay” Ughh…


It was nice riding in this morning but this is North Florida and that’s never a lasting promise. This was my view at 5 O’clock today for the ride home. Needless to say I was late.

The latest from Murph…


Steve, 

 
Love the Stan Keyes Norton, nice tank.

 I was at a Classic Motorcycle Race in Mill in the Netherlands last weekend and got a whole bunch of great pictures for an upcoming article in the next few weeks, but I thought you might like a few of the shots first. 
 
Regards from Holland,
 

Murph.
