An actual jelly mold tanked Ducati. I was being a bit too generic with my earlier post. See the always excellent Bike Exif for more.

I always thought it was unfortunate that these were relegated to second fiddle status when the 916 came out. What they lacked in HP they made up for in character. I’m with you though Fred, I just don’t have the back for it anymore.
This is my 1995 900SS which I built over the last few years. Now my aging back forces me to sell, see eBay for full description.
Thans for your consideration.

Now THAT”S a save! Hard to believe it’s the same bike. For more shots of the bike in process take a few minutes and check out his gallery pages. There’s a lot of other excellent Ducati shots there as well. Nicely done Craig!

I saw a link to your site on Ductalk which led to some before and after photos of a Ducati single. Here’s my version of a similar bike… it’s a 1966 Ducati 160 Monza Jr that was restyled using older Ducati bodywork.
After spending too many years working on it on and off I finally got it back on the road just in time for the vintage bike festival at Barber Motorsports last year. With about 15 miles on the bike we threw it on the trailer and drove 13 hours to get there. Took it off the trailer and it ran great all weekend.
Well I’m back from a nice but very windy weekend and I owe you folks some pics. The inbox is brimming so lets get to it.
By the way, all the best thoughts to the folks in tornado country for the recent troubles. Crazy stuff for sure.

Hey Steve,
We rode down to the Progressive Motorcycle Show in Charlotte on Saturday and I thought you might like these. They are, of course, a Bonneville Street Tracker, a Norton 961 Cafe Racer, and a Ducati 916, and a 1968 Yamaha DT-1 . The Bonneville has a trick frame and either a new or modified single shock swing arm, but a tiny little oil cooler.
