Motorcycle as Art

If I was a single man, I'd put this in my living room (with a drip tray) during the week and roll it out at dawn every summer Sunday in search of twisties

My good friend has the same bike. It's has a sound to it like no other.

 

Problem for me is I am way to big to fit on it. Yes I have tryed it !!!!!!!

In the 60s I worked at a very hip shop that sold Ducatis (and Norton, Guzzi, Triumph, and BMW). I hung with a guy who was very into Ducatis and had one of my own - a Diana Mk III (5-speed, Red cam) which I tricked out a lot. Friend pursued his passion and, in '71, rode the very first 750 Ducati twin (direct ancestor of the above) in the US from Cincy to Richmond KY, where I was going to grad school. I got to take it out some 20 or so miles from Richmond to Paint Lick and back. Can you say "Country road twisties?"

After years on a very quick and super agile single it was a revelation. I think when I die that experience will be fresh in my mind.
