but having seen this one today,
I just had to make a post of it, why? because it is soooooo nice!
it started life as a 1978 900 cc touring Ducati Darmah, as it was wheeled into the workshop it left a trail of oil like the Torrey Canyon, but that did not deter the crew at Rome’s Emporio Elaborazioni Meccaniche,
the classic
2 valve L-Twin Desmo engine was soon quickly up on the bench,
sharing a great deal in common with the 900SS, the engine would be the first part of the bike that would be rebuilt to be better than new,
with
the help of a set of stunning machined triple clamps a set of Ceriani front
forks have been adapted to fit, at the rear new Wilburs progressive rate coil
over shocks provide a radical improvement over stock without taking away at all
from the classic look,
used by many a racer of old the Fontana four leading shoe front setup is simply beautiful, and a set this good is worth a small fortune,
for hand controls its more exotics parts are again from yesteryear with Menani race bars
attached to the forks and equipped with a Tommaselli throttle,
what a beauty, would I like one? absolutely! I just have to figure out how to get Diana on the seat! you can follow the crew on their Facebook page, photography by Fabrizio Porrozzi & Vd Photo.
