The wall of coolness

[Woodman]

That Ducati is a most worthy recipient of the cool wall. Awesome.
Would go nice in my living room.
Don't those 50cc racers have about 10 gears or something?

Edit: The carb on that is the same as the one on my Benelli. You can get different float bowels so the carb can be side draft of fully down draft or inbetween like that one. Mine is the same angle as the Duc.

OMG ,I'm gonna have to drag it out from under the bench and stare at it again for a few weeks, wondering where to start then put it back under the bench having done nothing Damn you Padmei.

That is nice. I need to find one of those tanks for my Ducati single so I can do something with it.

Duc single...

At the toy run yesterday I was walking with the lil ponies & picking "our favourite bikes' Mine was a oily well ridden purple Benelli cafe. When we got home Mrs Padmei mentioned that she finally saw a bike that she would approve of me buying (the bane of many discussions we have over my potential bike purchases). "It had Benetti or something on the tank" -
"Was it purple"
"Yes!"

Must be fate. I will be expecting someone to ask me this week if I want 'this old bike that's been hanging around here in the garage"
