GSman Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Has anyone managed to get a CoC to register a 70s/80s Ducati? If so any info would be really appreciated.

Bob T Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Now that is what I call a real Ducati! I wanted one years ago but never got around to buying it. SD will be along soon with information to help, he is probably out riding his BMW at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1steveuk Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I can concur, with everything, that SD will be out on his bike, that, that is a proper Duke, and that I wrote to that address and got everything I needed to get my Paso registered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Wiggy Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 That picture brings back a certain happy memory, in the early 70s just after the M42 was opened, a friend of mine had that very same machine, brand new just run in model same colour the single difference he had made was a slight adjustment to the Gearbox sprocket, he had raised the sprocket size by 1 tooth and it certainly made a heck of a difference.I was allowed to try out the change that had been made so, I took the bike down the Stratford road in Shirley, Solihull to where the M42 section had not long been opened, so I joined the 42 in the direction of the A45 Coventry Road and opened her up on a very clear ahead, it actually showed 145mph on the clock but believe this was possibly a little on the dubious side, even so a really fast bike.

steve Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Noooooo, the SS. Wot a fab machine - I lusted after one of these or the MHR when I was a Super dream owner at sweet 17! I ended up with an ice creame van (Suzuki GS1000 S - in blue and white) but still harbourd a dream for one. Last bike was A Harley Davidson Sportster - Im sorry!- at least its a V twin)Steve (who is lusting after an old traily bike or anything really!)

Bob T Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I thought that the Paso was just a red dustbin with an engine inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
