to see the bikes progress.
I got my Ducati from a friend who breaks them and it has only done 22 miles
from new ('98 R), this is because the previous owner crashed it on his the
way home from the shop (woman pulled in front of him). So now I have it
and this web site will show the rebuilding of it until it's ready to ride.
Time to get the flexible friend out!!
