[ST] Patti's Duc

["Mike Young" <myoung@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

1st: Patti ROCKS!
2nd: Patti's Duc is one of those "barn finds" everyone dreams about, and
some of us would gladly offer miscellaneous parts of out anatomy to come
across. 
3rd: We need to deluge Patti with "Ducati motorcycles MUST BE RIDDEN!"
e-mails. (maybe after a few months when she's getting close to finishing
the cosmetic work.)

Patti,
Please ride it. You are completely correct in your view of the old Duc
as art, but it is only complete while it is in motion. Your description
of the bike so far leads me to believe that it was parked in reasonable
condition. Give it a once over mechanically, see what it would take to
get it running.  Please.

Mike 
'06 Trumpet Sprint ST

Well above average. But it's not a very high bar.

I'm posting pictures and blogging every step of the way.
(I have to-- I work for a blogging company. :-)

One thing to know: I don't know jack about bike restoration.
My approach is just to fumble my way through and figure it 
out as I go.
