The recent Monaco 2021 Historics thread prompted me to remember this video about the machine that put Ducati on the map. I think Mr. Stein strikes a fine balance between viewpoints.

I used to be. I raced a 250 Diana and a 350 Sebring for several years. But that was a long time ago.  |

Oh, nice.
What's that machine in your profile picture, if I may ask? It's been scratching at the walls of my mind since I first saw it.

I've got to confess that I've never rode a bike to this day. When I turned 18 I wanted a bike in the worst way, but two of my families friends kids had really bad bike accidents on the street, and I was literally forbidden to own, so I just stuck with my MGBs and eventually raced Enduro karts. But I do enjoy watching GP bike racing on tv.

Does currently owning four mean I'm obsessed?

Does currently owning four mean I'm oppressed? No. It means you're lucky and I'm jealous.  |

The pic in my avatar:
Not my bike but identical to what I had (except mine had a blue fairing).
350cc single cylinder desmo, 11,000 rpm redline.
Those were the days.

arcticwolf : Merci! I don't recall ever seeing a faired version of that machine. Changes its aspect completely. Lovely. 2whl : Would you care to list them, please? I'm deeply curious. @joel_W: I've never ridden one either, other than as terrified self-loading baggage a couple of times. They've interested me since my teenage years, though.
