I plan on it. Have a couple of projects to finish up first. Mainly the garage to do this work in. I got the Ducati from the mother of a 19 year old boy that had it and died suddenly from health issues. I want to restore it and pay homage to him somehow.Sell all that BMW and Harley stuff and get the baby duc back on the road!
I had the exact same thought.Being drivers of small Fiats on this forum it's interesting how many of you ride Harleys, Indians and other big bikes.
Very cool collection of odd-ball vintage bikes. Right up my alley. When I was a young teenager I really wanted a Hodaka Super Rat, which was still in current production back then.Hodakas. Two Road Toads, a Combat Wombat, a Super Combat, an Ace 100, and a ton of parts.
You have to be a Moto Guzzi person. They are a different type.Oddly enough, very true. In fact, until recently they were still not worth much as a classic. Now they are taking off in value.
Just before I got it (I was a single well paid federal employee), I seriously considered getting a Moto Guzzi Lemans but knew I could never commute to work on a bike with low clip-on bars. They were both about the same price, $4K.

I put over 12k miles on it early on. I would go ride an hour to meet up with friends and go on a group ride for a couple hours then ride an hour home. I became a parent 8 years ago and it’s frowned upon in North America to take a baby on a 2 wheeled vehicle, so I have not ridden it much.
I wrote for Scooter World Magazine as the road test contributor for a few years and co-authored The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Motor Scooters.
I also was given the 2002 Royal Enfield Bullet with sidecar that my parents (both motorcyclists since before I was born) bought to ride with their St. Bernard. I need to get it running again: I think I’ll have some riding buddies when I do.
