Ducati Other description

Up for grabs...1972 Ducati 750 GT barn find project bike. 
One of approximately 700 sandcast 750 crankcases made in the early years. This bike retains the unique kick start lever only found on the sandcast examples. Also notable is the UNcracked primary cover that was the Achilles' heel of sandcast crankcase examples. This bike is a time warp example!  Just as developed for the US market by Ducati for Berliner. It even retains the rarely seen foil tag on the head stock. Most early GTs were fitted with Amal 932 Concentric carbs. This one appears to have been fitted from new with DelLorto carburetors as offered on the sport version. The choke cables have obviously been attached for a long time. Face it: Ducati was a small operation and they fitted what was at hand that day. The correct fiberglass tank is fitted as well as the correct seat. The seat is in need of restoration but provides a good pan to use. Correct turn signals are still on there as well as the US market high bars. The side covers are present, and the super-rare "oval" Conti mufflers are in good condition . Early Smith's instruments indicate 26,479 miles. Speedometer even still has reset sticker !  The correct Borrani rims and Inox stainless fenders further contribute to the certificate of "authenticity " of this early Ducati GT "barn find". Engine is presently stuck but "soaking".
This auction offers a rare opportunity to acquire an unmolested Ducati GT. This was the bike that jump started Ducati's presence in the US and on the track.

Wood-Rotax SJ676 Grand Prix

Until yesterday I'd never even heard of this bike let alone seen one. I didn't know anything about it. I still don't, really but I dug up these words on the bike and thought I'd share them.

Ducati Makes Progress as Sepang MotoGP Test Concludes

Thu, 02 Feb 2012

The good news is Ducati managed to trim another second off of Valentino Rossi‘s Day Two test time. The bad news is the Doctor is still over a second behind Casey Stoner. Of course, considering how much faster Stoner has been compared with everyone else at the MotoGP test in Sepang, that’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Zemke and Ducshop Racing Seek Donations to Race AMA Daytona Sportbike

Wed, 13 Jun 2012

Ducshop Racing and Jake Zemke are appealing to the public for donations to fund their AMA Daytona Sportbike Championship effort. Zemke is currently fifth in the championship riding the Ducati 848 EVO, an impressive feat for crew comprised entirely of volunteers. As good a run as Ducshop has been on, the team lacks the funds to complete the rest of the season.
