Hi Guys,
My Name is Paul and I ( after a 12 year kid hiatus) am back on a bike! and now I have three.
I have a Ducati Paso 750 1987 model with Ohlins rear shock and reconditioned Marzocchi M1R front end
The thing with this bike, is that it has had a 2001 750 monster motor shoehorned into it.....bliss as it has Mikuni's and they make the bike run sweetly
I got it with 2 new tryes and a recent new battery so it should be reliable for a while......... Only drawback is that the Monster motor only puts out 62HP in stock form, bit down on the Original Paso motor at 72! sigh.......I guess it makes up for reliability and that I cannot go too fast and kill myself....lolAlso have a Cagiva Alazzurra 650 which I bought off a mate who raced it, I am currently getting it back to original condition with all original body work Air intake and silencers, once complete and rideable I intend to ride it and get the feel of it before stripping it down again and racing it myself.
Also am restoring a 1982 Suzuki RM125 which is coming along nicely
Had plenty of bikes in the past,1973 Triumph 750 Bonneville, Ducati GTL500, 750 Sport, Mountaineer, Montessa Cota 247, DKW175, Zundapp 50, and spent 10 years doing up a 1941 741B 500cc Indian, which when finished was a thing of Beauty! had a few Japanese bikes too, but not a big fan.
anyway enough about me, I stumbled across this site whilst on Ducpower.com and have enjoyed reading thru the posts and enjoy tongue in cheek humour
So another Paso to the fold!
Cheers
Paul

. We are a good bunch here , fairly stereotypical of our geographic locations 
, with a wide range of mechanical skills and experience ....... all the way from Guru to penis fingers. I don't think we are a purist bunch in that most of us have made sensible modifications to our Paso's .
