| Post subject: | parts info |
As a follow up to my restoration project I thought I'd relay my parts acquisition experience thus far. To date I've purchased parts from Ducati dealers in Seattle, Denver, Birmingham, and Australia. The first to come through as promised was Gowanloch's in AU. I worked with a gent by the name of Mike and did the entire transaction via the internet. They were fast, very polite, and backed up what they said they'd do. The other dealers promised parts then called me back AFTER the transaction to let me know the parts are on back order. |

I heard the bike run for the first time! The salvaged tank I got from Scotland arrived last week with all the internals intact and in good working order. All we had to do was hook it up, pour in some gas, and hit the starter. Well, almost. The injectors were clogged from years of storage so they were soaked overnight then connected but not installed. A few hits on the starter switch were all that was needed to clean 'em out. After that the bike started right up and settled into a smooth idle. I'm thinking (more like HOPING) that this bike will be a low hassle ride I can enjoy as I restore her to her original state. The original tank's being cleaned and sealed but I don't have a firm delivery date for it. If everything goes well I should have my first ride on her by the end of the month. [/img] |

Yo, Wiggs, No plans to go to vintage days. I just got back from a trip to Wisco on my RT and used up a lot of vacation in the process. I'll spend the summer working bugs (if any) out of the 907 and trying to keep my driver's license. Oh, did I mention that I recieved a performance award last Saturday from the CO state patrol? 
The 907 ain't gonna help matters much unless I learn to exercise constraint!
