My Dads business(as disgracefully advertised in my sig

) basically supplies enough parts to make a bike from scratch. He's looking to advertise the business, and what better way to advertise than race?

We're slowly building up a Ducati 450 Desmo, which will be bored to 500cc (original capacity is 436) and I've been offered the chance to race it!

I figured I'd use this thread as an ongoing status of the bike, update it with screenies, and just to generally brag. I also know a lot of you like bikes from the 'old' days (my words, not yours) so it's a win-win situation isn't it?

Lovely bike mate, I have to say I prefer pre- 1980's ish style, my bonnie was 1972 and a pleasure to work on, I wouldn't have a clue these days.

Good luck! let us know how you get on.
 
You'll actually get to race this year, lucky! I did one kart race. Lucky! If that is like the bike your running, that should be fun.
