Racing Ducati Pantah--art

[Chipchap]

I have just been sent an image of my old race Pantah. I sold it some months ago and the new owner has just finished restoring it. He took it to a Classic Show in Paris a week or so ago and returned with some silverware.

I have no method of hosting this image, so if one of you kind people sends me an email address I will forward the image and we can all share

I am presuming it is a 600 Pantah?

That went a lot better than the earlier 500.

It was a 500cc to get homologated as 1978 for Forgotten Era as they had the strictest compliance rules. The spec when I parted with it was:

Yup really nice bike.

The new owner had a mould made I believe, after being bum raped on buying the one that is now fitted. It had a later MHR900 one on it when I sold it.


email me and I will give you his details

Very nice bike but need to be careful not to 'pinch' oneself in the gap between seat & tank.
