Racing Ducati Pantah--art
Discussion
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

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:
