No, not the usual mass produced Ducati but one mans labour of love...







Based on an ordinary CB500F engine it wouldn't fool an expert, but that was never the idea. Just a tribute to the greatest. No make that GREATEST.







Best of all, I get to ride it soon. Not quite sure how as it's not street legal (No shit! Sherlock) and my competition licence expired so long ago that it's written in Latin, but ride it I will. It's been a very long time since the prospect of riding any motorcycle got my pulse racing like this one has! Cool.

Cheers, for now.

An excellent tribute to "Mike The Bike." I saw him race many times - what a guy, what a rider.

Mike and John Surtees were two of my early heros, at least John is still with us.
