Good luck on your planned purchase Staton - Side note is that I purchased a 1964 Ducati Bronco 125 when I was 14 (Arizona had a motorcycle license for 14 yr old) & enjoyed the bike very much for duration of high school. Once again, best wishes on your endeavor. You should enjoy it.

We are. 😊 I hope the visit goes well tomorrow and I can bring it home. I’ll keep you updated! Good luck to you as well with the Cucciolo. That should be cool as all get out when you are done.

I thought we were already best friends, but am so glad we are now. If it helps you make this unwise purchase, I still have not gotten off my ass and started my Cucciolo, after my first failed attempt some few years ago. Damn thing was fully restored, and just needs someone who has a clue about what they are doing to get it running. Maybe next week. Good luck.

Jack, Sounds like a very cool high school ride! I'm jealous. all I had in high school was an old Batavus moped. I'll send an update this evening after I find out whether or not I'll be able to get the bike.

Side note - there's been literally 2 times in my life I've actually gone to check out a bike I really wanted to buy and passed on it. One was a ZX6E that was horribly misrepresented, had no title and a hacked wiring harness. The other was a YZ125 that after the pics were taken, clearly had been ridden and crashed hard quite a few times. I was still in, but the dude wouldn't budge on the advertised price even given the obvious difference in condition. Looking forward to hearing of your success! Pags >

Yup, good luck Staton.NDC, but Italian.  I had a seller pass on ME! He thought I was a tire-kicker (which I do often feign) and he unapologetically didn't feel that I was worthy of his tired old Moto Guzzi rat bike.  Wouldn't sell it.  I left his house to find the slave seal on my ST2 had chosen that moment to release every drop of fluid on the road, 2 hours from home - another story.I inquired a month later and it was still around so he changed his tune (my persistence?) and sold it to me.  I turned that 1975 Guzzi 850T into a beautiful cafe racer over the following 8-9 months. Still have it (and yes, there is more time and $ in it than it is worth now.....). But that's ok. -------- Original message --------From: Tony Pags <ajpags@gmail.com> Date: 5/12/20 12:29 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Ducati Owners Group <ducati@list.ducati.net> Subject: Re: [Ducati] 1962 Ducati Bronco Side note - there's been literally 2 times in my life I've actually gone tocheck out a bike I really wanted to buy and passed on it.One was a ZX6E that was horribly misrepresented, had no title and a hackedwiring harness.  The other was a YZ125 that after the pics were taken,clearly had been ridden and crashed hard quite a few times.  I was stillin, but the dude wouldn't budge on the advertised price even given theobvious difference in condition.Looking forward to hearing of your success!Pags>To get the links and updates on all today's Ducati news:http://www.ductalk.com/andhttps://www.facebook.com/ducnet_____________________Ducati mailing listDucati@list.ducati.nethttp://list.ducati.net/mailman/listinfo/ducati_list.ducati.netMailto: sftompkins@gmail.com
