Fell in love with Ducati's white-frame SupeSport back in 1991. 17 years later my dream SS came calling...

 A '92 white-frame beauty which had just received a frame-up restoration. Monoposto tail from a '98 SS/FE & fresh paint adorn an enthusiastic 944cc engine. Sil Motor Spaghetti headers along with 41mm Flat Slides do wonders for breathing, while enhanced brakes, re-valved/sprung forks & Ohlins out back let her handle like she's should.
Finally, goodies from Yoyodyne,Woodcraft, STM, BMP & Dyna Coil were added to help make her "mine."

As do the clear-coated signatures from Cook Neilson, Paul Smart and our own
Vicki Smith on the tail. Paul & Cook even spent a few hours carving California corners aboard my little SS while I followed in their wake. Cook musta spent half the day on the thing... proclaiming it was more fun than my friend's 1098R (on the road). Not like I'm gonna argue. :-)

Sadly, the the bike & I took a spill last year. Besides body damage, my "unscheduled dismount" didn't help the engine, as a con rod flying into the bottom end shortly thereafter. But she'll be back in the garage soon enough. In the mean time I enjoy the hell out of her presence in my living room. Can't find a chair? Sit anywhere...

Beautiful '92, Gabriel! Hope she's alive & kicking again soon. I still have the '91 model I bought new and am as infatuated as I was on day one.

Cheers,
Arch
