"Dayrell" That photo from the Isle of Man just stopped me dead in my tracks, those are the
motorcycles I grew up with,the Atlas and what looks like a BSA Spitfire in the background and of course the numerous Triumphs. Thanks for the blast from the past!! Peter
 
Efra 1: That's a beautiful motorcycle, especially with the small tank and the all-black finish. However, I recommend losing the ape-hangers. They can seriously compromise handling, aside from being uncomfortable after a short time. I hope you will take my suggestion with the good will that it was intended.

Thanks for your suggestion, I did not use this bike for long time rides, I try a Dragbar and a normal handlebar but this apps is only 12" not too much , but it is try, the handling is more difficult especially in mountains roads.

I use more my Road King for long ride, is more confortable ;)

Good looking Nightster.

Hey, how do you like that seat? Is it the one made by Mustang? Was thinking of putting one of those on my Sporty.

Best,

The seat in the Road King is the Mustang, originally did not come whit the spings, only two rubber, but the springs are more confortable.

The Nightster mount the Solo Spring Saddle-54072-10.
VERY confortable too.

The finish is great.

Best Regards
 
I'd moved to Southern California in March 1979 to attend school at UC Riverside. Never liked the place. My friends in New York had shipped my old Ducati 750GT out to me. Once school let out, I gathered up everything I owned, shipped what I couldn't carry to a safe haven, and jumped on the old Duc never to return to Riverside to live..


Ektachrome 64 Slide captured with
Olympus E-M1 + ZD 35mm Macro + Nikon ES-1 Slide Holder​

This is a photo of the Ducati and my traveling companion, Gerard the Giraffe, east of Barstow, stopped by the side of I-15 heading to Zion National Park, due south of Death Valley.

I didn't notice that I'd assembled the front fender backwards until I changed tires in New York several weeks later...

FYI: I don't remember what camera I was using on the trip. The ZD Macro + Nikon ES-1 slide stage with the E-M1 makes an 11Mpixel image of the 35mm slide.

Thanks for looking! Comments always appreciated.
