[Ducati] 1978 GTS 900

[DAVID evans]

Nice,I had a new one in 78,bought from Geoff Daryns in Sandwich in Kent.Paid £1299 for it so if you take into account yours is old i,ll give you the 78 price for it,no,I will.Joking aside what a pleasant bike it was in it,s day and dont forget 60 to 90 it would do a Z1 and smoke most things thru the twisties,It was still a Duke in geometry remember.I bought the tank and seat of Hailwoods isle of man practice bike from Steve Wynne and fitted it to my GTS and my friend Tom Tucker bought the race bikes tank and seat along with a set of hailwood lookwell leathers and we had hailwood replicas well before the factory thought of them.Istill have some pics but mainly to remind me of Tom who sadly didnt get round one of the corners in life.I lent me Tank and seat to Zed Zawada of Bike magazine fame and when I requested it back he had forgot what he had done with it!!!explains why he,s a millionare now.Toms munched in the crash and any remains ended up in Dave Railtons in Chadwell
 heath.Anyway,lovely bike and the new GT should have been called the GTS.All the best DK.
