[Ducati] crash

[phil hitchcock]

BOB
it is my classic race bike that i run in the pre 63
class in australia. started off as an 11HP 250 monza &
ended up a 38hp 350.the engine was due for a rebuild
after i came 6th in the state titles a month ago but
to many customers restos to do. i figured it would do
another meeting but the crank died & seized just as i
went down to 2nd for turn 2 at eastern creek & i was
just to slow on the clutch.last time a bike seized
under me was around 1990/same year as last track crash
at amaroo park which is long since gone.
bike is an easy fix & as it just slid on its side
after flicking me over the top @ around 100kph.fairing
screen + repair,new end for brake pedal & some bits
for twin sided front brake lever. as i said luckily it
was not flat out in top just under 200 through turn 1.

frame etc will need to be jigged but a quick check
with a laser makes it seem ok. dirt down the carb but
engine is coming apart anyway for a rebuild so no
worries - next  meeting will be the classic
international @ phillip island end of january.
 SPAIN - hope the kid from down under does it again -
special colour scheme for the weekend to celebrate
ducati cleaning up in MOTO GP looks different.

Holy cow Phil, looks more like you are waving to the
crowd.  Don't mean
 to
ignorant here, but what model bike were you formerly
on and will get
 the
re-build?  Looks like an oder bike ie a bevel?  Bob
