[Ducati] Boerni...Italian style?

[HOPPER ELDRIDGE]

Boerne is a neat l'il town but like everything else in west Texas...GROWING! Use to stay at an inn there that was an old "town house" for some rancher. Neat historic palce. 
   
  What Brit bikes do you have? Me..mostly Commandos, Bonnies and TriBSA triples. I do have Ray Pickerrel's Rob North BSA Rocket III  and my Norman White prepped Norton 750 Commando did some good in the early BOTT races in England. Tony Rutter (of Duc fame and the several times Formula II Champion back then) want to race the bike at the IOM in '84 when it was supposed to have a Classic pre-'72 production race. That was cancelled but he was still interested. Oh well...so close yet so far! Depending on the race, we had three exhaust systems, two carb set-ups, two fairings and it had the Norris quick change cam set up with three different cams. Norm and I were doing the mental aspect of an even hotter set up (well Norm was the brains and the majic fingers!) but the oil patch went way south and I came back to a very depressed economy. Again...so close yet so far!
   
  We do need to do some Hill Country riding  Medina-Vanderpool-Leakey-right at Camp Wood-right at the Barksdale? split then follow the river road (at least the olde river crossing is improved now. Used to be slicker than sn*t on a door knob!) up onto the platueau, turn around and repeat!
   Later!  Hopper
