1969 Ducati 350 Desmo

[crm250]

I inherited this from my dad after he died a couple of days before xmas 09.

first pic show my expression which sums it up after helping him unload it from his car in 02. i am clearly thinking "what a shed" he is thinking "i can see how this is going to turn out" and he was right.
the results are below.
Original tyres, hand pump, CEV electrics and its never to this date been run since its completion in 06.
He asked me to keep it at mine (i had a couple of bikes at theirs) while they moved house, and the plan was to bring it back in spring 2010 and we could get it running and time it up - that never happened so its been in my ownership ever since.
He also just managed to finish a 58 175 and a 200 elite just before he died to the same standard. We gave one each to his brothers, they then sold them to barry jones from classic ducati for his collection.
