Italian tiddler up for sale

[Alzero]

Had a 68/69 (Approx Year) Ducati 350 Desmo Scrambler Single for a summer - FAST - Spent most my time with feelers gauges on the valve train.

I was 20 years old at the time. I was 23 when I acquired my 70 Breganzie 750 SF0 when Honda CB750's where all over the place selling for $1100 ;o)

I could pass 3 1100 Kawasaki's within 2 corners on a road course with my SF0 during the 70's.
