Shot is from the top of Angeles Crest (Inspiration Point is about 7800' overlooking Baden-Powell and Baldy, just 7 miles up from Wrightwood) and then back....stopped for a couple pics at the top.

Still have to add the small tricolore tail-side decals, bar end mirrors that I've had waiting for it, and we have a couple fiddly bits to do, but it's looking awesome and running perfectly.

You still gave your staff the afternoon off though, right?

Looks sweet (not just the ride, but the ride too).

Re: Restoration is done: 1993 888SPO
Oh, that is SWEET!!! I love the look of that era Ducati. Mine looks a bit similar ('95 SS SP), but there the similarities end. What exhaust is on it? Still available? I have Arrow slipons on mine, carbon fiber. I'm thinking I should get them repacked. I keep hearing stories about the heat burning through them, and it seems like exhausts are nearly impossible to get for these bikes now.

I'll be it rides really nice!!

Edit: never mind, I see they're Ferracci pipes.

So it's not an historically accurate restoration, then?


Kidding, Todd. Thanks for keeping that beauty on the road.

Hehehe....certainly I expect the bike to be fussier than my 929 or VFR were...but then again, this is the bike about which I keep having those "inappropriate" dreams...it calls my name in the middle of the night....

HondaGalToo...the 94-97 900SS-SP is one of my other favorite Ducs beside my '92 Superlight...my riding buddy here in town has a '97 SP...awesome bike...
