1965 Ducati Scrambler

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Bring it back to life so it can be enjoyed on the road/trails again.

What motivated you to start your project?

Found the motorcycle on a farm, in an abandoned mobile home being used for storage. It had sat there since 1972 and I brought it out into the daylight…along with 6 other Ducatis from 1965/66.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Nothing overly creative or unique…pretty much a stock rebuild

What are you most proud of?

I rebuilt the motor and it fired right up on the very first kick…an amazing feeling!

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

They love the classic look of a simple and beautiful Italian machine from the 60’s era.
