Livingroom Find Single ...

Well, it would be a garage find, but the old guy kept it in his living room for 30 years ... and his livingroom REALLY was more of a garage. This was a guy who lived alone (well, with one big dog), had no water, no gas, no electric, and right in the middle of the city. He was a really thoughtful interesting guy though and this bike was a source of pride. It was his "art project" from school in 1970, to make it as minimal and as blacked out as possible I think (the stuff hanging off the bottom end is some sort of rubber undercoating paint - will come right off. I have had it for years and have not yet gotten into it at all. But I think this is it, this winter. So here are a couple pics of this interesting single (haven't even researched the frame/engine numbers yet) A mix of Ducati and Bates parts, scrambler frame i do believe. If you notice anything from the images, I would appreciate if you let me know. I am a ducati neophyte at this point. -Tom
