Hello from Bothell WA - 66 Ducati 250 Scrambler

[ErikMVM]

Howdy gang, my names Erik, live in Bothell WA, which is basically at the north tip of Seattle for that don't know the area.

I've got a small side-gig doing repairs and restoration/mods mostly on vintage Hondas. My next door neighbor picked up a 1966 Ducati 250 Scrambler that was in pretty decent but not perfect shape. He wants it to be showroom perfect and enlisted my help, and since it's my first vintage Ducati that I've worked on, I'll be enlisting y'alls help.

Most everything has been pretty straightforward and simple on the tear down, only a few hitches that I'll post up on the appropriate subforum.

Cheers

Hi Erik and welcome to the Forum.

Your neighbor did well. The bike looks to be in very good condition. Most/many of these narrow-case Scramblers have been severely abused over the years ...

It's quite an uncommon machine. Also called the "250 Motocross" in some Ducati literature of the time, it's main market was the States. In Europe, it was the later wide-case Scrambler that was the big hit.

Have fun!

Craig
