Hello there you guys, I have signed up this weekend at last having surfed the BevelHeaven site for many years..

Starting from the bottom up, I own:-
1959 200 Elite B series motor, under restoration
1968 350 Sebring racerized - run in Ducati Club races in France
1973 350 Desmo, bitza parts bike, still looking for the odd item
1974 RT/450 ready to restore after the Elite!!
1980 500SL Pantah running great and used regularly
(1979 Guzzi Lemans 1 looking for a new home - used fairly regularly)

I am interested in discussing projects and sharing info on my bikes, and am looking - like everyone else for a 72/73 750 GT project!!! I am not in a rush since I have the project list above to sort through first!!

I am also looking for a color reference or sample paint chip for the metallic blue used on 200ss and 175 sport frames, does anyone out there have anything..

Thanx in advance and look forwards to chatting..

James

Ah, interesting. Il y a un bon atelier pour Ducatisti à Toulon, je crois? Il s'appelle Plein-Pot et se trouve 268 avenue Cdt Marchand. Tu le connais déjà?

Amicalement

Yes Craig there was recently an article in the French motorbike press on this Bike shop called Plein Pot, (flat out, I guess in English)..

I went there once a while back to have some tires fitted to my Guzzi.. they were really cool guys and gave me addresses of Biker hangouts in Toulon..

Ok, I'll write in Engish to avoid upsetting Peter :-) :shock:

Yeh, sounds like the same rag I saw it in - Café Racer with the article on the NCR Mike Hailwood tribute bike and an interview with Claudio Domenicali being rude about Terblanche ;)

On another note, have you heard of this little get-together - end of July, at Roquebrune-Cap Martin, so not far from you?

Ciao (woops, don't think I'm allowed to say that :?. Peter - ?
