New person here

[rjk40]

Hi from east central Florida.

I am restoring a 1975 Ducati 860GT kick-start that I bought new.
Bike is apart, and I am preparing to soda blast the engine and acquire the parts needed to get the bike to stand up.
All chrome parts are shot and gone.
Bike has only 12,000 easy miles on it, and I regret that I let it sit and corrode under cover while I was living in Washington State from
1985 to 2006.
Prior, I lived in Campbell, California, worked in Silicon Valley at many computer companies, and did a lot of riding in the
Santa Cruz mountains, Altamont (sic?) Pass, and Sacrament0, on many Poker runs.
I look forward to reading the posts and learning from the experiences of others, and I am happy to post my experiences as well.
I have restored a 1971 Chevelle, but This is my first bike resto. Some techniques will be familiar, and some will be new.
As a retired guy, I have more time than money.
Regards to all.
Richard
