1966 Ducati 250cc Single MK3 Diana Speciale startup 2

[@gerhard6105]

My father bought a normal Diana 250 new, when he was 18. He said that at that time, he went faster then all cars and new all cars are faster. We found the bill from the purchase. He paid for it in two times. He drove it to Normandie and to the fMilie is Easten Germany (GDR). I just (5 minutes ago) asked my mother about that trip and she said that when they stoppec in from of the familie house from my mothers grandmother, many boys and man czme to watch the bike. Imagine a brand new Ducati in a East German street where they never have seen or heard such a bike. My father passed away and now my brother has the bike. It is unrestored and in very good condition still with the as new brochure and the very nice hand air pump with it. I am Dutch but regards from Belgium. My brother has a Cucciolo website.

... they never tick over

[@gekgraphics]

I’m not sure what you mean. Mine ticks over fine.

[@caribman10]

Do you have the megaphone and the flyscreen too?

[@gekgraphics]

This is a 66 Mark three that would’ve been earlier with the fly screen. Megaphone? Do you mean air intake megaphone?

[@scottbarham8455]

those rare race kit parts ... also rear sets .. very hard to find

[@dugwthree]

nice machine. not sure why you painted it blue though

[@gekgraphics]

Because red tank black frame and silver fenders is boring. This is more like the 60 ‘ 64 64 color scheme.

@@gekgraphics i used to have a blue 64. The hot rod version Came factory with only a tachometer and no brake light. Wish I had kept it now .
