Dale Quarterley and Ferracci raced this bike in 1986, placing multiple times and winning Sears Point. The motor is full Ferracci and the tell tale is the custom made Supertrapp exhaust and the re-welded shifter Dale was known to drag in turns and break.
The previous owner purchased it in 1990 and I found and purchased it in November, 2011.

Welcome to the forum mate. Very nice bike. Quite a piece of history there i recon. You would most certainly get a lot of attention at a track day.
Very nice.
Cheers,

That was a very shrewd purchase! Welcome to the forum. You should hook up with George v, he has similar great taste ! _________________ Pomps

Brian and Duncan,
Thanks for your posts. It was luck the bike came to me and I'm very honored to own it. My primary interest is Ducati Pantah's (1979 - 87), so it fits perfectly.
Happy Holidays,
Greg _________________ Have a wheelie nice day!!! |
