Hello all,

Is mid-ohio worthing going to for the ducati scene?

It has been in years past. A group of great Ducati guys usually get the same spot every year. When you walk into the HUGE fleak market area make a hard right and follow the fence line to the end, which is just shy of the incomming road. These guys throw up a Ducati flag and put out vintage Ducati bikes which in the past always included an original and unrestored Mach 1.

One year I met that Australian guy Phil that runs Road and Race, Pete Calles and Giacomo Agostini too.

It used to be that Rich Lambrechts (Desmo Pro) had his shop in nearby Mansfield Ohio but he has since moved his shop to Florida. It was always fun to see what Rich was working on in his shop.

I went today - Sunday. If anyone goes for the swap meet, go on Saturday. I was hoping to find some deals, people want to dump stuff, but instead they were packing up and leaving before noon. There was only one seller with Ducati singles, but no parts that I could see. I would say it was 70% Asian, 25% British and the last 5% was a mix. The guy had a 250 and a 350, plus a 250 frame. All really rough, they were from Toronto. I didn't ask about prices on the bikes. I am going to try again next year.....on Saturday. I love a deal, but couldn't find anything to buy.

I went on Friday. Few if any Ducs. There was a rough elite for 4 grand. A 200 GT (?) for 3100. A rusty pile roller of a 125 missing an engine for 250. There was a vendor who sold singles parts out of pennslyvania, he had 3-4 ducs at his stand. I picked up a scrambler headlight. and an oversized 170mm CEV headlight. Mainly japanese, with 25% british.
Domiracer had almost no ducati parts. Really interesting though. Saw a lot of great bikes. Reaally in the middle of nowhere.
