DewCatTea Bob’s Legacy
Posted: Tue Feb 20, 2018 2:35 am
We are here because of DewCatTea Bob. We are sorry for your loss. Have been lurking this past week. Your forum and DewCatTea Bob’s posts helped us sort out the wiring on our 28v magneto/alternator and the genius behind Ducati’s design and helped answer a question why Ducati went from a 40 watt system to a 28 watt system. Thank goodness your forum has preserved the knowledge and wisdom so that Bob’s legacy lives on! Not one color of our wires on the Mag/Alternator were even close to matching the manual. However with a volt ohm meter and your forum we were able to find out what was going on inside our engine without breaking the cases. No we aren’t lazy but the reason why is a long story. We plan on tinkering with some of his other ideas on this build.
Nobody is more passionate about vintage Ducati’s than my son Zeke. Zeke finds old motorcycles like some kids bring home strays. At 10 he built his first motorcycle with Frank Scurria’s peel fairing, at 11 he had two world champions do the ton on his second bike that he put a dustbin on. At 12 while at Barber’s Museum he announced the Ducati Elite as his dream bike. He just finished building his 3rd custom bike Zoöid for the television personality Bryan Fuller. He is a student of motorcycle history.
While NOT doing his homework in computer class Zeke found our 68 Ducati Scrambler 250 on online. The previous owner had his home hit by a tornado not far from our home which was the impetus for him selling. His garage was untouched but his home had been hit hard. They were starting the rebuilding process and were living in an apartment not far from his home. His wife didn’t even know he had the Ducati. He had skills! Lol!
We have envisioned it by taking two of Fabio Taglioni‘ most beautiful designs and marrying then together. The Monza and the Scrambler because those were the parts we were given after we inherited her. We have been careful not to modify any major component as if this bike needs to go back to being a Scrambler one day it can. There are some very subtle modifications to try and make her more beautiful. Her name is Delinda the Ducati. Thank You! https://youtu.be/_JS4v1jhnV8
