I've got a couple project bikes, one a 250 and one a 350. Poke around here a bit and you'll find others.

Not for years - but my first 2 Italian bikes were a 250 Diana (stolen from behind my house one night) and a 350 Desmo (found in a farmyard, bought for $100 - and ran perfectly). These were the most fun bikes I ever had - I absolutely loved them both.

thanks for the replys guys!, and thanks chuckracer for living up to his avatar.im only guessing the animal in the pic is a........ i was actually curious if any of the guys that own the modern stuff own any of the old stuff as well...i started out with a 95 900ss but became familar with the old singles while working at a dealership where i sold vintage parts on the internet. and have to say my favorite ducati ride of all time was a 59 black and silver 250 motocross that almost killed me in our back lot.

I restored a 68 350MKIIID about 25 years ago and still ride it ... occasionally.

welcome to the land of bevel. So what do you ride now?

[murphyslaw]

nuthin now but i had a pretty slick 05 triumph bonny until i tried to hydroplane it across a flooded highway underpass...the moto x video guys make it look SO easy...then i picked up a nice gt mountain bike but a fat chick in a ford suv mowed me down. that was actually really funny cause i think she thought she had just killed someone...and then i just hopped back up.

I had a 250GT until recently-sold that one-still have a 450RT, 1200 Multistrada, Gilera Nuovo Saturno, and a GasGas Pampera-so I guess the answer to your question is yes-I have both old and new stuff-on road and off.
