The following is written by Himself regarding photo's in last post:
The cylinder head you're viewing is from the front cylinder--(#2)-- of a early example of Fabio Taglioni's fabulous 750 Ducati bevel drive V-twin. It is the first one I've dug into and am quite impressed with the castings, quality control and mainly the beautiful mechanical design. Wonderfully made silent bevel gears are everywhere. The desmodromic update came soon after, and honestly, I'm glad I'm not dealing with that complicated "improvement"! I probably don't have to tell you this engine was the precursor to all the Ducati twins built since!
Next on the agenda--2 Goldstar 500's--One a very rare racer--I couldn't afford even the insurance!!!
By the way, I'm guilty of reading over the shoulder of Vita and really enjoy your tales and beautiful images.
Nice "talking" to you,
Himself--or--HH

Well thank you kind sir! Mystery resolved. And thanks for reading my blog, too. A cosy image, that -you nuzzling over Vita's shoulder!

Re your comments on my blog - I always thought the US of A was to the forefront of technology. "Dial-up broadband" must be on a par with Model "T" Fords!
Long time no post, Vita. I hope all is well with you and yours?
Just popped by to say nice to have your comments again on my blog and also to mention that my latest effort is about Royal Enfield motorcycles - which may be of interest.
I believe we are less advanced technologically here in USA, due to being so advanced in previous technologies, thus making the entire system very large, slow, and cumbersome, though anyone with enough funds can overcome those obstacles.
