You woke me up. Attached are a couple of photos of my 1967 Ducati Sebring. I could not believe my eyes when I saw my bike on the front cover of your magazine. I have been getting Motorcycle Classics from the start and always wished that an article on this bike would show up sometime, never believing it would get a full review. Thanks.

I bought mine at a dealer in Fayetteville, North Carolina, when I was stationed at Fort Bragg in 1967. $610.00 got me the bike and I never looked back. As you can see, in 1971 I gave it some modifications. 1977 was the last time I rode it. It’s stowed in a shed waiting for me to bring it back.

In 1998 Ducati gave me a dream bike by making the ST2. That’s my ride today. Fantastic bike. I could go on and on about the 350.
