Vintage Motos

Showcasing fine Vintage Motorcycles

Our plan is to add many more videos from the museum, shows and rides in which we participate. We would also like to eventually have video of most of the bikes being ridden or at least running. Please keep checking back as this is a work in progress.
"Vicki Smith & her 1959 Ducati F3 @ Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance"
Me, riding around on the 18th green at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on the Phil Schilling "Satisfied Mind" Ducati F3 factory racer. (with the worlds tallest gearing, I need to ask Phil if he was going to Daytona or what, lol) It's pretty amazing to find yourself on the porch with the big dogs at Pebble - motorcycle's just started getting invited to what is considered the most important car show in the world a couple of years ago. (If your car wins Pebble it's worth 1 Million dollars more on the spot. Seriously.) To be invited is a huge honor. Plus, they let you ride an unregistered race bike with open exhaust on the 17 Mile drive and then do a few laps on the 18th green. And go to about 30 parties. There was a lobster buffet. For real. Best. Weekend. Ever.

Jim and Rich fire up the F3, for the first time in thirty five years. This bike was restored by Phil Schilling one of the editors of Cycle magazine. This bike was featured in Cycle in an article entitled; "The Satisfied Mind." This bike is now refered to as the Satisfied Mind Bike.

The Ducati 900 Super Sport Desmo "Darmah", was based on the Sport Desmo "Darmah". It was an attractive adaptation of the Super Sport cafe racer to the Darmah engine and chassis. This bike can be seen at Vintage Motos, Denver,CO. www.vintagemotos.com
