Just bought a "Ducati scrambler" ;-) For Sale

[Yukonica]

]I had two 3 1/2s at the same time, a early sport and a strada, them little buggers could realy hum for a 350, and I used to take the sport over redline a lot, it loved it ;-T

I had a 3 1/2 Strada for a few years. Rode the skin off it. I even rode it from Victoria BC to Calgary and back without any issues. Loved the bike except for the one carburetor intake facing forward... would shut down that cylinder in a heavy rain. Bike was third hand when I got it so I have no idea if that was a design or an add-on. I'd buy another if I ever saw one for sale. Great little bike.

well, good luck but Ringling Bros put all their elephants out to retirement. 

I hope you have a lot of peanuts.  But you'll have to put it to pasture.

 ;D

sorry

Those Cagiva rubber parts and body parts are difficult to find. Check the rubber elbows that connect to the carbs.  I bet they're cracked up too.

I had two of these bikes and rode the hell out of them in the early 90's. Fabulous runners. I ended selling them due to body parts availability since I rode mine in the woods and encountered harm's way often.

For a while I could get things like the rubber parts but that soon dried up. I fixed my cracked rubber intake plumbing by cleaning the parts and spraying them with black aerosol vinyl, the tool-handle dip stuff. It worked great.

I shelved the heavy muffler assembly and fabricated a two-into-two system pushing two small Supertrap mufflers.

The Elefant is a super bike. It'll throw a rooster tail on sand at 60 MPH. Be careful.

Sure thing. I need to visit anyway.

Body parts - yeah, not real available, but I'm not planning on crashing. ;D I may buy another tank from Ed Milich - the way I see it, that's the most important, easily damaged and difficult to repair piece. Plastics aren't really a problem unless you really crash big-time.

Rubber bits - absolutely no issue here. I've already had the rubber "union" between the frame and airbox reproduced by CSM Reproductions and will have the rubber elbows from the carb to frame done next. No hurry there - mine are like new, no cracks or deterioration at all. The rubber on the intake manifolds did have a few shallow cracks, I sealed them with Seal-All and covered the entire rubber part with adhesive lined heat-shrink tubing. Used a section of a late Tonti breather hose as a replacement for the unavailable original.

The original muffler stays. Although it's heavy, it's quiet even with an open end cap, yet still has a nice bark to it.

Yeah, only another $1000 and 30 hours to put it right. It'll be the same with my $500 Ducati Paso.
