In the late 70s my brother owned a Ducati 860 GT motorcycle. Thrilling bike but totally unreliable. It seemed he spent more time fixing it than riding it, but when it was running, oh boy, what fun! Great handling (for its time), beautiful styling, V-twin motor, and that unmistakeable Conti exhaust note. Only the Italians could make something so completely unreliable that you still love so completely! A few rides on his bike got me so hooked on Ducati that I bought a 1980 900 SS Darmah for myself. Every once in a while I'd hit a bump, lose the electrics, and the motor would die until I wiggled my hand around in the wiring bird's nest behind the headlamp and it came back to life. Still regret selling it.
