Contingency
BIKE:1979 900SS
OWNER:Christopher Brown
LOCATION:New Mexico
MILEAGE:17,045 (km)
ENGINE:Stock, has never been apart.
CHASSIS:900 SS stock.
OTHER:This Ducati 900SS is original and unrestored except for the windscreen and the re-painted tail section.
SIGNIFICANCE:This Ducati 900SS was built in November of 1978 and imported to Canada. The original owner had it stored for many years which explains the low mileage. The second owner only had the motorcycle for one year. I am the 3rd owner and imported it to the US in January of 2003. At the time that I purchased this motorcycle, it was less than 25 years old which means that it had to meet US emissions and DOT regulations for import into the US. Between having the motorcycle shipped in from Canada and getting it past the rather strict US Customs agent, I had my share of anxious moments before it was safely home and in my garage.
