Paul,

Is it possible to send me the serial number of the bike (frame and engine)?
I may be able to give you some info from those numbers.

Either bike is fine for touring. Of course the larger engine and 5 speed is
nice but the 750 with the 4 speed works fine.

I think these bikes work best at 50mph along a quite two lane road in the
country but I have cruised on mine at 80 mph. The bike was stable and hummed
(or should I say whined) right along.

Regards...Ian

Hi list - just a brief introduction and a request for help. I'm an
aspiring loopframe owner that has been observing from afar (Sydney
Asutralia) for a couple of weeks now. I currently own a 1974 Ducati Desmo
Single that I'm looking to get rid of so I can get a loop. I though I'd
start the search early because there aren't a great number of loopframes
out here it seems. Perhaps you guys can help me figure out from the photo
at

whether this potential purchase is a genuine LAPD Ambassador? It's located
a long way from civilisation - Bundaberg in Queensland, but if it's the
real deal I'm going for a holiday nearby in a couple of weeks, so I'll go
view it then.

Thanks in advance for your help - I'm impressed with the wealth of
information you guys share.

Regards,

Paul
