ncr 'mike hailwood' racer, they wanted to race at this year's tt races but the authorities kicked them out because they thought the titanium frame wasn't up to the stress of racing the mountain cicuit, shame really, i would have loved to have seen this big ducati at the scene of one of the greatest racing comebacks in history, mike hailwood's 1978 tt victory on a 900ss supersport
