And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Desmodromic. I believe they have no valve springs, or at least very light ones. The vertical finned tube with the oil lines contains a driveshaft to turn the overhead cam (via bevel gears), and the rocker arms actuate the valves both opening and closing them. I may not be precisely correct, but that is the gist of it.
I took the she-devil out for a run yesterday and it's still pure FUN to ride. It's my first Ducati and I've had it for three years now. Difficult to believe it's been that long of a time...which flies whey you're having fun.
