Keith Harte is a frequently heard name in the Ducati social circles, in stories of what he did and what he built in his racing days. In 2014 I had the opportunity to purchase what was left from his business, and that includes a few racing bikes and parts. The more I researched about him, the more I realized how important he was in the canadian Ducati world back starting in the 70s. Keith had a Ducati shop in Grimsby, ON, and was one of the first Ducati dealers in Canada. He helped to promote Ducati racing in Canada with his two rare factory Ducati Imola bikes. Keith is a renowned tuner and builder of exceptional racing bikes, a man with full knowledge of the mechanics. In 2015, I invited him to come to my shop and showed him my collection, as well as a few unfinished projects that he left and I am working on or were already completed by me. Here I share some pictures of Keith's visit to my shop. You can see he looks great at age of 81 in the picture beside the Ducati 888 racer. which is one of his favorite bikes. He asked me to never sell it.
