Himself now has two friends with Ducatis (is that the plural form of Ducati?) who let him work on them. He's very excited about getting this one running again. I'm excited because the new tail light came from Cyprus, except it was mailed from Greece, and had lovely stamps on the package, which I got to keep to send to a stamp collecting cousin. More parts are on the way from all over. Doubt if I get more stamps, though.
The other Ducati in the background you've seen before, and is a genuine basket case, which I'd like to put out in the garden and build an arbor for, like the neighbor's statue under an arbor. What do you think?
We now have dial up internet service, so I hope it will let me post this. I'd better not go on too long, in fact, I just got cut off because someone tried to call in on the phone line, but hung up after two rings?

Characterful bikes, Ducatae (pedantic Latin plural of "i" suffixes!)
Loved the sensible lady view about interesting stamps on the parts parcels!
Happy Christmas to you and yours.
Oh, those bikes are some of my favorites. As Avus says, they have character. I think that's why I like so many old things, places and people. I hope I have character as I get older, and don't turn grumpy, like so many folks do.
I hope you all enjoyed a happy Christmas Vita.
With much love to you, and to HH and DD.
Thank you, Avus. and Mrs. Staggs. We had a lovely Christmas with a little Charlie Brown Christmas tree and outside one gay little string of lights.
