Comfortable Ducati Elite to suit an octogenarian (almost).
Wanted one since I was a teenager, couldn't afford it on apprentice pay. Sixty years later I have one thanks to accident insurance payment. Not a recommended way to get one. :D
Not started up yet. Not happy with condition of camshaft nut thread, new one ordered.

It's a toss up which looks better - the bike or the rider.

Looking in fine fettle George and the bike is no bad either! ;)

Good health to enjoy the wee beastie, Bill

Thanks for all the comments, the bike is definitely in better condition than me. Took for test rides up and down my road to adjust carb. Idle fine, needle lowered one notch. Running great. Pleasantly surprised at power and acceleration. Under dust sheet now waiting for DVLA.
