My New Ducati
From the “Just Shoot Me” file, the attached photos of the remains of a 1965 Ducati Bronco, perhaps the most humble motorcycle built by this proud marque, which I today acquired for a quite reasonable sum.
It apparently was running, but not shifting properly, when the neighbor’s son pulled the engine and sent it out to have the shifter problem solved. We shall see. While the engine was away, he started sanding the paint from the frame and “fixing” the tank. I would have left the whole thing alone, just rubbed it out as much as possible. We shall see. All the parts seem to be present and accounted for. If not, the chase will be fun. Even in a machine as humble as this, the Italians sure do have style, though. What looks like presently:  Cute little 125cc pushrod engine:

Now when you are in a bar and have had a few, you can brag "When I'm not in the Porsche I'm tearing up the back roads on my Ducati..."
