Not quite sure how to upload pictures to the forum yet, but I've given it a go. If you can see the attachment you should see my new (to me) 996S Hodgson Rep.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome guys, I'm sure I will be bugging you with daft questions over the next few weeks

Your bike looks immaculate a tribute to its previous owner/owners
Hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of you ownership of your first Ducati, it'll certainly be different from the FJR
