Default Don't crash your Desmosedici...

You may recall a few months ago I posted something about a local individual who has crashed every bike he's ever owned (at low speed). The list goes something like this:

748 - Twice
996 - Once
998 Bayliss Replica - Twice
Hypermotard - Once
GSX-R1000 - Multiple

When he bought the Desmo we put together a pool on how many kilometers he would go before he crashed it. I pulled the ticket for 500 or under. Apparently I won - 474 km or less than 300 miles. Total damage - $45,000.

Just to give you an idea of the exorbitant parts prices Ducati is charging, a front brake lever is $1,000.00.

Doofus...
