So I stop in at Honda/Penn Ducati to get a set of rear pads for the Monster since I was on my way down Hwy 85 anyway. And as I pull in the lot there's the legendary Desmodeci RR on a crappy 100 dollar Harbor Freight trailer behind a Lexus SUV. "Woah." I think, "The new owner must be picking it up.

So I hop off, take off the lid and gloves, and take a closer look. Is that body damage down the left side and along the tail? My God, it is. That's some low speed "Spun it out from under me" slide damage all down the left side of the bike, and things are all-around tweaked.

I shake my head and walk inside to the parts counter. I'm told that the bike had not been gone from the showroom more than an hour or two before it was right back in there with it's fresh 'additions'. Think about that for a moment. 75k worth of bike, on the road for less than two hours before the new owner managed to find some asphalt with something other than the tires.

So I come back out and whip out the cellphone. The owner is there and I say, "Man, I gotta get a picture of this."

The owner says, "Would you mind taking a picture of the other side?"

I reply, "No way man, this is hilarious... a 75k dollar bike dropped less than two hours on the road. I want shots of the damage. How did you do this? What happened?"

He replies that it's a long and painful story, and he wasn't even the one riding at the time.

I respond, "No, seriously... this is a 75k dollar bike, how did you do this? Inside they say you didn't even make it to the Shell station."

At this point he had some serious neckvein going, but I couldn't stop myself. I was overwhelmed by the absurdity of it all. Here was a 75k dollar bike on the cheapest trailer money could buy being pulled by a Lexus SUV with damage all down the side. I just kept busting his chops till he got into his SUV and drove away.

I think he really -really- wanted to hit me, and honestly, who can blame him?

No offense, but I would have told you what you could have done with your leet camera phone. Light ribbing - sure why not. Pushing it to the point where you come off as a random a-hole w/ nothing better to do than rub someones nose in the shit pile they've made - yea, not my thing.

'Sorry to be a douche, but I gotta agree--it kinda' sounded like you were kicking a man who was already down. It sucks enough that he dropped it. But, whatever. I'm glad he didn't hit you, and I'm glad his accident wasn't worse than it was.
 
So you tell the dood that it's hilarious.

Because the bike is expensive? Because the owner isn't the one who dropped it?

Imagine the amount of halfwit comments a 'dici owner would have to endure from jealous assholes whether it gets dropped or not. Way to go, Ambassador.:thumbup
 
Great thanks to you we all had a shity day at work:twofinger
the ower is an architech for custom highend homes. he purchased this thing and could not wait to pick it up, he was talking about it for a entire month that he waited for the bike to arrive. anyhow he sent his brother to pick it up and the idiot drop it, he got to happy on the gas then grab a hand full of front brakes and kissed the asphalt, neatless to say he was F*%@!^ pissed and we all had to put up with his rath and it didnt help that you were busting his ball.:kicknuts
 
damn,a costly mistake for sure. I'm sure it'll take forever to get spares.
 
Oh man, thats painful. Granted, it's going to be a long ass time till I ever have the finances to snag a moto that expensive but hell! Not even two hours and it got rashed. Though I figure if he's got the money to buy an expensive toy, he's got the cash to fix it.

Oh that's right. Let's all pick on someone who has a bike that very few of us can afford. It's low rent jeolousy at best and I think you already know that.
 
Moral of the story?

Don't send an idiot that can't ride for shit to pick up a bike.

Damn. So he wasn't shining on when he used the "Someone else was on it" line. Shit, that makes it even worse.
