My lovely, previously immaculate italian assembled (Rome Plant at that) ST4 has been vandalised!!!!
It happened to it while in asecure TRUSTED location, at the hands of a so called FRIEND who has a serious alcohol issue
When confronted over the damage, things went haywire and well he bled some and result is, i have to wear the cost of the vandalism, in exchange for no assault charge to answer to
Pix attached, need a hand folks, need a REAL good painter as this bike has real history.
It toured Europe with a NZDF officer who was there as a weapons inspector with the UN
It came back to NZ via US Miltary Carrier
I am unsure this shade of paint, or the quality of the factory finish will ever be possible to reinstate....I am so gutted, just so so gutted
Those who know the Wellington Tag O Rama scene are aware of the issue, of the fact this moron is gonna kill another rider one day....... but thats another issue altogether and is being handled appropriately at all levels possible...this asshole WILL be caught drink riding his 1200cc Suzuki and sooner the better
Meantime...I have avoided jail by a few inches of grace, and now need a good panelbeater who loves Ducati Red as much as I do
