"Hey bro, need to talk to you about the desmo..."

[onearmedbandit]

Guy can't wait to get his new Desmosodici RR, so gets his brother to pick it up, who drops it within 2hrs of it leaving the dealership. Lucky the damage is limited to a few scrapes and tweaking, but I sure as fark wouldn't want to be making that call.

Linky - see post #12. (http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=236966)

Totally agree dude, Desmo owner shoulda smacked him in the chops. Just a jealous wanker if you ask me....

Yeah if some guy was talking to me like that when i had just had my bike stacked i would tell him too fuck off before i crack him one, he knew he was pissing the owner off yet kept asking, what a dick.:rolleyes:

Bloody Hell, 31 pages of BARFing. Happy it wasn't my mates '16's tho:Punk:

[DUCATI*HARD]

gutted:oi-grr:

[Mikkel]

So, it's an expensive bike that someone has managed to scratch - what's so special about that? Heaps of examples of people damaging and writing off very expensive cars and motorcycles.

Sure enough, the guy posting the story behaved like a dickhead with the schadenfreude and all that - but anyone would get pissed off being hassled like that, no matter what bike it was.

[onearmedbandit]

Nothing so special, it is just like any other bike in ability to topple over. Just I wouldn't want to have had to made that call. Despite the damage being minimal, it would still take the a bit of the 'new-bike' gloss off of it. And yeah the original poster in that thread was lucky not to have been knocked over.

[Kickaha]

7 days sin bin just for calling someone an asshole, and people are dumb enough to think the moderation here is OTT

[Steam]

What happens in the sin bin? I wanna go to the sin bin!

[No FX]

I wonder how long his brother thought he was joking when he told him!

Hey that's off topic, which over there must be worth a 12 day stretch.

Yes, that doesn't surprise me that a mate of yours has one. :lol:

[Nagash]

MS paint FTW!

[MVnut]

Actually he has 2

[onearmedbandit]

You're effing kidding me? Let me guess, one for the track and one for the road? Or one in America and one in Europe?

[Mikkel]

So what is the deal with these 16s? What makes them so special that OAB is just about loosing his jaw at that comment (mate, better hang on to what's left eh ;) )?

I don't know enough about Ducatis to have a clue...

[MVnut]

It's just that Ohio and Texas are sooooooooo far apart ( altho he has his own plane too) and they're both road/track bikes. 'Pa' is one seriously fast mother%$#^&* and uses his toys well. He also has quite a few other nice Eyeties (2 Ghezzi Brians, Duc 1098 Tri, 999S, Multistrada, MV 910R and F4, and I've probably missed a few). He's one of the 'regulars' in Europe:woohoo:

It's comforting to know that this blind madman, with so many very fast motorcycles, is in the states!

What kind of plane? That's what I'm curious about...

[MVnut]

I'll have to dig up a pic of the plane, shouldn't be long

[Mikkel]

Mikkel, you need educatin' boy:calm:

I knew that - actually I was asking to be educated. Come on and enlighten me, please :)

I'm confident that Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducati_Desmosedici) can fill in the blanks for you.

[MVnut]

Well done OAB, and Mikkel, why do you call him a blind madman, he's one of the best riders I know, I'd be happy riding wheel to wheel with him anywhere.

[Mikkel]

Yeah, I'd been all over that long ago if I wasn't at home on the dial-up. So bloody slow :(

It was in relation to him owning a multistrada... If I was on a proper connection I'd find the "motivational" poster describing what I mean (goes something like: At least when you're on it you don't have to look at it.). ;)

But I'll start loading the wiki page, have a bottle of wine and then come back and read it.

He uses the Multi on the shingle that's too fast for his 450 KTM (but I get your drift)

Fuck me, that some bike! :eek: (the wine wasn't too bad either...) Thanks for the heads up... Another lovely thing I'll never own - just like the Concorde and an XB70 Valkyre.

Good on him for getting two - I dunno what strings he'd have to pull to manage that but I guess quite a few.

So Chris where do you know Mr. Cruise from ;)

Tom has an MV SPR:beer:

Tom has an MV SPR:beer:

And apparently was the first in America to receive a D16RR. (Well the media said he was the first, though he definitely has one.)

[Mikkel]

It just said in the Wiki (and I've seen it posted on here as well) that he received one of the first Desmosedici RRs produced...

Anyway, I guess being a scientologist wouldn't prevent you from having a good taste in bikes.

What are you lacking to have your MV collection complete? Tamburini, CC, Veltro Pista or... ? :)

[MVnut]

And the Tricolor will be here soon:cool:

Tamburini? (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=67979) Nah, he's not lacking that. Unless you're looking for a stock standard version, MVnut's is shall we say upgraded from the standard 'you couldn't own me if you tried' Tamburini.

:D :niceone: :yes:

But yeah, I agree - a bit slow and dull in standard trim eh :p

Dunno what to say except: I bloody well hope I'll be able to settle for less! :yes:
