Wow...I guess the saying...when it rains it pours... is true.

Thread here

QuoteSo we did a club track day with a local dealer. One of the participants.....you ready for this? BORROWED a Desmosedici from his buddy to do his first track day with.
Here are the results.

Quotewell the story goes something like this.

There was a chick that was in the same group who had a dozen or so track days under her belt. She kept passing him through the turns but in the straights, well the sedici would eat her alive, as expected. In one of the turns she out braked him and he went too hot into the turn didn't realize for that bike turning at that speed is like cruzing, so he went straight and hit her. Her being a more experienced rider kept it upright, went off track, manged to recover and went back out, he stuffed the front wheel and crashed.
Now the recent story is she ran him off the track and there was talk he is planing on suing the track and her. which is stupid because you sign a waiver when you sign up.
And I just got confirmation, there is no insurance on the bike.

And the borrower guy broke his leg...and that's his GMC pickup in the first picture.

wow...

so i guess he's an idiot for using a D16 for his first track day, and his buddy is an even bigger idiot for letting him borrow it?

no sympathy for anyone, but i do feel sorry for the bike. :P

Man, those pics of that poor bike make my fun bits shrivel up.   :'(

There's a little more info from motogpfan about the whole event down in NMC (mebbe it should get moved to General?), including a link to the forum for the track:  http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=13091.0

Lending a desmo to a first time track rider?!?

poor bike...
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...
