Poor bastard, hope he had put insurance on it, matching leathers & all.
I went for a ride day on new Ducati's a while back & a few guys managed to drop those tippy toeing out of the dealership onto the road. And a friend took a BMW 800 twin for a test ride last month & dropped it on pavement (cost him $600 for the waiver).

I think it would have actually been the slippery new tire and getting on it a little too hard that caused that.

Sounded and looked to me like he stood on the back brake, and locket it up along with killing the engine

Edit: JK lol. Gotta watch it with more than 5% volume :P

Haha those are great. I bet that happens a lot more often than you might think - ppl wrecking after buying brand new bikes.

Happy Turkey Day to all by the way.
