Putty Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 This SUCKS!!! A CALIFORNIAN man lost his brand new Ducati Desmosedici when a lone hijacker robbed the nightclub owner of his machine at gunpoint. Dan Travers, 42, was riding home from a friend's house in Santa Monica aboard his £40,000 steed when a lone gunman approached Travers while he was sat waiting at a set of traffic lights. "The guy appeared from behind me while I was waiting at a stop light," said Travers. "He told me to get off the bike and keep walking or he'd shoot. I couldn't see his face as he was wearing a helmet and dark visor. There was no one else around." Travers was one of the first customers to take delivery of the new Desmosedici in California. "I'm heartbroken," said Travers on losing his MotoGP replica. "I've been waiting for over a year for it to arrive and I've lost it in less than a week." It's unknown whether the thief targetted Travers or just got lucky. Let's just hope he's not turned it into a streetfighter. http://www.visordown.com/motorcyclenews/view/desmosedici_owner_hijacked_at_gunpoint/3737.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonan1647545505 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 ive always been worried about that when riding in crackron... if the theif wasnt wearing a helmet i would have head butted him in the face and took off! :zoom: however if the theif was wearing a helmet he probably had planned this, especially for that bike...
