flounder Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thief Steels one... http://www.visordown.com/motorcyclenews/view/desmosedici_owner_hijacked_at_gunpoint/3737.htmlOwner loses £40,000 bike less than week after taking deliveryA 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.

When somebody blows past me the first thought is usually, "I hope everything's okay". You never know what's going on in that person's life. They could be on their way to see their child born. Their kids could be in trouble. Their alarm company may have called saying the fire alarms were going off. You never know what's going through their mind or what's happening in their life. No reason to judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Funny. When somebody blows past me the first thought is usually, "I hope everything's okay". You never know what's going on in that person's life. They could be on their way to see their child born. Their kids could be in trouble. Their alarm company may have called saying the fire alarms were going off. You never know what's going through their mind or what's happening in their life. No reason to judge.I just blow by people because I'm impatient and want everyone to get the hell out of my way. That is an honest reply too. But when I'm at 80-90 cruising in my car on the interstate and somebody goes flying by me in their car at 130+ I normally think,"dumbass", which I shouldn't, but if it's in a sportscar, I normally think,"AWESOME!"
