Desmo eats dirt

Stole from another forum:

So I just saw this on a local forum and is probably spreading like wildfire. A borrowed desmo for someones first trackday and of course lays it down. Read it here hopefully no repost )

Might not look like to much damage, but to be replaced with OEM brand new parts, it'll cost more then my bike did new.

Douchebags,.... both the owner AND the borrower.

Look a couple pages in and see a 1098R got layed down as well.

Yep.
I wouldn't WANT to ride anything over a 600 on my first trackday.

Damn sure wish I was at Jennings this past Sat to see this in person.

The best thing about that thread is this picture:

Fuck you Stoner!

I did a trackday at Barber and there was a guy with a brand new 1098R there for his first trackday. He at least went VERY slow, I guess if you've got the money, spend it.

My only question is this, that bodywork is all Carbon Fibre, WHY in the hell wouldn't you buy some track skins for it?

I don't think anyone makes fiberglass fairings for it yet. Maybe DP, but I didn't see anything in their Desmo accessories catalog...

Motowheels has a set for $1599. They're currently out of stock though.
