Desmosedici wreck at Jennings GP

PS: it wasn't his bike. His friend let him borrow it after he kept getting passed on his Monster. It was his first time at the track too.
 
I had a guy borrow my bike (2000 ZX9R) one time. He said that he just wanted to ride around the block to see how it felt compared to his Honda SuperHawk. After out 15 minutes, I started having bad thoughts. Then when he came back in Jeep Cherokee, I knew what time it was! He was nice and roadrashed and I was nice and pissed!! I went to get the bike and found it totalled out in the ditch of a 25 MPH corner. The speedo was stuck at 79 MPH, so I am pretty sure why he wrecked.
Ever since then I do not let anyone ride my bike unless they have one of equal value and are willing to part with it! Only 2 others besides me have even sat on my Ducati!! One being the Dealer...

I am not sure what either of these guys were thinking with the Desmo??? Evidently they have more money than sense!!
 
A year or two ago, wait a minute I mean twenty years ago my wife's cousin was visiting us in North Carolina. I had a 1984 750 Intercepor (which by the way was da shit back then) and a 600 Huricaine (the original R6). Anyway the Cousin asks if He can take the Hurricaine for a ride I was hesitant but the wife (gotta love em) said sure. So we go out for a short and simple ride. He rode the bike like he didn't have a clue. So we get back to the house and the wife asks, How did he do? I don't want to embarrass him so I said fine figuring it was over. So again the wife says; why don't you go out for another ride later (gotta love em). So here's the punch line, We go out again he does a little better, but I had to show off and I rail hard into a corner and imeadiately realize that he is going to try to follow thinking oh shit. So I take a look in the mirror and there he goes sliding across the pavement. Took about $2500 to piece it back together. Never again!
