This was a few years back. He sold it and gave up bikes. Wife not amused. He was always a pompous prick, so he muttered about setting his corporate legal team on Ducati GB, because it was all the bike's fault for not running smooth enough while it was warming up.
Tbf I did something almost as daft with a 2 day old RSV. I'd made a ramp from scaffolding planks so I could ride out of the garden, which was 2 feet lower than the street. The ramp was narrow and not exactly grippy and I fucked up. The following week I left the bike outside my house with the keys in. The local kids then rode it all around their estate, up and down walkways etc, while pursued by the police. The kids were more skilled than me, and didn't drop it, so I got the bike back unharmed, except for the scratches I'd made falling off my ramp.

Bloody hell, that’s sort of impressive. Hope the bikes not too badly sprained.
I did the other crank seal last night. It was a right bloody pain, 4.5hrs of skinned knuckles and cursing for what should take a couple of hours. Better bloody work!
