ouch, sliding into armco, not funny
Actually that is a thing I have seen a few times, owner spends loads of money on a bike, and then drops it
A guy I knew built an RC30 with all sorts of fancy parts and dropped it riding into a kerb outside his house, doing almost as much damage as that Ducati. What was silly in his case was that even though he owned a series of powerful bikes I never knew him to ride at a speed that couldn't be achieved comfortably on a 125. He was the butt of a lot of jokes and soon drifted away into some other hobby where he could show off his wealth.
