I rode down to Ocala with a group from Jax this Sunday to the Duc dealership because they were doing Hypermotard demos. I was talking to the owner of the dealership and he said that they did an estimate on the Desmo that was wrecked and it has close to $35k of damage. Cause like PhiSig said, the bodywork is all CF. Not sure if the exhaust was damaged in any way, but the Titanium system of the bike is $8k.

Just read on page 9 that it wasn't insured and the repairs are going to be 30 grand.

Hey, I don't know about the espresso machine, but if I had the $$$ I'd have a jeager machine AND a mini-keggerator in my trailer!

You make it sound like we don't.... I know many more that ride than pose.

Hell, at least that desmo died at the track rather than getting backed over by a soccer mom while the owner was on an espresso run.

OK, fair enough. But, do you have eight road courses around you within a few hour's drive? Oak Hill, Texas World Speedway, MotorSport Ranch, Eagles Canyon, Harris Hill Road, Mercedes Sugarland Ranch, GrandSport Speedway, Driveway Austin...

I won't argue that the Italian market certainly has it's poseurs and squids. There are enough out there to make the stereotype stick. I can think of two in Austin that have chicken strips on their Desmo and 1098R's that make me cry.

But, I wouldn't think that ratio is even close around here.

well we have thunderbolt/lightning, pocono and vir. might be more...not sure
