Apparently a car accident shoved a car into a whole row of Ducatis causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Luckily no one got hurt for serious.

There are just so many fantastic things in this picture.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

It was bound to happen eventually with that program... if this is the first major incident, I'm genuinely surprised that it took this long. At least nobody was really hurt. The program was really good for the motorcycle industry, because, as anybody that's ever bought a bike knows, test rides are few and far between. I hope that it doesn't impact the viaibility of the operation (I would hope their business continuity unit would have addressed the concern long before it ever hit the road). Losing it would be a real shame.

(it's pretty cool to me that the first major incident I hear about isn't caused by idiots participating... really sez something for motorcyclists, I think)
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
