this is the same photos from the ducati dominos thread.
better perspective in that you can see the slope the bikes where parked wrong on.
it looks like the bikes with the "sails" caused a chain reaction. The last bike fell Into it's sidestand!
doesn't that mean either 1) broken/bent stand or 2) cracked crankcase ?
my bad this was posted already sorry [bacon]
Interesting.
I took that last pic.
The only place I posted it was on this forum.
So somebody evidently saw it here, downloaded it, uploaded it to their photobucket account, then posted it elsewhere.
At which point Beck saw it there and then posted it here again.
It all comes full circle.

Yeah, you can see the sidestand here (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=11358.msg194540#msg194540).

It really looks like the bikes with the cover caught a nice draft and went sailing into the other bikes.
So, my question is, "Who covers the damage?" Does one claim it against their insurance as a Force Majeure incident or does the facility's insurance pick up the tab?

Yeah, I know. Sometimes I have a hard time suppressing a rosy outlook on the world. :)
So, the moral of the story is not to put a cover on your bike when it's windy & rainy especially if you are parking in a crowd? That's what I get when all is said and done. All of the other bikes are unscathed except those that were downwind of the covered bikes. An afternoon rain has never, ever hurt any bike.

No, I'm pretty sure my S4 caught on fire b/c it got rained on.

Egads. (You are kidding aren't you?) That reminds me of what my wife & I saw last weekend. At a local shopping mall a mommy-soccer van of some type caught fire sitting in the parking lot, burned to the ground and burned off the front of the SUV that was parked in front of it plus it burned off the side of a Lexus parked next to it. Imagine going into a mall, shopping and having a good time in general and coming out to find your car burned and it you had nothing to do with it except for parking it where you did? It all does blow.
The things my nightmares are made of [puke]

lies!! after i wrecked my bike, it was parked outside in the rain and the rain got down into the gauges and shorted out the immobilizer and my bike wouldnt start. so i had to buy a new set of gauges and have a shop reprogram everything for me. im sure i could have done it myself if i had known about the forum at the time.
