Hi all! Bought my first Monster (2010 696) back in April, and then in July, the following happened:
Ducati Monster kicked over.....$4k damage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgQgcSP3iFU#normal)
Hard to watch I know. Best I can tell is that somebody kicks the rear tire, shifting the bike to the right, then, unsatisfied, they walk around and kick the bike over. I was at a concert while this happened, and I have the Scorpio R-1100 alarm so my phone lit up with about 8 text messages......"perimeter alarm", "perimeter alarm", "shock alarm", "shock alarm"......."tilt alarm"......
Never caught the guy, and $4k later (and two months) my baby is back to health.... new handlebar, mirror, right tank cover, new exhaust (upgraded to termis, was only $200 more to get the slip ons as opposed to replacing ONE stock can!), heat shields, brake pedal, etc, etc, etc.
At least now I know exactly "what the camera sees" so I know where to park the Duc the next time!! Still upset I never caught the guy.....and he better pray I never do! :)
Glad to have my bike back and be apart of the board!
