We don't know what that one is on the far right though?!  [cheeky]


Yeah, we do.

It was another Monster.   ;)

Is that a MHR you were parked next to Mitt?


Yep.

And if you look just to the left of that one, there's another one that's almost identical.

Those two were together, and there was a third one, also with CF bodywork that wasn't with those two.

Okay, here're my pics.

By the time I got out there, most of the bikes had already been stood back up.

It was a white S4RS that started the dominoes.  The owner picked it up and pushed it away from the rest.  Before the owners got to the bikes a couple of guys stood them back up.  Then when the wind picked back up, they went over a second time.  The Tricolor had the fairing almost completely completely wiped out.  I hope the dude didn't have to ride it home.  I think he had NY tags.
I felt bad for everyone who had their bikes damaged.  They were just too close together and parked with their stands on the uphill side.  Makes me nervous even on a calm day.
That old guy with the Tricolor wasn't afraid to ride it hard either.  That rear tire had the rubber on the corners balled up pretty good.

the parking was regulated by IMS (how do i know ? i got to park some that day) they told the staff to park West to East instead of facing north (uphill)
they wanted the bikes as close together and only like 6ft inbetween the rows they espected more bikes but what you see in the pic thats pretty mutch all the bikes that showed up Sunday.
i was parked 2 rows back and got to my bike after it had happend, they bikes were already up (about made my cry)

some malevolent diety's idea of punishment for initial spottings of the 1098cc Monster is my bet.

There hasn't been a spotting of a 1098cc Monster yet.

edit: now that I think about it, Ducati doesn't even make a 1098cc engine... the 1098 is 1099cc.

There's probably a 1% error in there. So, a 1098 is possible.

Well, if that's the case, 1100 is just as possible.
