You have to be passionate about bikes to spend $140,000 to buy a Ducati 1198RS Superbike and a Ducati 1098R just to use the frame and side and upper fairings to make it street legal, and then take it for a spin on southern California’s famous Mulholland Highway and get caught on camera as you embarassingly bin it.
The bike may be a crying mess, but this guy is lucky as hell, because if something similar happened in Italy, France or Spain with our guillotine style guard rails you’d would be picking up pieces of him instead of the Ducati.
