An EICMA 2017 OOOOOoooops!

Looks like someone messed up.  Someone got off the bike and didn't make sure the kickstand was down. :embarassed:

If it was the model that knocked it over, I think as punishment, she should be sent here to work as my assistant for a few months.  :grin:

Why?  Do you need help knocking your bikes over?

She's from the entitled "Millennium" group.  You don't want her.  :grin:

Ah yes...the obligatory "It wasn't me" hand gesture.

Well, if you notice the red laser picked up by the camera in the foreground, that is a light curtain most likely hooked up to an alarm so not likely a spectator did it.  And seeing that she was probably the only person on the stage, must have still been someone else.   :shocked:

 Dollars to donuts her significant other says "  Oh just hop up there and I'll get your picture, it's ok". Note the other guy with a camera and his foot on the stage.
    Snowflakes is my guess. :grin:

Bike shouldn't be there on the prop stand, somebody could have been hurt if it fell off the podium.

With that pricey of a bike and all the looky loo's, a Ducati rep. should have been monitoring it for security.  The general public is in vs. just the businesses, the need for security would be higher.
