Obviously test rides require more than helmets.

I never trusted twist-N-go types - they're twisted.

Very cool how the neighborhood came to lend a hand.  Just another good reason to be located near a pub.  Cracking peanuts gets oh so tiresome.

Certainly a brazen attempt.  One wouldn't normally associate scooter dudes as Ducati types.

Definitely smash and grab dinks - I'm surprised that they persisted like they did.  If they had tried to do this at the local H-D dealer over here, they would likely have been 2-3 of them dead in the parking lot and some more in the hospital suffering from lead poisoning.


I hope that the management of the store get those stalwart employees extra benefits for preventing the theft.
