Right, this is your worst nightmare.
You come home from an honest days work and notice the garden gate is open, 'bloody window cleaners'. But it's not. Some thieving scum has broken into your garage, ignored your alarm, cut through your ground anchor and your bike is gone.
But this is no ordinary bike. It's the bike you have owned and developed from an 851 roadbike to a 955 racebike. A bike you know every single part of. A bike that is so recogniseable within the Ducati community that as soon as anyone trys to sell or break for parts will be instantly spotted.
This bike was stolen from a friend's garage in the Durham area on Friday in broad daylight.
If anyone out there is offered or spots anything to do with this bike please pm me with the information.
In the meantime review your security, you could be next !

It's a mate's bike.
He's an engineer by trade and believe me, the security was top of the range they must have used a grinder on the locks.

The insurance has gone through in part.
The bike had an agreed value of £9k but so far they have only paid out £7.5
Thanks to everyone who has viewed the post but it looks like the thieving scum have broken it or have it locked away somewhere.
I'll post any further developements.

Thanks Simon.
How's it going, still got the Griff ?
Must admit I miss mine and get a bit of a twinge every time I see one. They do seem like good value these days although we took an M3 to the TT this year and was impressed with the performance for the price. ( pulled a steady 150 over the mountain 3 up ).
Take it easy mate. Hopefully we are back to Le Mans next year beer

New project is going to look a lot like this
