WTF does it mean, "It's too nice to be used"?

Pretty sure that wouldn't happen with my Buell...

Every time that someone asks about this, it reminds me of my first racing school at which something very similar happened. Rather that using their own bikes, two guys from Montreal arrived with their pristine, track prepped Ducatis on a trailer. I think that they were 900SS/SP, but I'm not sure. They were certainly brand new. The day went something like this.

8:30am-9:30am - class
9:30am-10:30am - follow the leader with the instructors
10:30am-10:40am - open lapping begins and the two Ducatis are cartwheeling into the weeds, within 3 laps
10:40am-5:00pm - the rest of the on-track class

It certainly made for an interesting first on-track experience.
