Superbike Factory Customer Recovers Ducati Hours Before Business Collapse

A customer of Superbike Factory recounts how he recovered his Ducati Streetfighter 848 just hours before the business stopped trading. The customer, who wishes to remain anonymous, had sold his bike to We Buy Any Bike, part of the Superbike Factory business, but was still waiting for payment when the company's systems went down. He eventually retrieved his bike after a 100-mile dash to the company's Castle Donington site, where he discovered that finance had already been placed on it.
