The perfect example of how not to live your Superbike dream as you could end up in prison
Superbikes are a dream for all two-wheeler fanatics. But not everyone is well off enough to fulfil this dream. So what should you do to get a superbike? Work hard to live the dream or rob a bank to do so?
While most people will prefer the first option, a guy in Vietnam chose the second one and successfully lived his dream of owning a Kawasaki ZX-10R….for a full 24 hours.
Here’s What Happened
A Vietnamese guy named Nguyen robbed Rs 1.15 crore from a bank and fulfilled his dream of owing a Kawasaki ZX-10R
Nguyen Van Nam, a 23-year old in Vietnam, robbed a bank at gunpoint in Hai Phong City on January 7th, 2022, successfully fleeing with 3.5 billion Dong (Rs 1.15 crore). And what’s the first thing he bought with the cash? A brand-new 2022 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R!
Yes, after fleeing with the money, Nguyen got himself a brand-new 2022 Kawasaki ZX-10R just a day after the robbery. Not only this, but he also posted several photos on social media with the bike.
A Twist In The Plot
What he didn’t anticipate, though, was that the bank had CCTV cameras. And on January 9th, 2022, 24 hours of living his superbike dream later, Nguyen was arrested by the police on account of the robbery, with the remaining money and the gun in his possession.
Nguyen was identified with the help of the CCTV footage and was tracked down via his social media posts.
So all in all, our only advice to you would be – don’t take the shortcut to success and if you do so, at least don’t brag about it on social media.
