Posted: 18:10 - 17 Mar 2006 Post subject: Cyprus August 2005 >Hired DR350's |
|
|
Went on holiday to cyprus where my parents have two houses (greedy eh? ((one's for sale)) ) with Phoenix. WE hired two DR350's at £12 a day for 4days, At home at the time I only rode 125's and hold a 33bhp license, though abroad my I could ride anything I could find to hire.
Here are some pictures I took on the last day, I have no idea of mileage as the speedos and odometers were broken (understatement they'd been snapped off lol)
The number plates are red to show all the locals they are hire bikes and they are to aim for us. look at the size though, and perfectly legal!
Only conditions of hire were don't go more than 200miles form the hire shop (yeah right) and that the perthetic little chain and padlock around the derriere of Pho's bike was to be used whenever we left them anywhere ( it was used to chain out jackets and helmets to them )
We did so many fantastic roads but were too busy having fun to stop and take photos,
we also came across a tree smack in the middle of the road which had been left instead of cut down, was just after a hairpin so no real danger of hitting it,
Highlights were :
leading up to the mountains I saw a black pipe in the road... as I got closer the black pipe turned out to be a snake which upon realising this I did a girly scream followed by going behind it, to which it responded to by coiling towards me as I passed (and NO I didn't stop to take a photo!)
getting to a sleepy mountain village early in the morning, turning bike off, drink etc, get ready to go and.... ignition on.. horn is stuck on ... sleepy village finds itself rudely awoken, the Echo was fantastic through the mountains, *ignition off quickly!* check button..fine.. turn ignition back on BEEEEPPP.. ignition off.
locals hang out of window yelling abuse in cypriot, Alex disconnects horn, we continue.
Phoenix's funky wheely where he lost his peg and sorta went all squiggly and then landed the wheely..fantastic and I got it on video!
I'm sure Pho has more pictures so you can bug him to upload them.
Hope you enjoy, I sure did.

The main road from Ayai Napa to Paphos is amazing can't wait to get back out there, although I've yet to hire a bike out there, I did hire a Vitara. Still hopefully in June I shall be back out there I'm hoping to move out there in the next couple of years, the Ninja is coming with me of course. ____________________ Ride with the music! |

I've got an appartment out there, just hasn't been built yet I bought off-plan it was well cheap, should be ready end of this year I liked Ayia Napa, nightlife was good although it wasn't jam packed because it was only May, but it's so friendly, made some good friends while I was out there. Mountains are nice tho' getting lost round Troodos excellent fun must visit Nicosia next time I'm out there and go to a couple of clubs there. Oh dear roll on June ____________________ Ride with the music! |

Ahh be wary of buying of plans, especially from Aristo Developers, unless you have a signed copy of the plans they will change and swap whatever the hell they like and screw you over ____________________ Insta - FemFeral |

Ooooh I don't really do water, I had a 3 operations back in May 03 so my swimming ability now is very limited (never been a great swimmer) but I did force myself to do a bit of swimming in Zante last year! All I wanna do is get out there with my Ninja and get caught speeding on the main road that runs the width of the Island. I do like Cyprus tho' the people the sun ____________________ Ride with the music! |

I saw a lovely R1 near where we were staying, a couple of years ago some of the cars used to cruise round by the bars Sylines, Toyotas etc but they've stopped that now. Plenty of blokes on superbikes popping wheelies tho' on the road down to Liminaki beach, made me cringe when all they were wearing were flip flops and t shirts - ouch ____________________ Ride with the music! |

said his son came off his bike a week or two ago,
was he wearing a helmet?
yes, on his elbow, broke his arm and fractured his skull

I think cyprus is a bit small to live there long term, though when parents move out there am hoping to spend most my holidays there, as dad's promised to get me road legal dirt bike over there.
want's a jet ski too
flight's a bizatch tho, it's almost the furthest you can go short haul. upto 5hours, shortest flight ive had was 4h15m.

I kinda guessed you had a GPZ, I've just sold mine, that was restricted too, got a ninja now as you probably guessed from previous posts. Just need to get out on it a bit more often, if the weathers not too bad tomorrow might have a bit of a blast Definately gonna hire a dirt bike next time we are out there, I even liked the idea of the little cruisers when I was in Zante, but don't tell anyone ____________________ Ride with the music! |
