Said goodbye to my, faithful, old CBR600F2 today.
Sold it to my mate Boris, who roared off down the road on it, at lunch time!

Despite looking like a heap of crap, missing fairing, mismatched panels, bodgetastic repairs, and having done about 50k miles, the old trout still pulled like a goodun and made a lovely sound.

It's given me 4 years of smiles, it's not bad for a 21 year old, but I'm going bike shopping at the weekend! Mr. Green

Anyway, here's a few warts and all piccy's, feel free to rip it apart in the usual BCF style! Karma

That wooden bit, was a, prototype, camera mount, It worked rather well:-

I was going to remake it in plastic and perspex. Unfortunately I left it on over winter, hence the warpedness!!

You can't beat a bit of sub-frame incongruity! Mr. Green

Not sure where it had been, before I got it.

Drawing my max cash, of 300 euro per day!
Some of the capital controls have been relaxed, managed to get a few K's out in cash, and transfer some out of the country!

The Cypriot parliament is voting soon on whether or not to accept the bailout, that should be fun if they turn it down, I could be a CY Pound millionaire overnight! Laughing But then again a bottle of Keo will cost 100 CY Pounds!!!!

As to the licence thing, they are only just catching up with EU directives on the matter.
Plenty of unlicensed, 12 and 13 year old ped bois around! Rolling Eyes

well at least you don't have to buy toilet paper anymore.

They should do what zimabwe did. Only print 1 side of the note. that way you don't have to get ink on your arse when when you wipe your bum with a 1 gazillion trillion pound note.

Watch this space!

My employer was somewhat tardy in coming up with last months wages, but eventually stumped up a few cheques, consequently I quit!
I'm now doing what all other expats do over here, which is precisely fook all, interspersed with drawing cash from the ATM, on a daily basis! Mr. Green
