Wave goodbye to the CBR.

The right person at the right time made the right offer on my bike. It’s time to temporarily pause being a nut on two wheels. After riding a brand new sport bike for a year and a half I can say it is one of the most exciting, dangerous, stupid, and mind blowing things I have ever done. Riding a bike that rolls in excess of 160mph, apreciates balancing on one wheel, and lets you eat up the twistes at 3 times the suggested speed limit has been overwhelming to say the least. I know a year isn’t a long time to own a hot sport bike but it’s been awesome. It has been an un-replicable and irreplaceable experience.

Now to reminisce on some pictures.

I’m detailing the crap out of it the morning after I spent almost all night working on it’s first mods.

The day it was brought back to me completly painted infront of Stubby, the awsome friend who painted it for me.

It beconed me to do wheelies. I got interestingly good quick.

I even get to keep my tank plastic. Heck yeah.

I do have to say that the best part of the deal is that the new owner is a good friend of mine and will let me enjoy a couple rides here and there. I can’t wait to see what he does with it. I will follow up with pictures =)
