The End of the CBR600

Image
You may remember I chucked the CBR down the track last year.  Although I broke my arm I thought the bike had escaped serious harm, with just a new brake lever and SHITLOADS of filler and thick black paint to be re-applied... but no.  I've had the front end completely apart and it seems either the OS fork is bent or the yoke is.  I've tried all the alignment tricks but it's way off. As it was probably only worth a few hundred quid in working order, it's beyond economic repair. The insurance has got some months to run yet (and the total policy was only slightly more than the cancellation fee), so it can stay put and at least earn me some NCB.  I may break it, maybe just offload it whole on eBay. That's definitely ended my trackday shenanigans though - I'm not buying all new kit AND another bike too.
