Lovely green. :)

Do you take the indicator/mirrors off when you get there? Is there an equivalent of a daylight MOT in Greeece?

Lights are covered with a plastic cover and ofcourse  mirrors and inficators removed.
Lights are obligatory as day time for motorcycles of all kinds including tricycles here.
And tyres for races are Brighstone DOT10 Race not sown here.

Iphone crashed last evening, all night trying to recover it, believe that might effect photobukcet,  lost pics fm the wedding too.
Guess it's the way that my android tablet hates my iPhone,  and passes me towards a Samsung device.  Will not subcome to this blackmail, even if have to spent another hole night to restore and restart my phone.
Photobukcet on the other hand lost many pics that are now non recoverable fm all devices.

Am sure that cellular  phones are the work of an evil woman , created by her in prder to be able to idenddify and follow at any instant the whereabouts of her man, afterwards become a pain in the neck for the rest of his life.
All good times have now past and will never be returned.

Bollox!

I love technology  ;D

When it works  :(

My old Morris 1000 is probably still going strong! My old Triumph Tigress might also still be cracking ankles with its recalcitrant kick start. My last phone, a crackberry, was reduced to rubble under my 2lb lump hammer so it couldn't inflict so much pain on any other unwary owner!

This afternoon, I took my 6 year old, top-of-the-range, HP laptop to the recycling centre! I put it against the kerb and drove over it to the amazement and applause of the workers there! That bastard thing has let down its last owner!

Hope you wiped the drive first, all my old drives get shredded using an amazing bit of kit we have at one of the Data Centres, think of a paper shredder the size of a small car that you can feed a hard-drive into. And you know what, the manufacturer still says "Practically impossible to recover" :o

Wise words indeed!

The DVD drive is now in a remote caddy and will continue to be used, both hard drives and all the RAM are sitting on my drinks cabinet (oooh, how posh  ::) ) awaiting re-use/destruction.

The last one got bitten by a very large hammer and the shards of the drive that went everywhere either went up the vacuum cleaner, in the dust pan or in the recycling. If anyone can trace that lot they are welcome to it!

Waaay off topic now, but if you do want to give away your kit rather than destroy it, then use this to clean your drive thoroughly:

It's free, but you can donate to them via PayPal.

And back on topic - good luck, Costas!

Last year on last race faced some problems with the rear shock absorber,  we desided to continue with it after rebuild ing it, wrong wrong idea, suspension colapsed and its not the only part that now needs replacement, we have to change chain and sprocket as both were seriusly damaged , it's for all too take in consideration that those two parts are seriously effected by a bad suspension. It all sums up as anlther case where we try to save a couple of euros and end up paying the douple the price for repairs.
Race today went terribly bad, knee still shoare and effected all my left turns, if there was any of the CSS instructors present they would throw me out of school.
Tyres were not even scraped in , they were left with 1 cm on both sides of chichen strips a clear demonstration that I was in a bad bad day.
On lap 12 of 20 suspension collapsed and with it came my retirement.   
So first race big 0. 
All are an easy fix the knee I worry about.

Being a true Greek man, I assume you kneel to pray every night! If so, STOP IT IMMEDIATELY!

From now on, do your prayers standing up or lying down  8)

Will consider your advice,  but being a greek-man will continue until fall down or fall apart.
