So my friend with an STi had to pick up his car from the local Suby yesterday, and I was planning to give him a ride there, but before we head out he says, "Hey this guy at my work is selling a 2000 CBR600 for 3500 bucks." Right when hearing this I was like "Damn can I see it?"

So we go to meet this dude at a a near by Sonic and well, the bike was maybe worth 2k if not less.

Here's the scoop, we pull up and I see this CBR, yellow/black, looks good from about 15-20 feet away, and Im like wow this will be mine.

We park, we get out, and I see this little Filipino dude who is no taller than 5'2 in a black leather jacket and Hawaii-style swim shorts. I kinda laugh but continue to walk towards the bike

So I get up to the bike, and God bless this poor bike.

-He took the seat off because he can't reach the ground.
-The D&D exhaust was rusting along with the shock and brake nuts/bolts.
-It wouldn't start for a good 5 minutes
-It had obviously been down on both sides atleast once.

I ask how many miles are on it and he says "2600" so I get on the bike when he finally gets it started up and it doesn't read 2,600 but 26,000.

I give it a few good revs and was planning to ask to ride it but realized my *** would break without the seat so I get off.

I tell him I will give him a call if "I can get the money together" because I don't want to straight up tell him it's a piece of ****, and he says "okay."

My friend (not knowing much about bikes) tells the dude to "get on it" when he leaves because he has never really heard a 600 GO before...

This is the best part.

The little dude gets on the bike, and says to us, "Hey can you push me backwards I can't reverse myself"

I die, I walk away to keep from laughing at him but my friend pushes him back.

So he starts to drive away and I hear nothing but the rattling and "cranking" of the chain.

I start laughing out loud.

He pulls on the main road and "gets on it," tries to shift into 2nd, burns the clutch, bogs, and drives away.

Bless.

I wish I had a camera on me at the time.

He had like flower shorts on, a HUGEEE HJC helmet, and like a 5 year old's pair of baseball gloves.

Balla on a Budget
