| I really enjoyed being "an owner" this year even if I was not able to ride, and the chaps who borrowed the bike seemed to enjoy racing in DD.
It would be great for the series if there was a bike people could hire to give it a go.
A consideration would be the wear and tear, engines really do want a refresh after a year racing, that's only 8 rounds. I recon you'd have to charge £200 just to cover the wear and tear)
you don't want someone crashing your bike and taking 2 years to find the money to fix it either,
I think the £500 deposit is an answer, but then who would do it? it would mean that someone would have to find about £1000 up front (not including what the hire cost would be) for the weekend, even if they get £500 back it's a lot to find,,,, and then,,,,, they might not get it back.
I like the idea of a price list, maybe £100 deposit and a price list of common repairs to be added to the £100 if they bin it. |
