| cheers boys
first favour i need then is ::
does anybody want a rvf400 and quick, its going to ebay this afternoon so we'll see what happens
its good to see taht theres people still wanting to do it just for the sake of saying that they have raced motorcycles and not worried about winning/tuning/warmers and all that posh stuff. lets just race and have fun, im actually looking forward to seeing how much i can push a bike as im not worried about picking it up out of the gravel trap as that will be rather fun
i reckon 1 set of tyres will be plenty, i mean its 2 6 lap races a day at about 2.5miles a lapmax which is about 30 miles a day multiplied by 6 meetings is only 200 miles max !! and im probably going to go with pirelli dragon evo's as the 2003 tyres will be alot cheaper than a 2005 diabblo set and will last just as long on a 600 monster !!!
in case your wondering this is my rough budget :
£1500 bike ( inc cans/pegs ) resell afterwards !!!
£700 entry fees
£300 fuel to meetings from cornwall
£100 acu licence and school day
£50 new era membership
£200 1 peice suit ( cheap nasty garrish j&p suit )
£50 medical
£150 tyres inc fitting
£40 oil change
£50 belly pan
£50 new belts
£40 brake lines
£15 new gazebo
£ transponder hire
£20 new brake pads
£3265 not inc transponder hire
£2000 for the season after bike sale, thats not bad for a first seasons racing
im not including petrol for the races as i would be out riding around using up £25 on a sunday anyway, food and drink isnt included as i'll be saving money by drinking tinnies at £10 a crate instead of £40 in the pub on saturday night so thats cash saved so by actually going racing i will be kind of saving money ( hee hee ) so who says racings costly.
hope this helps you all out
