wow what a read, weeksy thanks for all your advice a few months ago and now thanks for putting the fire back in my belly !!!!!!!!!
i looked at the title and thought i may find out about acu licence costs and instead got all these arguements about big budgets and small budgets.
now after taking it all into consideration i have worked out that commuting fo5rm cornwall to all the tracks, costs of bike and entry fees, 3 tyres and the bits and i should be able to do it on a budget of £3500 ( inc bike which will be sold on ) so i should expect a loss of £2.5k over the season. im not interested in tyre warmers or generators or anything like that as it doesnt bother me at my first decent bend on the 748 a 1/4mile down the road so whuy worry ona track wheer it will be jam packed at the corner, just a nice sounding set of termi's will do me fine !!!
the main reason i will enter is for the fun,jokes,beer the night before, camaraderie ( spelling ok ? ), the time spent with fellow dscer's oh and the racing too. i know how to ride a bike and confident enough in my own ability not to look stupid on any track but i know i will not win and am not interested in winning, too be honest im looking forward to wearing really garish leathers, a tatty ducati instaed of my 748 and in all honesty i will be on my arse sometime as i doubt i can make any friday practice days.
THE MAiN THING I will need being a novice is any help form you guys when i get there,help getting my chosen beast through the scrutineering and any maechanical help as the hours roll by, im sure that people will all muck in together as thats whats good about the dsc !!!!
this series was started as a fun idea to get people racing and thats the way i'll be treating it,its good honest fun where you can then get home and take the mickey out of each other on here !!!!!!!!
bring it on now i say, got to sell the rvf and then the entry cheques in the post and then ive got to buy myself a bike and i'll be there with you guys.
so who's with me for a beer or 2 then?? august 13 th donington park is my missus birthday so we will be having a little bit of a gathering that night so i'll apologise for the noise from the cornish gazebo now !!!!!!!!!!!
