Good job they didn't give me that advice when I fractured and crushed a few Vertabrae otherwise I would have missed out on 12 years of Good Fun

I'd be happy just being part of the team. I'd leave all decisions to the team all i want is my webite on the side of the bikes. I'll be happy to stump up a good bit towards costs, Tyres n fuel that sort of thing. Thats something i'll have to chat with them about. Its the first time i've ever done anything like this so any advice would be greatfully received.

Cheers bud!!


I've thrown a bit more the £60 in over the last few years & not been treated like a god, mind you I did get a kiss of Otei at Cadwell:eek: "O" & a trophy for my efforts thanks Tim.

Be great to see a bit more support for some of the needy riders:)

Its not so much the bone damage, The nerve damage means my right leg and my back has quite bad spasms and bouts of numbness that makes it hard to even drive some times. So racing would be out of the question at the min. I'm only 30 so there's time yet docs say it might get better. The moment it does i'll be sighning up..Trust me.

I love racing and this is the best way i can get involved at the min. I'm happy to put in a couple of grand next year but dont want whoever i get involved with to see me as a cash machine.

Like to bargain eh?

make it £70 and I'll get the throne made and gold leafed this week......oh mighty lord.

As for spasms and bouts of numbness, Chas has made that part of his paddock routine...mainly after 2 bottles of red though!:lol:

The badger looks very baron logo wise so I'd be happy to put a sticker or 2 on my bike in exchange for a few photos.
