Bike wanted please
 

I've spnet many an hour recently trying to work out what to do , as regards to bike riding and racing and the Desmo series looks like a bit of good fun in the right cost bracket for me so if anyone knows if there's any bikes for sale, or likely to come up for sale please feel free to let me know.

Bit of luck i could be joining you all soon.

:)

well from the above post I guess your a novice and therefore looking at doing Class B on a carb'd 583.

I'm sure there are a few around not being used, just not being advertised at the moment so your bike wanted plea is certainly the way to go.

up until two weeks ago I had one for sale but there has been quite a bit of interest lately.
Not sure if Sarah Jenkins sold hers as she did talk to someone at Snetterton about it.

There are a few cheap road bikes about suitable for conversion, John at Moto Tonti is just about to break the one he picked up last week, ideally but everything but the lighs and standard plastics and yoy'd have a good base to build a race bike from.

Not sure, but this one may be still available

Chris:burn:

I'm sure Shane has sold it.

Yes, i was a little late on that.

Actually i was novice many a year ago but with the demands of life and children i gave up racing about 5 years ago but like most of use you cant just give up can you ?

So , with that in mind and after reading for several weeks the Desmo seems a fun way back into racing ?
The tyre shredding bike bikes that i used to play with a few years ago have no interest any more ( and the children take all my tyre money anyhow ) :lol:

you may want to check eligibility forst, some classes of licence (not sure if it fresets after a while) are excluded from the B class 583 and have tio go in the A 620 - be worth a PM to Skidlids to check before you spend some wedge

nothing out there yet ?


:)

I have one i can prep and will be ready to go for £1200

oooh, ya little sneak :P

novice my arse ;) :p

maybe a 620 class A then ;)

I've not had a license now for.........er 3 if not more years so i'm down from national to intermediate i think . I may even have to have one of those days training ? No worries if i have as it'll help me get back into the swing of things if i ever find i bike

Class A seems a little void of bikes ? I want to have a bit of fun with as many other bikes as poss

we have mixed grids so sure there will always nbe someone to race with, except if you clear off at the front and on the more power circuits ;)

here you go - relevant rules :)

Entrants

Entrants are defined as riders in the series; they must ensure that their machines conform in full to the entry and technical criteria. Team owners or those providing a machine for others to ride do not qualify as entrants; they can however register as an owner and receive information regarding the series.

For the 2011 series, Class B entrants will have to meet the following entry criteria:

a) Clubman and Clubman A licence holders required to wear a Orange vest as of 1st January 2011.
Or
b) Raced in Desmo Due on a 583cc machine in 2010, for 2 or more races.

Those riders within the series who obtain or qualify for a licence above Clubman level will be allowed to stay in the series.

For Class A, Entrants must not have raced above Clubman level within the last 3 years. Unless they were registered in 2009/2010

For the avoidance of doubt, prospective entrants wishing to enter the series for the first time, who are entitled to a licence above Clubman level, but have not elected to collect the necessary signatures, or who have down graded their licence, will have to apply to the Race Committee for ratification prior to having their entry accepted.

General:

Discretion may be shown by the committee towards entrants who do not meet all of these criteria, but who are entering in the spirit of the series. This is to include those applying to join the series after the 1st of February 2011; such applications to be reviewed and ratified by the Race Committee at the earliest opportunity.

Any entrant found to be bringing the series, marque or the Club into disrepute; can at the discretion of the Race Committee have their entry withdrawn following a formal review and endorsement by the Management Team of the Ducati Sporting Club.

These rules will not apply to guest riders, who do not score points. These are defined as people entering for a one off round and are not registered for the whole series.

That seems all fair and above board. I was national spec , but as i said thats gone now and must be down to the next below level ( what ever that is ) I've not raced since a big pile up in the 2005 TT .

Still , this is all irrelevant as i cant find a bike, what ever the class. :)
