Damn!!!
 
Sorry for the rant guys, but i'm mad!!! :mad:
Especially with myself, since i knew this was going to happen sooner or later.

It goes like this....... in this last years i've always had 2 or 3 bikes, being one of them a track bike.
In the end of 2003 i sold my R6 (my track bike at the time) thinking i would be happy with "only" 2 bikes and that i would use one of my street bikes on the track for 2004.
Well.......... as i went for the first race of the 2004 season just to watch and see my friends there, i knew i would have to get another track bike. So, i got a new CBR 600RR and all the mods to turn her into a track bike.
But i only did one race with her and sold it to get the MV. :frog:
I had a big crash and the MV is a salvage now :( (long story short..... the accident was not my fault but i'll have to go to court to claim what's mine, so it will take a long time.... :mad:).
Then i got the 999R, but it's my only bike now (well i have the MV, but i won't touch it until i know what's going to happen with the insurance company / court file).
This last weekends i went to the races here and in the last one we had a track day..... needless to say that the little :devil: called racing striked again and now i NEED a track bike again. And what's worse..... i want a Ducati track bike (something i always tell people not to get, because it's too expensive, and i always advice getting a 600cc jap for the track)
I would LOVE to take the 999R to the track (where it belong really), but i'm too chicken **** to risk crashing her :rodent:

Rant over... :burn:

You said it mate - it's where it belongs!

Get some race bodywork and have a giggle.

Cheers!

:lol:

Lily never misses her cue :D

But, I think a 748R would be a very good track bike. Of course if you bought Lily's the first thing you'd need to do is finish painting it - it's only got the yellow undercoat you see.

:frog:

As far as I know, my friend of mine still has his CBR6RR trackday bike up for sale. Let me know if you're interested & I'll call him to confirm. He's looking for £5k.

hmm...very nice but you could have a 748r for almost the same price.... :P
