on weekend meets you'll be leaving on the Thursday night from home, doing the test day Friday, Racing Sat, Racing Sun, eventually getting home at Midnight on Sunday.....
I think some of you are honestly looking at this with a very blinkered point of view.... You're gonna spend 3 days sitting round in a paddock in nothing but your tent ???
i think i'm gonna give up lads, it seems i'm not getting through LOL |
No - the point is that we're going to do it *our* way which is cheap, fun racing.
You may not see it like that, but that's what we're going to do.
I have no interest in buying tyre warmers, a van, awning (cos I've already got a 14.99 gazebo!), spare wheels and wets, 3 sets of tyres for the series (unless I have too) and the like - it just ain't going to happen.
My bike will be a sub £1500 bike, with minimal mods to get it through the ACU regs - £40 brake lines, £50 catch tray and some ponced lock wire - and the rest will be shelled out as I need and no more.
As somebody rightly said up there ^^ at this level it's not about the bike anyway and so putting a new set of tyres and brake pads in it really isn't going to make the difference for 75% of the grid this season.
If somebody wants to go and buy a newish 620, new tyres, motorhome, wets, genny, etc then good luck to them - but don't expect any sympathy from me if I stuff you with my ShiteOldBike
