I don't care - I'm doing it for my kids, my mates, myself and cos I can.
I'm a 42 yr old mum of 3. It doesn't matter to them where I come so long as we all have a bloody good time doing it and myself and my bike come home in one piece.
It's something I wanted to do. I asked them first and they were all for it, they know the risks involved but were way more worried about me denting Max
Besides - they get a kick out of telling their mates that their mum races a Ducati
As for me - I ran in my first ever race and got 5 points in the Championship Table. Not much but i'm happy.
