Hmmm - take off around £1000 in sponsorship in one form and another and I'd say I haven't done too bad on a ickle monster with 25k on it that I also ride at weekends.

For me its not what i spend it's what i want out of it. Me I gave it a go. I may be last most of the time, but I ain't ever gonna be Rossi anyway and I have got out there and done it. Something I won't ever forget. I also know that I am nowhere near the limits of my bike so there's no point in me wasting money on blinging it up.

After Sunday my bike will be back in road trim for Monday and i'll be out through winter riding like I normally do till season starts next year

To me thats what Desmo Due series means.
