Question What to do.....Class B, Class A..?
I've very kindly been given Mong between Couch and my Dad, so now I'm in a dilemma. It's a good dilemma mind

Do I keep the 583, spend another £500 or so getting her refreshed and prettied up and stick to what I know next season, or sell her, spend the pennies on bits for Mong and have another year learning a new bike?

I love the 583, but I'll never get the money back that I would spend on her this winter if I keep her. I do know it well and I feel I can get loads better on her. If I go 620s I'll be finishing real low in the field, but learning the bike for another attack in 2008.

Sort of thinking I'm afraid to go away from the 583 just yet!

You could run both bikes with a bit of luck, help to get the gird numbers up.

I honestly don't think we'll have two grids next year. I hope I'm wrong I don't think we can fit three bikes in the van either!

Stay with us and forget about the money bit otherwise you shouldn't be racing

Less mods allowed in 583 = closer bikes = better fun

I'm glad that I've done a 2nd year on a carbed bike as it does take a different riding style to the more "point and squirt" of more powerful bikes.
Hopefully next year this will be useful when I join the "point and squirt" brigade.......

lol.

lucie go for 620. you'll beat more than you think, your riding will improve more especially if as expected there are combined grids as you wil be having great scraps with the top 583 riders.
