Very interesting thread with some cracking responses.

As someone towards the bottom of the income ladder I have to say I disagree with the envy comments. If someone has worked for the money then good on them, if its been gifted to them then, thats just the luck of the draw.

I must admit it does sadden me a little when I think that there will probably never be a 999R etc in my garage but there again, unless I win the lottery riding a bike worth THAT much money would scare me everytime I tried to park it up - especially in the north east!!!

I take comfort that one of my dreams has been achieved and I have a shiney (but old) red Ducati in the garage - next points - I prefer to know as much about my bike as possible for when the damn thing (inevitably) breaks down. I'll do as much as I possibly can - then I might have to go to a specialist etc. I do find a certain satisfaction in knowing almost every nut, bolt and crazy modification on my bike.

DemsoDue - Isnt it just about the thrill of trying your hand at racing? To be able to say you were on the start line with 30 other racers at Cadwell park!!!

If anyone is going out there to win at all costs(!) I hope that they are in
the wrong series.

Where did my soapbox go?

Cheers - Frank
