Well, baring in mind I haven't had to build a bike, and I already had everything I needed (kit wise etc) my budget is between £3000 - £4000 depending on crash damage, and not including memberships etc.

Sorry if the image is large...

Well put Dom, those look pretty similar to mine, except we have double the bike petrol costs. (mind you, we didnt half use a lot earleir this year, tho not as much as expected at Oulton tho)
We dont keep a full log of spares costs, cos as you know AK carries a few about anyway, but we also have an 'emergency slush fund' of about £300 for any other bits needed quickly.

Fil, I think many others forget all the 'consumable' costs.
I'm just happy that the riders pay their entries & TD costs

I live in the far north. Brands in 300+ miles
Pembrey is 400+ miles.
Lydden is 350 miles.

These are each way. I strictly keep my speedo at 60mph to save fuel and cos I'm on my own.

I probably travel further than anyone on a regular basis. Last year I travelled as far north as Knockhill and down to Pembrey - only missing the Brands MRO round due to illness.


.....in fact looking at it again I think I am under-budgeting my diesel costs Oh joy! More expense! I'll allow £1000 then.
