[fil2]

god knows where u lot get your figures from................

Cost of a front running class A bike is no less than 3k..........( some as much as 5k .! )

7 meetings at average 140 entry = £980

1 meeting assen = with fuel accomodation and entry + trackday £ 300

2 sets tyres = £300

Fuel for bike and van/car = £600

Trackdays practise average 3 with fuel etc = £700

Now add in the crash damadge the uprgades say = £350

Thats over 6K for one season and thats being conservative as i know peeps that do alot more than 3 track days and run more than 2 sets of tyres...and have spent alot omore on bikes etc etc........

6k............

dont kid yourselves

Exactly why im not gonna be Racing at Snetterton....................

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
