[mat2hew]

I'd rather have a years racing (and about 10k change) those poor soles who waste their money on a new road bike, I've seen the light!

I've had more fun on my £1500 ducati than any other bike (motorbike!) i've ever had.

Ok, here's my 'racing on a shoestring' budget....

Entries £1480 approx. (all rounds except for the last cadwell)
5 test days £475
Bike fuel £150
Fuel for the discovery £500
B & B at 4 rounds £240
2 sets of tyres £320
Trailer hire £300
Repairs £30 ( some glass fibre and a couple of cans of paint)
A few oil changes £60 appx.

So, around £3555 plus licence, membership costs etc.

I did have an engine rebuild and general going over of the bike by baines at the start of the year though... that cost £1300.

I dont belive the amazing photographer line!! But your spot on with the handsome...lol I'll be approaching riders around christmas time or just after so anyone is interested send me your email to gforce-images@live.co.uk and i'll take it from there. I'm happy to chip in for more than one rider, I was going to race myself but i broke my back in a bike accident a couple of years ago and docs said i should'nt race, But i still wanna be around racing and this seems the best option.
