Oh, and then I chuck a spare nose fairing and forks and a hammer in too.
Based on several years car and bike racing experience that if I carry it, I won't need it, but if I haven't got it then I will.....

I also carry 2 jerrycans, front and rear paddock stands, toolbox, spare leathers, boots, gloves and helmet, a second set of wheels, clothes and bedding, plenty of food and beer and it barely comes up to window level so there is always room for more beer.

And don't forget spares for me!

enough spares to do this in the paddock Oh and a top female mechanic supervising.

I'm liking the people carrier option with the rear seats pulled out. Being realistic I'm not going to make it this year. I'm still going together a bike and spend the year setting it up and getting some track time under my belt ready to enter in 14. Will probably tag along for some of the meetings and introduce myself and help out if possible where needed. Good luck to all.

im jumping in at the deep end and will hopefully improve as the sea on goes on. i cant imagine me doing that sort of repairs trackside , as my spares are for light spills and not major rebuilds , if it gets to that stage i reckon the bike goes back on the trailer , and i go to the bar
