Those all seem good prices. New or s/hand replacement?

Crikey mate, you forgot to add on the price of your guts the night before

Hope all is going well with the bike mate, if you need a hand with anything give me a shout.

This is what has gone through my mind every trackday that i have done.

All 5 of them

Loads i know

but when your canning it round on your road bike it does make you wonder a bit and holds you back.

Well except for AGE.

£700 trackbike which had the spare rear set hanger with it, which i needed after off.

Just had to pay out for after crash

Timming cover and gasket £10
Clip on's with 6 spare alloy bars £30 with p&p

The rest will live another day and i have got all the time in the world now to sort it. Well 4 weeks

Buy a cheap trackbike, its the way forward

All the best mate and fingers crossed you get it all sorted

At least you're ok though

Did anyone take out trackday insurance?

or even go shares on one ..... two friends at Llandow share the YZF750 - just be honest about your abilities and go in separate groups - hence one out in novice, the other inters - that way all your bills are halved
