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

All 5 of them :roll: Loads i know :lol: 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

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 8)
