    Too be honest,i Haven't got any spare cash to go racing or i'd already be doing it! :'(
    As for the racing/track day analogy,totally agree mate!

    Glad you agree with something I say dude ;D And you're right, I do struggle with respect ;D

    You mustn't automatically assume that you are better than me just because you can beat me on the road though sweety, after all, you are a racing wannabe and I am not

    I did half a season on my Ducati before cash stopped play, with a best postion of 11th and I came 17th in the championship out of 30 odd.
    I could have done better on a 400 simply because there are more novices to play with in that class (there were only 3 or 4 in my class at the time), but I used the bike I already had rather than spending out getting another.

    That is the thing, racing only needs to cost what you want it to, there's no need to spend thousands, especially in a novice season.
    You already have tyre warmers, and probably a genny, all you really need on top of that is a van (to sleep in ) The rest of it is just icing on the cake.

    Nothing I have ever done since (apart from maybe hanging off the ramp of a Hercules in flight or wingwalking) has had the same buzz as waiting on that grid had!


    And yes, I will have my own crosser soon so being a pussy will not be an option

    That ‘Rocket’ Ron Haslam recently lapped the Donnington Park GP circuit in 2m 30.1s on a standard Honda CBR125R,just over 3 secs slower than one of his race school CBR600RRs. Who needs 1000cc’s?

    Yes yes we all know in the real world a 600 will do and offer everything we can handle, but there really is no comprimise for CC's....

    That's ok, I've got big shoulders. I'm well past the point where I have anything to prove, to anyone, other than myself. It's Lee you need to beat, not me 8-)

    I have a theory ref. engine size too, but I'm too tired to bore you all with it just now.

    Nighty night
