F3 race bike hire

[FROSTY]

My SV650 is currently sitting in a workshop gathering dust.
It seems a shame to have it go to waste.
I'm thinking it would be a good idea to rent it out on a meeting by meeting-trackday by trackday basis.
Would anybody be interested ?

it depends on what the terms are regarding any damage?

easy--you fuck it you fix it

so it wouldnt be any different to me taking my own bike out? apart from the fact that i dont have to hire my own bike.

getting some sort of insurance, and aplying a bond would make it more apealing.

[FROSTY]

cool --hey I'm thinking of people might wanna have a crack at F3 or might not wanna wad their roadie.
Its just an idea Im floating is all --seems a waste it sitting there
Guess the alternative is to sell it I guess

[enigma51]

I will give you $2.50 for it and if i could can i pay it off weekly

[forkoil]

Chris of Queen St motorcycles is doing a similar thing but in conjunction with his own trackday venture, he is hiring a VFR400 track bike on a per trackday basis. Dont know what his results are with it?

[skelstar]

Just do it, you have nothing to lose FROSTY. Just make sure you cover yourself in terms of official 'agreements' etc.

I could be keen to do the puke round of the Nationals. What tyres are on it? Condition?

[robertydog]

Will you deliver to the track?

I raise you and offer $3.00

I reckon it would be quite popular if you some how got insurance for it. Probabaly wont get insurance for Race days' but should do for a track day.

It's an appealing idea Frosty. I'd love to do some timed laps on a race bike that was set up well. Not to go crazy-quick-crash but just to settle into a rythm and see what it takes to be smooth and fast.

As you say, one is a tad reluctant to try much on the beloved road bike.

[scott411]

what sort of price you loking at??

Just make sure you get it with the countersteering setup fitted....

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Does it have USD's?

[Tony.OK]

Being that its a Suzuki,do ya have to pay for the bits that fall off while its being ridden?:bleh:

[Hoon]

Sounds like a great idea Frosty.
It'd be appealing to the new people that don't have a race bike and want to jump straight in without all the hassle of sorting a bike. Damn I'm even tempted to give it a crack just to try an SV.

The fear/expense of crashing is something that all racers (except the sponsored ones) have to bear. If you are poor and can't afford to fix a bike you've crashed then racing is not for you.

[Hoon]

In saying that there are different levels of fixing crash damage. My crashes on average come to <$100 each. Bits of fairing might break off and bars, levers,pegs may need repairing/replacing. I'll only fix the necessities and maybe once every 2-3 years I'll replace/repair/repaint the fairings which I'll get a good 5+ crashes out of and Frosty being the good guy he is I'm sure will be very reasonable.

It could get expensive if you were unlucky enough to break forks/rims/frames etc but thats pretty hard to do especially in F3.

[Mental Trousers]

I'm actually looking at hiring a bike sometime to do some track days and a little bit of racing on.

[CHOPPA]

it sounds really interesting... what are some specs on the bike?
