VMCC ROUND 4
Well another round behind us, VMCC Round 3 to be precise and it just seems to be a never ending money eating business this racing lark, ya might as well be stuffing $50’s into a meat grinder especially if your crasher from way back lol.
If you want to be semi competitive a good second hand last years nationals machine might set you back around 12K to 15k then there’s the spares like levers, clipons, rims fairings, rear sets another 3k, then there’s support gear like leathers, ...

Pondering the scraps and leftovers of VMCC Winter Series Round 2 Manfield Long Track, I was left feeling somewhat empty and disappointed with my performance.
I find race meets to be an emotional roller coaster for myself and most of my racing acquaintances for instance, do you remember the face of the guy that was faster than you the first time you bested him, do you remember how it felt when someone that was slower than you all of a sudden passes you and pulls away and there’s not a thing ...

Just let me start by saying im an older rider by many racers point of view and considered still a young one by a few others, at 40 years of age married with three kids ill let you form your own conclusion.

I really hate driving down the road only to have some beautiful red Porsce Carrera pull up next to me with a geriatric Abe Simpson type charactor sitting ...
