    What to do?

    Stuffed if Iknow what to do. Mrs Spud has given the thumbs up to spend $1500 on another bike . My problem is i have first option on a restored cb350 four or do I buy a mid pack f3/club bike. Yes the CB is an investment as long as I keep it away from the track (this wont happen). If this happens I intend to stow away the resored tank sidecovers etc and do the caferace thing oooorrrrrr do I have some fun and run mid pack on a late 80's 400cc in club meetings?

    If i go the CB350 direction any ideas on a TT style fairing and tail piece, where do these babys get born?

    Doesn't really matter what you get, you'll still be slow

    Buy a used tank, and drive over the opposition... CB 350 cafe racer would be fun, but cafe racering it will cost a bit mroe than your 1500 methinks... and then if you start bending frames etc, instant extra cost.

    Not as slow as sitting in the pits with a ficked motor, watching us from the pit wall. Wait till you start breeding and well see how many bikes you end up with and how fast they are.
