No matter how good it looks it wont help pay for repairs.
This is the dilemma, I have faith in my own ability but none in other people on the track after my last race meeting. When some moron crashes into you then doesn't even have the balls to come and say sorry, it's pretty sad.
Quite the opposite actually...
That is a risk you run but you can avoid those situations 90% of the time
Racing is racing, you might be a big tough guy off the track but that little dude can do a lot more damage to you on the track! Not that anyone thats serious about racing has that mentality

Was no doubt it being his bad.
His first time out on his brand new SV in F3 practice(post classics rider from way back). I had just done the Posties practice and went straight out again at the back of the F3 feild for some more laps. Saw this SV trying to keep up with the Motard in front of him. Was when there was a big tyre wall chicane just before the back straight on track2. Well he saw the tyres, panicked, grabbed a handfull of front brake and did a huge stoppie into the tyres. His bike bounced off and took my bike out from underneath me. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and accept that.
That was the last round of the PMCC summer series in April '07. Havn't raced since but with Shaun's generous help getting my little racer back in running order I hope to get out there again real soon.
Have toyed with the idea of leasing a bike but there's that nagging doubt about being taken out again and not exactly being in a financial position to pay for repairs puts me off.
In saying that, this bike leasing idea sounds perfect for young racers to learn and make a name for themselves. It has huge potential!
