I didn't bother with obtaining a race licence this year given my work situation which seems to encroach on everything I try to do on two wheels! I'd like to think I could give it another go in the future (2015....?) but we'll have to wait and see. Still, I managed to reach my post accident 'goal' with my one and only race meet being bloody good craic (even if I did earn my new nickname and bend the SV a bit!  ). M.  |

There's a rather mean Kwak in that garage of yours that would put one hell of a grin on your face at the odd national.....  ! Ever thought about sidecars? I'd be up for a bit of passenger duty...........as long as I could hang on! M. |

We'll sidecars that's an idea ?
Think flipper may be a thing of the past.
The little SV is getting a makeover, have bought a set of Rizzla GSXR road fairings for it, new twin high level exhaust and a lot of other little bits to put it back on the road, no interest in them as a race bike a bit old now ER6's seam to be the twin of choice but hopefully as a road bike it will sell better
Thinking about the maybe putting the Zx10 back on the road as well if it does not sell as a track bike

Happy for you to what you think's best with the Kwak mate and I can't see you having much of a problem selling the SV - just don't let anyone know I was off on it!  Interested in sidecars? Well, how about a road legal one to let us get started and practice on the roads around home legally!? Here's the best bit - check out where it's currently being sold from: Road Legal Sidecar For SaleIt would be worth just taking a look at it for interest sake alone. Can't say I've see it around (then I'm not about much) or even heard anyone talking about it? M.

Think I have enough ֛bits lying about to build a sidecar outfit. I was looking at some sidecar race outfits they are not cheap and I don't think there is a big lot of sidecar racing going on over here seams to be mostly in England
But a road legal one would be a good laugh

It would be a laugh all right but probably nothing more. I think they're an expensive business (they seem to be temperamental like classics?) and, as you say, there's no real series for them. Still, making a road legal one would be good craic and I see the guy has a couple of offers so someone's definitely interested. M.
