  1. You wouldn't want that mate, it's no good for you, :biggrin:
     
  2. It's not a pretty bike IMO. And £35k? That's more than the whole of Pontefract is worth. :rolleyes:
     
  3. Thats alot of money. Would make a great little track weapon for the rich thou :wink:
     
  4. One of my "dream" bikes :upyeah: Oh how I wish I could win Lotto :rolleyes: :mad: :biggrin:
     
  5. 25k will be closer to the mark, no?

    looks like some 35 k parts have been exchanged for cheaper versions ( M4 instead of P4 calipers etc) ? or am i mistaken?

  6. That's the terrible thing about track bikes.

    Do you

    (a) build the ultimate weapon which far exceeds your abilities (but you can make it up on the straights) and which will be the envy of all others until they snigger when you throw it in the gravel trap

    or

    (b) do it cheap and cheerful and not shed too many tears when it does visit the gravel trap (which it will...)?

    I'd be so worried taking 35 large around a track that I'd instantly be 10 seconds slower.
     
  7. oh yes...

    some things you shouldn't do with money you can't afford to loose.. i guess tracking a bike is one of them.. :)
    i'm byond the point that i have to be the fastest guy out there. i know i'll never be... but the machine should allow me to be the fastest i can be...

    and when sitting in the paddock, i should be able to look at it for hours... :)
