Always treat a stack as an opportunity to take up racing.

no good about the road bike, but a good bonus on the track bike

Check out Hartwell MCC, I know they do a Forgotten Era class (up to 1979 in Vic, 1980 for the rest of Oz) _ I remember Strika mentioning something about the equivalent to NE2 in Vic, can't remember what it was called.........but it wasn't New Era....

Period 5 - Forgotten Era - 1972 to 1980
Period 6 - New Era 1 - 1981 to 1990
Period 7 - New Era 2 - 1991 to 1995.

Paramedics on stand-by!!!!

And a lack of roadside furniture and trees to crash into!

I did give it a lot of thought, and with a couple of young kids I thought... it was a bit self indulgent having the roadie.... almost $2k a year prior to even riding it..... with insurance and rego..... I will definitely get another roadie at a later date.... when I get into the uber cheap insurance because I am old

Exactery.

I figure in vic right

For a decent bike

$500 py rego
$320 per set of tyres (dep on how much you ride, how sticky, sometimes 4 x sets a year)
$1400 (thats what i was paying on the 7 insurance wise)
$18 x 130 (how many times i would roughly be filling up a year, commuting) = $2340
= $4560 without servicing and one set of tyres a year alone upkeep

Track bike

$200 a track day or there abouts (whenever you want
$120 for a family worth of ambulance cover
And if you can't afford it, you dont have to ride it!!!!
+ tyres
+ fuel

THe other thing is I'd probably be doing a similar number of track days on my road bike as I will on the track bike also......

All that being said.... I can't wait to get another nice road bike

IT will happen..... just have to be patient!
