    Long shot I know but mate looking for one of these - either a lightly bashed up road bike or existing track bike.

    He is a bike mechanic so can sort stuff, but also spot a dog a mile off !

    He has an earlier SRAD GSXR to sell first or trade in

    Theres a few on eBay Al, I know it's a serious case of buyer beware on there, I'm certainly no expert on the subject, but I'm sure your mate can sort the wheat from the chaff.

    His current bike would be perfect for you Gary - no faults at all and fully sorted - he does not want daft money for it either

    Without hijacking your thread Al, I was only talking to Steve earlier in the week, something I am definiatly perusing, the matter was wether or not I'd perhaps missed the boat for this season? The bikes seem to increase a little more this time of year? And what with Scotland and my trip to Europe plus my family holiday commitments it only gives me 4 days other than rostered days off to get out and gel with the blade, and would a track bike just be sat in the garage until next year? Or would I forfiet my time on the road "except my trips" and go have some fun at Oulton Park etc?
    All that said Al, if the package was right for me? perhaps I should act sooner rather than later.
    So if you could, at your convinience pass a little more info and perhaps a figure I can discuss this further with MrsB. :)

    My track bike sat in the shed for almost 2 years and never moved - and in that time it lost zero value - I am lucky I picked up a rare / sought after bike in the 750 K5 - I paid £2,500 and folk reckon its worth c.£1,750 - £2k without trying and its been used a fair bit since being brought back to life!

    Will send you personal message - you are welcome to use 'The Fridge' on Friday at Donny if you book in novice
