winter coming closer
I ride my bike less and less often, and I find I'm not having as much fun as I used to have, when I ride on public roads. During the winter, I can ponder my options for next year:- go overboard, buy brand new '07 RR. It sure looks nice!
- sell the old bike, buy a used RR, buy better gear. If I do this, I would probably ride the bike exclusively on the race track. If I ride it at the street too, I feel it's not worth the risk of putting her down.
- buy RR, buy helmet, keep old Hurricane. The RR would be for racetrack, the Hurricane is plenty fast on public roads. Most expensive option, but I'm not missing out on anything. Then again: how much would I miss public roads?
- don't buy RR, keep Hurricane, buy some gear. Cheapest option, and it'll still be possible for me to change my mind. Hurray for keeping your options open! Extra advantage: this is cheap enough so I'll be able to afford a few extra trackdays. Possible problem: after a few trackdays, I might get fed up about the lack of ground clearance. It was pretty bad on Folembray, it'll probably get worse as I go faster.
