Woooo. A New Idea.

Post by Yorick »

Bringing the bike over from home costs a bit. Then loads of hotels to fit in with the ferry timetables. Then messing about worrying about tyres etc
Portimao last year cost about 3,000 coz of ferries and 10 hotel nights.

This trip is still adding up and will top that
It probably costs me 100€ a day in fuel and tyres. Another 100€ a night hotel

500 ferry fees.

Found a place that hires and supplies GSXR1000s track ready.

600€ a day. Add on 200 for event and 800€ a day makes sense.
Only need a few nights hotel. And flights are 20 or 30 each way.

Hmm. Gonna look at this malarkey

I’d be looking at their accident repair costs. I know nobody ever crashes on these Track Day Races.
A mate got stung hiring a Bike for a day at Phillip Island. A small off cost him an arm and most of his leg. In the large print of the small print it stated cost would be to replace with genuine parts.

I think I'll be booking Motorland Aragon when I get home. I was a bit worried about it raining if I pay out so much upfront.
They said I'd get the bike hire fee refunded if I didn't ride.

Woo woo. Big wall here I come :D
