Road Racing

[Kev L]

Just finishing off reading "That near death thing" a book featuring Connor Cummins, Michael & William Dunlop, John McGuiness, Guy Martin and Milky Quale, along with references to a whole host of other riders, some of whom got to retire, some had retirement forced upon them and some who will forever be part of the roads.
The hardships of the journeyman racers and the enjoyment I have had from watching these guys risking everything just to compete, with little hope of receiving any tinware, got me thinking about helping out in some way.
One of the racers featured started something called the 98 club. He sought sponsorship of £98 from people to help him with costs to make racing an option.
Would it be cool if a group of us all chip in a sum of money, to be agreed between us, and nominate a worthy recipient who would then display VTR1000.Org on their race bike?
Would anyone be interested in this? Don't know if it's a go'er or not but thought I would throw it in the hat as a way of giving something back.

Nice idea

In leiu of the fact there's not a competative class for a firestorm to race in i'd gladly be a recipient of course i'd put my share in too

Do you think vtr1000.org would look good on a Yam XJ600

I know we won't be on the side of a Storm but just thought it might be nice to offer some help to someone trying to succeed racing on the roads.

Nice idea - broke as wombles, but these guys like you say risk all for very little for our enjoyment. Give us a point of interest and reason to meet at meets
