I have at the ripe old age of 57 signed up to compete in the 2019 Pro-Stocks Suzuki Bandit Challenge Motorcycle road race series.

This is the cheapest end of the clubman racing series as the bikes are 'stock' Suzuki 600 Bandits, very little modification is allowed. That said it is an 8 round series where I will cover some 2800 miles just getting there. I estimate that it will cost in the region of £6000 to compete next year, at present I don't have funds to do all of the rounds so am trying to generate 25% of the costs via this funding page.

First ride on my race bike was at Brands Hatch on 24th Feb, I went out in the fast group with all sorts of superior machinery but got a good days testing in, on board camera footage link below;

I am trying to raise some money towards the cost of racing for the season, target is £1500 which would buy tyres & some spares for the season, but anything would be a massive help.

I have been encouraged by members of The Triumph Forum which I have belonged to for a while to set up this funding page so they can help.

You can follow my progress at the Forum on the below link, thanks for looking.
