They normally come in pairs and there's two right there.

Just to make you feel better Simon I can tell you that for various reasons I am doing six rounds in the South West to qualify Matt & James for the Brits.  That's a minimum 400 mile round trip x 6.  In a van doing say 40mpg on diesel.  You do the maths.    Plus accommodation and cost of new race bikes for 2009.  Ah, well it's cheap!!    Humps

Si

I cant believe that as the sell confessed "King of Bling" you would ride such a cheap p.o.s 

  DINGO

[Zippy]

I'll be on a Dialled in time for the Summer series.

I'd hardly call an Intense a POS though, alright the frame design is a bit marmite but it rides and handles better than any cruiser I've ridden.

it was a joke about the cost Si not the make 

  DINGO

Just sat down and worked up what it would cost to start from scratch to race a whole season in the north

Bike - £1800+ (my haro cost bout 400.00 as is and repairs are not lot )
Kit - : helmet free from russ :daumenhoch:body armour etc round 100.00 last ages)
Licence - £32
Race Fees - £7.00 a race average say 7 meets per season
Travel Expenses - £10.00 average again diesel per meet
Food and drink - £0.00  bring sarnies and drink can stella and wham bar with 20 roll up


Total for 1 seasons regional racing in the north is £670.00 including bike which has so far lasted 2 seasons

Obviously you can massively reduce or increase costs but i find it quite a cheap sport in general

A bit of a north south divide going on there greg , you also forgot the food for the whippet in your budget.

I guess we don't have to buy flat caps either or the smog machine that makes everywhere looks so bloody grim. 

I know you were joking Mark.
