New Pitbike for 09 season

[pmapp]

Well, me new toy is about ready to go :cheers:


I'm supermotoing a 140cc pitbike next year for a giggle. The wheels got delivered this week, so I've been out today fitting 'em and the hand guards. Crash bobbins fitted last week. Barring a catch tank it's all ready to go play. hehehehe.

All being well, this is what I'll be doing.............

Mornin,
No ACU licence needed - so instantly more accessable. And costs wise - it's ne of those where you can spend what you like.

The bike I have there is £500 delivered to your door. Then maybe another £200 - £300 on wheels/tyres, allowed modification etc. I've spent just less than £500 by buying a second hand bike. I'm only doing it for a giggle, so not spending a fortune. A weekends racing (practice & qualifying on Sat then 3 races Sunday) costs approx £65.

So cost wise, I think it is really cheap - and the beer and bbq's on an evening are a bonus :cheers:

And Rai86 - Depends on what the bike is. There's that many of 'em floating about, really cheap Chinese import type stuff upto fully race preped monsters.


There is a couple of clubs (that I know of) that race nationally. The MMRA - who I'll be racing with (already race the minimoto sidecars) and then the newly formed NPS. All club info is on the above link too.


Cmooooooooooooooooooon. Who's up for a giggle?

Yeah, I know the place - didn't know you ran the pit bikes though. Nice one.

Looking at your site, you're closed for crimbo. When are the weekends starting again next year? Gotta try n learn to crash it properly before the first meeting :D
