It will mostly consist of 10-20 minutes of riding in total and the rest of the evening sitting around trying to fix the bike. Razz

I've got pretty good odds this time thanks to quantity of available bikes for high changes of riding - and an industrial size bottle of thread lock Smile. But yes, I would be surprised if all the bikes work at any one time!

How much are you charging per lap?

Nothing on my account, but have to cover the fees for hullavington (it's only £5 extra for one rider sharing the same bike, but if we say had three riders riding three of my bikes, going to be £20 for an extra 'owner rider'.)
So, getting 200 laps in would make that around 10p per lap.
(Though, wouldn't mind some fuel money if bikes being used properly - a couple of quid would boost that up to a staggering 11p per lap!)

Need to get my Pit bike SM finished. Sad

https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10380969_10152903912960606_1664444798206037410_n.jpg?oh=1d227307e9ae9b513cad5683f8973e51&oe=55A0BCF0


Although probably useless at Hully.
It's more of a Whilton Mill bike.

Ste's prediction was remarkably prophetic Sad.

Saying that, it was mostly me deciding to f-about with bikes - could have kept them as they were and blagged a jubilee clip off someone.
I thought the track was lacking in grip, until it was pointed out the tyres on the bike I was riding were pretty tired. However, following a faster rider while I was riding a bike with better tyres, my corner speed on the fast back corners was pretty similar - so it seems it the track is just lacking in grip - something I'd definitely noticed when we first did minimoto there many years ago.

Cheers to Ste for lots of spannerin with a rather disorganised set of tools!

A rule of thumb with indoor Pit bike SM tyres. Is the cheaper, the better.

Sticky tyres pick up all the dust, and then you lose grip.
Cheap tyres seem to be the best choice.

Interesting... I did notice my Sava's were pretty dusty.

The PMT slicks were pretty knackered, but would have been fine out doors for the sort of speeds I've been riding I expect Neutral.

PMT's are fooking epic out-doors. 10" being the better size for them (IMO).

12" wheels, I find Sava's un-stoppable outdoors. Fantastic supermoto rubber.

Heidenau are the indoor choice IIRC.

I might actually have one of those - I looked at it rather disdainfully along with the pile of other tyres that came with the 160!
