If you're buying online then I think Duke and D6Nutz have both used an online shop from Germany.

If your after scrubs I found a decent guy on tdr. I got some super corsa's off him for a good price and they are barely used.

I'll find his user name in a bit.

I think that would be Tyre Geezer D6Nutz.? His name is Stef & he has a buisness called Tyres 4 Bikes.
He's getting over a stroke earlier this year, so I don't know what his stock situation will be like.?

On the subject of TDR, you may be interested in this advert Crazypainter.?

How about brand new?

There must be a way of getting them cheaper than £300 a set, how do all the race guys afford a new set each race!

That's not who I was thinking of, however he has got some good prices for new tyres. I bought some scrubs from this guy, http://www.trackdayriders.co.uk/tdr/for ... uper+corsa" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

His prices where very good and the tyres where also in an excellent condition. Because I couldn't get up to see him he sent me 20+ photos of the tyres to help me decide which ones to buy.

Racing is never cheap. You'll hear tales of people saying it's easier to build a bonfire of cash and watching it burn. If you do go into racing it'll take over.

Sounds like bikes in general!

The college I work for did say they may be interested in stumping up some cash so they could use it all of part of their advertising but they haven't said anymore so guess it's died a death!

Might mention it again. Problem with colleges is they change management like we change our socks so hard to get one to do what the others said or agreed!

What's the plans for 2015?

You cuming on track?
