    Is that because you're to crap for real racing?

    Might have to make an effort to have a bike or two going for that one

    I'm not made of money, race tracks are too expensive. Except for that one time I got a full day at Ruapuna for free.

    I don't know, a street race normally involves traffic lights though.

    Street racing is even more of an adrenalin buzz than the track!

    Our bikes are the cheapest way to get out there and and just do it!!
