I think it is important to use environmental friendly mats. Maybe from coconut fibres from B & Q or the Garden Center :rofl:

U mean the ones that dont absorb anything...

I think it’s a good idea, the mats. But in reality we’ve had discussions on do they actually mean rubbish. Especially in other disciplines riders travel with motorhomes to meetings that spill more oil during the weekend than their bikes use. No one cares.

Dont know what your on about but they are supposed to be enviroenmental mats that absorb the possible oil spill, not ugly looking living room ones.

If you are asking what I'm on about, you must be fairly young. Before oil catchers and the recycling oil systems in modern speedway engines, the spent oil used to drip out the bottom of the engine. To be honest, I was never too sure what the issue was about changing the rules to catch the oil, especially if the rider was using castor oil, as the oil is a vegetable based oil and is not as toxic as mineral based oils.

Knew that, just needed confirmation. And no they are not back to total loss. And yes I’m fairly young, probably... :lol:
