If either do post anything stick it on here so we oldies get a chance to read what they say and then moan about it (or... go on al say it... praise and agree with it) Everyone has an opinion right or wrong...

wtf Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 17 hours ago, ch958 said: there must be Czech, German, Danish boys who don't ride in Poland But to convince one to come over here for half a season ain't easy. If they don't have everything set up in the uk, they need to get 2 more bikes, engines to suit, van, mechanic, somewhere to stay etc. A complete new set up. which they can't use anywhere else during the season. Riding the the UK is a big commitment ££ for the first time for the rider. But a Dane, Czech, or German lad can easily pick up extra meetings in Europe using the same kit they have at the moment. That's the biggest issue before you even start getting into Visas etc 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of two that could do with a little holiday and, are dogs allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
