You might want to update your website ....
On the "team/schedule" section it only shows you are attending 5 outdoor rounds.

Its the riders responsibility to get him or herself to the races. Running a van to all the nationals, the cheapest your gonna spend in gas is 9 grand in gas!

But if they ride their bike to the race it will only cost them 90 bucks. Might as well bring the mechanic to split the cost.

They can fly or drive depending on how far they live from the races, it really is a great deal for alot of reasons.

1. You can stay home and train more inbetween races

2. Less nights in a hotel or sleeping in a van, easier to have a good diet

3. no hassels getting a parking spot or coming and going from the track.

4. Bikes less likely to get stolen at the track vs in a Van at the Hotel


I think people would be surprised the amount of riders and how much they pay to be involved with Teams and their Semi.

This is a sweat deal no sponsor exemptions ect.

if i was a pro and had to drive myself there then getting my bike there with me would be no problem......if i was a flyer then it would make sense to me.

By the way you get more then $40 per moto when you add in the factory contingency

I think your missing an important part of this. It would be cheaper to send your bike with them and fly to the races. This is a great deal. Airfare is pretty cheap anymore in comparison to fuel cost.

I'm not shitting on this and if someone finds it useful, great...but to say it's cheaper?

$150 race to haul the bikes
MINIMUM $250 airfare R/T x2 with mechanic =$500
Two nights in hotel, $75 night avg, =$150
Least three days care rental ($25day MIN fri/sat/sun) = $75
Meals for two will be at the least $50 a day (fri/sat/sun) = $150
(Friday arrival, Sat practice, Sunday race)

MINIMUM and low balling all the estimates, you're looking at $1025 per race before fees, sign up, race fuel and anything else

At least if you have a van or something, you can sleep in it or carry food/grill to cook and have a greater ability to cut corners financially.

This program would make it EASIER, but I don't agree that it'd be CHEAPER

If it works out for them to use it, great...go for it
(I do also think the insurance question is a good one, maybe bonding also)

I guess you guys can't read the title of the post....he wasn't asking us internet fuck off's if we wanted transportation of bikes/equipment to all of the Nationals. He offered this deal to privateer's.

That's a great deal for anyone planning on doing any races other than those in their home region. Being home to live during the week between races is a huge factor in the equation, and worth a large chunk of money. They have semi space, so they're looking to deal some of it to other privateer's.....for a great price.

Spam?? Give me a fucking break.

fug me...I agree with boobyM.

The dude named his price (it isn't free to drive a semi around is it?)

How much is a fair deal FOR the service offered? 150 to tote all that stuff from track to track is pretty fair IMO. Yeah, a bit of salesmanship, but it's far from any kind of ripoff.

Thanks for doing something to contribute to the sport.

As long as they are hauling the bikes in a semi, it should be OK.

Anything less just ruins the fan experience.

That is a really great deal.

No parking probs....no set-up.....a place for your shit.....

I paid $500 to get my bike to Glen Helen and back. I was happy for the option.

I think it sounds like a good idea...that way the racer can drive a smaller car to the races and save big $$$ on gas.

My question is...how does the racer practice during the week??? I guess you'd have to have a practice bike at home???

The general idea is so the racer can stay home during the week to train and ride...

But i dont know about the on-the-road privateers...
