Spare wheels or pit bike?

[GixerJockey]

Ok...

I would like a pit bike for next season. I would also like a spare set of wheels for the Sv to mount rains onto.

If I can only buy one of the two... and they are roughly the same price... which do I chose?

I have both all lined up. I honestly can only afford to pull the trigger on one of them this time of the year.

Which one is gonna give me the better bang for the buck?

[Awesome]

How much are you spending on the pit bike?

I think an 08 TT-R110 is what you're looking for. Lets make a deal

wheels. you can always bum pitbikes to get around, except when its the riders meeting, cause no one gives them up then

How much are you spending on the pit bike?

I've come across a slew of local PW80's lately. All under $500. Gonna look at one tomorrow that's a runner for $300.

Wheels,

No-one Needs a pitbike (yes there are fun)

I use a Bicycle

I think if it's $500 you've got yourself a deal... (or rather, I've got MYSELF a deal)

[Awesome]

go with the wheels. If you get a pitbike, spend the money and get something you can at least really screw around on, like my thumpstar.

Howabout $500 + new black Arai XD + dark smoke visor for said XD = you getting a pitbike

Hmmmmmm.... Now where am I going to get a black XD-3... I wonder...

You are going to be in the garage next year. You really don't need a pitbike. Get the wheels. You will need the wheels.

[butcher bergs]

Wheels.

Wheels. I use a Long Board as my pit bike and it works fine at Loudon. I guess that makes it my Pit Board!

[pasta-rocket]

I would get the pit bike, if you want to get anywhere on the track quick it is the only way. I also use mine at my house.

i have had rains for 4 years and have not used them yet.

If you're really going to ride rain, then the spare wheels.

I went with the spare wheels back when I started racing and used a bicycle to travel the pits. Four years later I now finally have a pit bike (and three spare sets of rims).

I'd get the wheels


...and a pit bike

I got a pit bike (CRF 50) super cheap off a kid a couple years ago. It barely ran. I told my wife at the time it was cheap to buy and cheap to get running

...well one long winter later it had
88cc kit
high volume oil pump
heavy duty clutch
HD spoke rims
raised seat
two bros bars
taller gooseneck
high rev CDI
ext. HD shifter
ext. rear brake lever
stiffer rear shock
solid front fork tubes w/ HD springs
ext. swing arm
new levers and cables
rear hand brake
rear stunt pegs
new chain and alum. sprockets
05 crf frame
grips and bar ends
new tires
platform footpegs

I ended up moding the damn thing like it was a big bike Ton of fun though and great winter project

I'm trying to sell a pitbike... if you're going to ride in the rain get the wheels.

[brewmaster]

Racing in the rain is FUN! Racing on a wet, then dry, then wet, then dry line but wet, then drizzle, then dry, then wet....etc SUCKS!

[scottieducati]

That's because you're a girl and don't ride in the rain.

Noel, get the wheels, don't make me bitch slap you.

[GixerJockey]

Well... this is exactly the opposite of what I expected.

I figured everyone would be all for adding another toy to the stable.


I DO understand the importance of having a spare set of wheels... But they aren't any fun...

[scottieducati]

When you're getting ready for a race and the sky opens up, they're plenty of fun. Not to mention the fun you'll have riding 'round on proper rain tires in the wet... it's amazing the grip they have!

Feeling a little let down?

i bet you had your excuse all planned out-
"Honey see...everyone else on the forum thinks i should get a pit bike too"

[scottieducati]

The only person Noel call's honey or answers to is me. Which is why he's getting wheels, otherwise I will hold the pimp hand strong and bitch slap his punk ass.

There is no longer a "HONEY" to answer too...

Get the wheels and keep an eye out on trash day and get yourself a free bicycle.

Or pit wit some guys that already have pit bikes.
