| I agree Chaz DD has developed and as I often say to those contemplating racing for the first time and aren't sure if its for them, just get out there without spending to much and if you decide you like racing spend a bit more.
Often a converted road bike and a trailer towed behind a car is the starting point, futher down the line its a well sorted bike and a Motorhome towing the trailer.
Thing is its hard to enjoy it if its crippling you financially. Many have started at the budget end, DDers like Bradders, Scott, Sam West, Jimbo, Dean Russel and many more started out with very basic race bikes in recent years and once hooked on the racing have put more into their bikes so as to get more out of the racing.
on my bike I'm still running the same seat unit, tank, rearsets, frame and yokes from my original 2005 bike. And over the years I have steadily uprated various parts with the biggest changes coming when I moved up from Class B to Class A,
Next year will be my 8th year in DD and my 15th year of racing all self funded, not a single £ coming from anyone else and if I hadn't treated racing in DD as a budget series I would have had to pack racing in before now.
I'm not sure how much money this Seasons Class B Championship winning bike has had lavished on it although I'm pretty sure Ghostie lavished a fair bit of care on it, maybe it still fits the bill of looking as if its just been salvaged from a scrap yard, its all part of the attraction of DD
