DD is cheap RACING - I have to pay 1000 - 1200 for a 5 speed close ratio cluster for my classics, and thats only the gears and shafts.
My classic tyres costs 120 -130 EACH.
I have to get squish pistons made specially at up to 150 each !
A bare race frame and swinging arm costs 1200
(I hope Sue doesnt see this )

DD is not just CHEAP racing.....there are bikes out there that have had well over 5k spent on them......and there are rounds which have cost people well over 500 quid to enter........racing is not cheap...dd is not cheap....but it is one of the most cost effective ways to go racing.............

cheap....i laugh at that
