Enough to keep the oil in. Or out.

Are you running the black beast in '09, or have you grown up?

Apparently Pirelli supply the plastic cups at a cost of £1400 for the season, THATS what the series gets out of Pirelli......

Looks like Paynep has covered it above

Pirelli sign a letter of agreement stating that the tyres in the DD regulations are suitable for the use that we put them to. And as Paul mentioned no other company was prepared to sign one based on a one tyre rule for both wet and dry
In the first year of DD 2005 we didn't find out what make of tyre we were using until Feb 15th so anybody that had managed to sort their bike out by then had to use what ever they had to hand for practice.

So far we have had 4 successful seasons on Pirelli, shame we don't still get a set or two to give away as prizes at each meeting as we did in 2005, but then I'm not suprised considering the amount of posts that went up questioning why we were using Pirellis during the end of the 2005 season and the start of the 2006 season.

I dont think anyone was moaning Kev, just that someone asked what the series DOES get out of Pirelli in terms of sponsorship thats all.....so I gave the answer that CB gave me....
