alternatively, if you're dinky like me, then a Citroen Dispatch is the cosiest van going.

with 2 sleeping bags just for me, 2 (yes 2!!) rollmats also just for me, my cosiest pyjamas and a couple of glasses of wine to knock me out for the night, well frankly a better night's sleep is hard to find without company and in my experience boys are very smelly on race weekends so that's not good.

can't see as class A can be any more exspensive than it was when people were gearing up for the 2005 season.
Those buying a 620 at the end of 04 or begining of 05 were buying bikes that were 2 years old or less, some even buying new.

I'm sure I could now go and buy a 620 plus a slipper clutch for less than most paid for their 620s back then.

On the other hand Class B was introduced in 2006 as a cheaper alternative to attract newwbies to racing

I don't know anyone that has managed to get one working well and consistently, but I know a few who have removed them entirely and gone back to std.

I fitted one that I got work perfect!

Save your £'s and spend it on tracktime, that's what will make you faster in DD. Its the Indian, not the arrow.
