How's it going,
Seeing as I don't seem to find much time for track days (and find the money half the time) I was thinking about getting into another type of motorcycling. I keep seeing dirt bikes about for not much over a grand, was wondering what NI is like for using them? I don't really have time to find private land to ride on.
Basically, I have a few questions as I'm completely new to all this type of motorcycling. Haven't even ridden a dirt bike since I was about 6. I'm based in Belfast but willing to travel a bit, have a trailer already. So;
- What's the cost like compared to track day/short circuit riding?
- Are the bikes cheaper to fix than sports bikes? (like if you break a rear set etc.)
- Are there tracks that are available on weekday evenings and weekends? This is the big one for me
- How much are these tracks to have a go on?
So yeah, I'm kind of interested in it if it's gonna be a little cheaper and more accessible (the main thing for me really) than short circuits. Looks like good craic but I'm probably useless on a dirt bike anyway.
Cheers lads
