Speedway Bike
I have never raced a speedway bike before am interested in learning. Have you raced one if so.
Where did you learn? How much do the bikes cost to buy/run/maintain? Does anyone do something like red letter days for speedway? pardon the ignorance but I really do know sod all about it. |

I know that Weymouth & Swindon have done training days in the past. Do you have a local track where you can ask someone?
You occasionaly see bikes on ebay, although obviously you need to be careful not to end up with a pile of junk! This is the place to look, you may see some adverts for equipment & training days etc (training / practice forum): http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk |

I think if you're serious about speedway or any other form of motorsport then you'll find that about as value for money as you're going to get
