ishy Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Looking at the front page of Trials Central it looks more like Trials Rental this week. With all the UK importers offering new machines for rent for this years SSDT. I have bought bikes for the event, and rented bikes, and I must add, renting is the way to go, you get an new machine ready to go at the start of the week, full backup through the week, and you can walk away from her at the end of the week without wondering if she is pregnant or not. and go for a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I don't think we had any US riders last year, and I got the only T-shirt imported to the US! The cost of transporting bikes is just nuts! Did anyone other than Ish bring one back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishy Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 The two strokes are less to buy so less to rent, but you can get a 09 two stroke plus road reg for less than 700 quid, what you ride at home is probably the best bike to rent. Any broken parts have to be replaced, just like you would do on your own bike. A good option offered by all the importers, all you have to do is call them. Air fare 400 quid, entry 400, bike 700, hotel 300, week in the SSDT, priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
