fuel goes up not down in $$$ i am thinking the ? was would you like your bike haul from southeast to vegas not how much fuel is going to be. and you will make so $$$$ equipment and insuranc adds up fast so if the southeast ride would like some help cool if not you can what for youtube videos
 
What noone seems to be figuring in is wear and tear to the vehicle which is a very real dollar amount. Time for someone driving and all kinds of other expenses.



I wish I could go. I can't take the time off and can't afford the rest of the things that need go along with this like travel and room, etc. But if I could, this would be a good deal for me. Drive to GA, unload the bike, hop on a plane to Vegas, race, load the bike back up, fly home, pick up bike and drive back to NC.



Sounds almost doable.
 
I go through this every year. I know I could do better out there if I was able to ride my own pit bike. But when I look at the expense to get a bike out there it always kills the party. I applaud 'chain' for even offering to set this whole thing up for us east coasters. It is a lot of effeort & I don't know that I would do it. That is true pit bike support at the grass roots level. I just wish I could come up with the cash to join you. But it looks like I'll be flying out with my gear bag & trying to bum a ride again this year. Luckily I have industry connections that have made this possible the last couple years (Thanks Jack-o at Big Minis, Ray at RJR Performance, Mike at TB parts & Jeff at Mini Gunz). Good luck & I hope you win a #1 plate out there 'chain'. Pit Bikes Rule!
 
I am interested. I am not too far from the southside. Will we be able to pit out of the truck? Sounds like a good deal to me. Can we build crates that come apart and get moved with pallet jacks. How were you thinking it would work. I was just going to go this year and watch and then ride next year but this sounds good to me. Let us know if it is going to happen.

Thanks,

Jeff

of course you could pit out of this thing, and yes you can build a crate if you would like and I could bring a pallet jack. I have a huge generator for a TV and the PS3, and anything else that may need electricity.



Got to have atleast 15 bikes though, we aint even close
 
There will be guys that had wished they took you up on your offer. By the time they make the 4k mile journey and pay all the expenses and the unfortunate circumstances that can occur they may rethink your idea for next year...



Slapaho16 has a sweet deal if he's only charging $100 a bike...round trip?
