Ice, I don't think your rear tyres are wide enough :p
What times are you expecting to run?
Did you make the tubular frame yourself?

Bikes aren't expensive...

buying old bikes isnt expensive, but newer 1's at 5k ish add in the frequent helmet changes, then if you get Fat new leathers, repairs are stupidly expensive if you dont have the skills or are confident enough to repair them your self. this all mounts up and can get very expensive

and ice man nice motor, not keen on straight line racing my self prefer circuit racing. me and my mate are looking into building a spaced framed car in the future and get it on the track, probs going to run the scooby drive-train but on a shorter wheel base and less weight.

Nice, here's my baby, thinking of starting a new project too and agree they do help getting to them hard to reach places.

Bikes are for bikers (queers).

Repairing a bike, isn't actually that expensive at all. Dropping out the engine takes all of about 15 minute to do and you can strip and rebuild a bike engine within a couple of hours. The main cost of any repair to a bike, is replacing the pistons (Though dependent on how you ride). A car is far more expensive to repair and replace parts, as with most cars now they have to go into a certified mechanic. Where as a bike, anyone can repair even without knowledge.
