Looks like he's doing one every week if you check his channel out... it's exhausting just watching it, cant help but think he could do without the wasted trips to Poland though. DT comes across really well, something that just hasn't been transmitted by any other medium before, who only seems to be interested in if he's going to make any changes or what the track is like, the guy actually has a personality! Who knew 🤷♂️ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights, Hotels, Bike prep whilst away... Getting enough decent sleep to keep alert enough to ride a Speedway bike must also be a challenge.... And then when you get there you may not ride!!!

Used to be worse when it was 16 hour drives through the night with bikes from the UK, at least now they fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from NKI... I presume he takes the ferry to Poland?.. Sadly, no ferries now run direct to Denmark, but there is a route via Germany and Holland... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted Monday at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:42 PM 1 hour ago, IainB said: DTTV - The Cost of Speedway I’ve watched all of these and his is one of the only speedway ones I can watch, it was interesting to watch the latest one to compare how bike things/prices have changed since I retired which was 15 years ago, somethings never change and some of the BS that went on back then still goes on today 😂 but in the grand scheme of things apart from clutches and their maintenance nothing has really changed since the 80s but it does cost a hell of a lot more today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though surprised he didn’t get his collar boned plated in UK. There is a very good consultant surgeon based in Leicester (private) who would have done the work inside a week.

Dan Gilkes reminded me of Chris Schramm last night, barely able to stay on from bend to bend. Hopefully he'll regain some confidence at Scunny after nearly a year out of the sport 👍🏻 Surely it was only going to be a matter of time before somebody snapped JT up especially now everybody knows how their teams are performing and injuries etc. Edited 49 minutes ago by IainB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
