No sarcasm Dicki. It really is difficult to find track availability to ride the stayer bikes, but not impossible. If you want to pace on the big motors, you would be welcome to train for your category A pacing licence. You would need to contact the BPA for this.

oh i see i can't just turn up and ramp around the track on a classic triumph ! shame !
i'll have a look into this
my old legs just aren't strong enough to power myself round the track these days
a 1000cc motor is what i need
do they ever use these at the smaller indoor velodromes or are they more for the bigger outdoor arenas ?

Well Dicki the Triumphs are only 650cc, but they are surprisingly tough on the legs, paticularly in the bankings, as you are standing up riding them.
The big motors are used indoors, notably at Alkmaar in Holland, Berlin and Dortmund in Germany. Unfortunately none of the indoor tracks in Britain are strong enough to take the weight of the bike, let alone 8 of them thundering around.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
