Advertising on dirtbike.ws?
Yep, you'll notice a couple of ads in there now, the good news is that if you are a member, then you can turn it off if it really offends you.
Thats not a feature i've found at any other website!
Of course, we'd much rather that you understand that all entertainment costs money, and advertising pays bills, and that we'd prefer you to actually click on some ads, or advertise with us, rather than just turn it off.

Check it out. Their thoughts may help you choose your next bike.
