Well you sure fucked that up by making it a multi choice poll didn't you?

[dpex]

Well you sure fucked that up by making it a multi choice poll didn't you?

Not in the least. Multi-choice is a bit like 'Transferable' voting. 1st/2nd choice.

[dpex]

Well you sure fucked that up by making it a multi choice poll didn't you?

It also gives the really keen contender the ability to skew the vote....it's called vote rigging. He gets as many mates as possible to vote for him while getting some to give an 'off-vote' to another. That way the really cunning contender makes it look like he's the most popular without making it obvious.

Such a person would have a dynamic mind, perhaps filled with false personal imagery.....while in charge of a very serious motorbike, out on the highways.

Such a person would be a prime candidate for an ART day. :--))

[Hiflyer]

Screw it, voted for myself cos I want it!! :done:

[Reido]

Hiflyer!

Hiflyer all the way!

Hiflyer, he needs the practice...

[Bobbyman]

Yeah Hiflyer needs it... he mud as at riding.

[Rodney007]

IMO raj needs it as hes a noob

VOTE CRIMINAL!!!! VOTE NOOB!!!!!!!! (not joking)

The only serious motorbike on this thread is mine! Unless your talking about unleashing all the fury built into the Gn 250's radical torque filled engine or the Hyosung 250 R's redline inspired powerplant. Guys don't unleash it all at once :zzzz: Vote Cr1MnAL.

you've got the beast, you can afford your own track day XD

[Cr1MiNaL]

you've got the beast, you can afford your own track day XD

Thats what they think but my boss who earns 150k + a year rides a gt250 R. Why? Because he's on his learners. The fact that I've been riding so long and have a track focused bike only means I will be able to use a trackday more effectively. Learners should be learning basic stuff on city streets where they ride 99% of the time. IMO. Can't always judge a book by it's cover.

touche, good sir, touche

i also can not afford a track day =[
need new tyres, then service, then god know what >_<

how ever i think that learners would learn more out of the (ART) track days, and benefit from the instructors more.

I was going to take my Gn on a trackday...

my first thought wud be alot !


F/F:crazy:

[CookMySock]

I'm always going to vote for the young fella tho.

Steve

[Neon]

There are a few of us who would seriously benefit from doing this track day. I have not had the opportunity yet to ride on the track either, and hence have a whole side to the biking experience yet to explore.

I don't mind who wins as long as the person stands to gain some real learning and develop some new skills, not just go to the track for a fang. ;)

What a fuckin joke.

Pay for your own track day you stink cunt.

edit - go hiflyer !

[Cr1MiNaL]

Don't hate the player; hate the game! I just want to learn :crybaby:

[gatch]

Rubbish, you just want to "give the learn" to people who don't have "192" hp..

[dpex]

Screw it, voted for myself cos I want it!! :done:

As, of course, you should. :--))

But, beware. Neon yet might pull off a Winstone. He's coming up the ranks and has Kiwigrahame behind him.....lot of good influence there.

You need to work harder at getting voters....as does Neon.

The solution is in your hands, Crim. Get voters to vote for you.

[Thani-B]

Don't hate the player; hate the game! I just want to learn :crybaby:

Bull. You said you wanted to see if your bike could do 300 like you heard it could. Someone who hasn't been riding as long as you and isn't as set in their ways as you are would benefit from this a lot more than you would.

Go Hiflyer!

[Cr1MiNaL]

I have done 300 clicks many times in the past. I only want to learn to ride better. The fact that you don't get my humor is your shortcoming not mine. Get it.

Well you are riding better then me, so I'm not voting, but hey I'm just jealous ! Common Raj you don't need track day, you done so many but you just getting worse you nob :calm: This is just ART day you are pass that, and even if you need one is not like you can't afford it . I seeing photos of your family home you rich barstad , I'm just jealous again . I give you hug :hug:

[Cr1MiNaL]

I give you hug :hug:

I don't want hug I got plenty of that. I want trackday :whistle:

[prettybillie]

I don't want hug I got plenty of that. I want trackday :whistle:

ART is not a track day. It is an Advance Rider Training day that has a focus on bettering riding skills through riding and also theory. There is a huge amount of theory you do on the day, including walking the track to see better lines.

Honestly Raj - you are too advance for an ART day. It would be a waste of your time and effort.

Thanks, I do have lots of room to improve though, I could do with a memory refresher and also learn a few things I don't yet completely understand. I am also coincidentally teaching a learner to ride, so think of the double benefits my attending one of these ART days will have not only to make me a better rider but to that learner doing whatever I say. Heck, I might just give the day to her and go along and watch. There is plenty of good I can do with this ticket, hence vote for me people, I promise to do good with this pass.

Yeah, great idea, give it to her. You were the one that said that the learners should be learning how to not target fixate and learn basic stuff on city streets where they do 99% of their riding. Way to contradict yourself.

[Cr1MiNaL]

Yeah, great idea, give it to her. You were the one that said that the learners should be learning how to not target fixate and learn basic stuff on city streets where they do 99% of their riding. Way to contradict yourself.

Haha she's had the practice, she's done the time, she's learning from the best in the biz baby. Best you mind you own business. Besides, if I win I can choose to do it myself and impart the knowledge I gain to her and others. I can also choose to use the ART day when I think she is ready. Sending a noob down the fastest track in the Southern Hemisphere is not the best way to help their confidence. Thing about me is Thani, I've been there and done that unlike you.

[Thani-B]

Haha she's had the practice, she's done the time, she's learning from the best in the biz baby. Best you mind you own business. Besides, if I win I can choose to do it myself and impart the knowledge I gain to her and others.

Haha bull. I can think of others that are better riders, that were going to teach her, until you did something we disagreed with, and so passed the reigns to you. Are you going to teach her how to write off R6's too? And no Raj, shes done what, 1000kms or less? You are still contradicting yourself. Hiflyer deserves it more than you even if you decide to use it to teach her.

[Crazy Steve]

I think Raj should win it tooooo.

He not a very good rider at all....:baby:

Crazy Steve.

Voted Raj plus 1

[prettybillie]

....she's learning from the best in the biz baby....

If this is true then you don't need it. This day is about learners, and by your own admission you are not a learner.

REMEMBER - AN ART DAY IS NOT A TRACK DAY, IT IS A RIDER TRAINING DAY

[dpex]

Judging from the latest correspondence, Criminal (Raj) and Hiflyer are somehow connected.

Could someone please explain that connection?

Cheers

Righto folks, we have six contenders for the Free ART Day, with or without my bike, so it's now up to you all to vote for the most deserving contender.

Who is fucking with the voting?
I notice Raj has lost 4 votes over night...
I just want to learn him, thats why i vote him!

[Maha]

I just broke rule #1 in the Handbook of Maha dont do's..happy to help on this occassion.

[Hiflyer]

Maybe the closest connection is we live in auckland? Wish I knew how I knew him, but no never met,

[Cheshire Cat]

Teach raj how to crash properly :buggerd::lol:

[idleidolidyll]

Buggered if I know what a Free Art Day is and frankly I don't even know any of the other identities so Criminal gets my vote...............

After yesterday's ride I have acknowledged that I have so much yet to understand. :beer: got schooled by a 650 single. Looks like I really need to go back to school and re visit the basics. Vote Cr1MiNaL for grand no0b.

[jafar]

Don't hate the player; hate the game! I just want to learn :crybaby:

Thani b will give you the learn on fantapants m8 :whistle:

[dpex]

Given the number of PMs I'm getting about 'some' contenders for the free ART day I returned to view the original offer; which quite clearly asserts...

"Hi all. Today I received notice that I've won a free ART day at Pukekohe, care of the Auckland City Council Road Safety Campaign.

Anyway, given I get a fair old amount of track time I thought a reasonable thing to do would to put up this free day for someone who hasn't yet done a track-day, anywhere."

Clearly, this part of the offer has been either missed or ignored by one or two contenders. For example, Criminal (Raj) does not fit the criteria and so despite the voting outcome he cannot claim the prize.

And so, just to clear up any misunderstandings I think it only fair that only those remaining contenders who can legitimately declare, on this thread, that they HAVE NOT completed a track-day 'Anywhere' will remain as contenders.

Fair enough?

[sl8er4lyf]

the way i see it, Raj is in desperate need of some rider training, noone can tell me the poor guy with the R1 can afford a track day, to add to it, if he writes off that bike, the world will stop spinning momentarily :violin:

Good call, dpex. :2thumbsup

I'm fairly sure Hiflyer has never done a track day, and I reckon he deserves it more than the other contenders anyway, although in all fairness I don't know the full extent of each of their circumstances.

[rapid van cleef]

i have definetly never done a track day. as my previous post said, i got given a voucher for a track day when i was in uk as an xmas pressie, then very shortly afterwards ended up here in nz so i gave mine to a biker mate of mine back home. had to sell me bike as it wouldnt fit in the container, then after being here for 3 years, jut bought a bike 4 months ago, but due to work etc havent been out much. im like 3-4 hours from auckland and 2 from taupo, so a track day incurrs other expenses for me aswell like accomodation, i dont fancy riding all day after a 3-4 hour ride to auck etc. I thought i'd try my luck with this giveaway. what a great thing it is to do, to give an ART day away. well done, and i hope whoever wins it, takes on the board the tuition and experience and learns from it, not simply using it as a track blast fuck about.

Just to clear up any misunderstandings. If I won this pass I was going to give it to Dirty_Harri or Haymaker ( I did not want to mention these names because I need to uphold my KB image but fek it). Both riders deserve this ART day as much as any other contender. I was never going to use it for myself, despite the BS I talk on this website. Besides, you did start the poll and clearly mentioned the contenders therein. I put in considerable effort from 1 vote to 40+ to lead the voting for this track day in a matter of 2 days. I feel a bit let down, not for me but for my friend who was going to get it and she was pretty excited about doing an ART day. So NO - not fair enough. However, as it is your prize do with it as you fancy. Just stick to one story so I am not wasting my time and lifting others spirits only to let them down shortly after. Clearly the votes are representative of the situation. Every bugger on that list knows me and knows I will do good with it if I win. You may direct any questions to me via PM.

[prettybillie]

How come these dudes didn't put their names forward for the vote?

Not this thread - but the original one telling people about it - did say it is for track day first timers.

[Hiflyer]

Thanks DarkLord, been without interweeb for a few days, and yup, can confirm I have NOT done a trackday, anywhere. :no:

Vote Hiflyer for Noob.... Note there is a difference between Noob and SQUID :shifty:

Okay, so I'll ask the Q. Why didn't they put their names forward?

As regards you intentions, Raj, they're not really the issue.

The offer was to total track-newbies. The offer didn't include another person third-partying to another newbie.

Jesus H. Christ. All I did was offer a free track-day to a total newbie and found myself besieged with PMs from sundry parties.

[Neon]

I definitely have never done a track day anywhere. That said I concede defeat to Hiflyer. C'mon people give him your vote :woohoo:

edit: actually it doesn't really matter, there's nothing in the rules that says dpex has to give it to the one with the most votes - just the one who is most 'deserving'.

Simply put, I think they don't post here enough to have noticed, hence one of them hasn't even voted for me yet.

If you don't want to give me the track day anymore, so I can help some noob out forget about it. And... about those PM's don't fret, haters will always be haters.:whocares:

[FROSTY]

bugger it Dpex just give it to me.

[scracha]

Every bugger on that list knows me and knows I will do good with it if I win. You may direct any questions to me via PM.

Do good with it? You sent me a PM saying "vote for me and I'll give it to you scracha".


Next time I pass you on my TDM I'll be aiming a kick at your R1

:jerry::jerry::jerry:

[dpex]

bugger it Dpex just give it to me.

In actual fact, the other day I looked at William and wanted to give myself a good smack. It would have been a great Christmas present for him.

Oh well. Hindsight and fools.

I just thought a bit about me missing the obvious; ergo, William. And so I'd like to make up for being a dumb-arse and offer to pay for him to do a Puke Track-day. You reckon he can ride my bike? I think his legs are long enough.

If you'd simply notified them of the thread they could have put their own names forward and then you wouldn't have missed out on being the cool guy that helped them get a free ART track day. He clearly stated what the criteria of the person receiving the 'prize' was and you chose to ignore that - it's no one's fault but your own.

If you were still YamahaR64life rather than 'Indian Tiger' or 'Criminal' do you think he would have even put you on the voting list?

Nice try with the reverse psychology - this was always about dpex helping out noobs, not about you trying to score brownie points with hot chicks.

[dpex]

Hiflyer. You scored a free track day. Good on you.

Please PM me with your address details so I can send the voucher to you.

I will email Colleen at AMCC to let her know that my voucher is now yours.

She knew I was giving it away.

Enjoy. But mostly, take real good notice of instructions and do not hesitate to get a line marshal to work with you.

Hope you have a ball.

Yeah well, the fact is the free day has gone to Hiflyer. But I have to say I've been kicking myself silly for forgetting William before I posted the offer.

So, to make up, and seeing he's such a good kid, and seeing as I'm a member of AMCC, so I get a good rate. You book him in to a track-day, tell me the when, and I'll pay for it.

BTW: I'm slightly pleased to have you acknowledge that Old Zimmer is a 'Machine'. Oh yeah.:--)) Despite the fact that since I bought it from you I've replaced just about everything except the motor. Did I get a good deal or what???

[steel001]

Congrats Hiflyer and cheers Dpex.

11 fucken votes, awesome!

[meowmix]

Good call dpex. Yeah Hiflyer, you owe me 1/45th of a trackday...

[R6_kid]

Good work hiflyer. Well deserved :woohoo:

[Hiflyer]

Thanks so Much guys :woohoo: I honestly didn't even expect 10 votes to be honest, so Thanks to all who voted and spread the word to get votes out for me. What an awesome early xmas present!!!!

I'll make sure that I take the absolute most out of the ART day!!!!!

CHEERS DPEX

What image do you imagine you actually have here on KB?
What a load of fucken shit. You weasel raj, you were trying to get dpex to sponsor your trip behind her panties and got snapped. Damn you are a sad bastard.
Look on the bright side, if your ruse fails it may just have saved the poor lass from a terrible stigma.
Just pay for a spot you tight arse.
