Paeroa updates?

[CHOPPA]

Anyone got some updates on paeroa yet?

I heard there were a few crashes?

Who did all the winning???

[woodyracer]

, there was a massive crash on my flag masheling point, a side car flipped and trrapped people under it......its was so big it endend the day.... Abit of a pity, karl morgan,nick cloe,dave manuell took out superpsort and craig,hayden,ryan, tony rees, ray clee, were all battling hard for F1

[Shaun]

Adam Unsworth won the Side Car race

[FROSTY]

hope like heck that sidecar guy is ok

[woodyracer]

hope like heck that sidecar guy is ok

he's alright, while we were carign ofr him he was in abit of pain......but his side-car is pretty fucked......His daughter {the swinger} got up,

[Kiwi Graham]

Bad accident in practise F2 braking for Pirelli cut through the bails and hit something solid.

Jared Love battered and bruised and forks snapped in first F2 race 1st lap.

Bad side car crash first corner, needed both ambulances causing an early end, looked quite serious.

As above, the Honda boys did the winning in F1 Craig, Hayden and Ryan. Nick, Karl & Dave doing it in F2.

Another hot Paeroa day, wasnt racing myself but wish I was, place was buzzing. Good to see Tony Rees on his 4day old superstock R1 and Lance Lowe giving it large on the back wheel, Paul Dobbs keeping those Dukes going (one clutch between two bikes I think) and doing well.

Just got to sort the sunburn out now!

A very solid forkhoist i was told. What a forkhoist was doing there is any mans guess

[gatch]

Is that the Mickelsons ?

I hope she's ok, she's gorgeous !

Hope Neville is ok too, he beat me in a few races at the classics festival..

[Magua]

There were actually two there. >_<

[quickbuck]

Hmmm, seem to recall somebody getting into a spot of bother doing something similar last year?......... Hang On..... :shutup:

Nope it wasnt Qmoto Sponsored Rider Joanne, or Neville, not sure who but it wasnt them

[Maha]

They canned the day after the sidecar crash, said it would take about 1/2 an hour to get another ambo to the track and that would take the time close to 5pm, which is when they have to finish. But that was after about a 1/2 - 3/4 hour of nothing happening but clearing up I guess.

Here is Loves bike getting a ride back to the pits.

[Kiwi Graham]

It was post calssic side cars the big crash was in. I dont know who was involved. one ran into the back of another and flipped trapping them underneath. Ambos took there time making them safe for transport to hospital. Hope there ok.

[scrivy]

It was Alan Satherley and daughter, with the other chair Peter Wilmott. Don't know who has what injuries, but we were told broken femur and also collar bone!! Poor Shona, she's getting married in 3 weeks!!!!

[Genestho]

Alan Satherly and Daughter, and David Lett!?:no:

My BADD Girls won the Howard Gregory Memorial Trophy!!!:Punk: Good work Trace and Jo!!!

EDIT! Fantastic Brolly work, Quasi and Korn!!!:D

[BIG DOUG]

Yea,just got of the phone with daves missus jude,daves got a broken leg and a couple of broken ribs and he was sent to middlemore due to no room at waikato jamie's ok ,F**ked if I'd like to be looking after him grumpy prick lol.

[racer40]

Alan Satherly has broken leg, broken pelvis &internal bleeding, in surgery now at Waikato, Shona disscharged from Thames, What about guy who hit forklifts, I think he went to Auck. Rescue helicopter made a few trips from Paeroa

[Tink]

HOLLY COW... sounds like a horrific day of accidents.... really pleased shona ok... wish her dad, and all the other guys well, they are a great team at middlemore intensive care... dad in their for 3 months... wish them all well soon.

[Ixion]

There were actually two there. >_<

And one of thosev( a very big one) had a couple of huge spikes out front instead of forks !

[Duke girl]

Sorry to hear about Alan and Shona's accident. I hope Alan recovers well and in time to walk his Daughter down the aisle on her Special Day. Thoughts are with you both as you are terrific people to know in the sidecar association. Heal up fast Alan.

[TOTO]

what was the name of the rider riding the RSV that went into the forklifts ?


on another note, one thing I learned today: You can tell a lot about a woman by looking at how she is eating her ice cream...

[carver]

Good to see you there toto

[TOTO]

haha nice pic, but It wasnt me in the suit this year :banana:

[Kiwi Graham]

Highs for today, watching Craig and Haydon getting 'clean air' over the hump by the dummy grid, the classic sidecars attempting to get drive out of the Suzukis 'S' bends, the lean angles those supermoto guys can get with a leg stuck out in front of them (whats all that about), the sheer speed of those self powered sidecars, the attempts to slow 170+kgs of bike down to tip into the Suzuki 'S' bends. The amount of people you can fit into one 'streets open' car (best count = 6), watching a Harley Davidson kick ass (rider wearing full retro 60's leathers), watching the hay bails actually moving as the quick guys flick past the kink on the start-finish straight!!

An awesome day (as a spectator), well done AMCC, well done PSRC, well done all who took part, role on next year

[retro asian]

Great day :Punk:

A few shots I got.

[Mom]

Good to see you there toto

I am pleased to say I managed to have a great nights sleep undisturbed by thoughts of you sweating in your undies :lol:

[Laava]

Mom, you forgot to put "if you know what I mean" at the end of that sentence!

[Rcktfsh]

Pretty comfortable wins for Craig in F1, Jay was running hot on a FZR1000 that bike owner Sean Ellis had bought a couple of weeks before and pretty much put a Ohlins shock in and bugger all else, cleaned up Posties then ran midfield in the feature race not bad for a 21 year old road bike. F2 was looking like Nick and Jarod would pick up where they left off at Whanganui but unfortunately both riders outbraked themselves in to the 1st corner in R1 with Jared's and bike to broken to continue.

Big crowd just hope some off them make the effort to go to a real meeting on a real track to see real racing this weekend.

[Quasievil]

the lean angles those supermoto guys can get with a leg stuck out in front of them (whats all that about)r

Get more lean angle, otherwise your foot gets knocked of the pegs

[tinkeltoes]

What an awesome day out. Good racing. Good weather.

Bitch of a trip back. Heaps of traffic lots of fucken coppers as well. Assholes!

Thats an unfair statement about the police. As we were towing our trailer back to NP we were passed by more than a few idiots on bikes in stupid places. They werent doing the ACC argument any good at all.
The police have a job to do.

True True I drove from Paeroa to Aucks and the behaviour was terrible, bikes split laneing forcing there way through, cutting in front of me hitting the brakes, crap riding behaviour from many bikes

I was hoping for a few to get done, sadly no

go the cops !!

[Genestho]

Bingo x2, got cut off by 2 bikers yester-evening in a group of 5 turning in front of me to head up the Kaimai's at a million miles an hour. (The last 2 - yamaha and Duke wern't quite so hasty)

[kimamigo]

It is with deep sorrow and regret that i have to tell you all that Alan didn't make it.......R.I.P. my Brother

[scrivy]

Just like to say a big thanks to all the ambulance crews that had to do a shite load of work yesterday.
A totally thankless task (I know they're paid to do it), but never the less, a big thanks from me for your efforts.

[Mully]

I'd heard this (my sister knows his sister) - but I was looking for evidence that it was just a bad rumour.

RIP Alan.

Condolences for your loss

Just askin, just askin. Thought you would have been.

What amazes me Robert, is that you, and many other people in the motorcycle industry have names of business and other logos all over your trailers etc, and yet Squids still do dumb stuff right in front of you.....

I guess they are so used to doing dumb stuff, it doesn't even register......
I has it a guess, you have a very different opinion of them if you recognise the bike after something like that has happened.....
I for one would feel embarased if I had to come and ask for your services if I did something dumb that you saw while on the road.... I guess not every rider has that shame....

[cmoore]

I was one of those bikes riding back...on a yammy.....and although i did ride the outside in static traffic..which may be what some of your are talking about...i tried not to pull in front of cars.....:)..a lot of cars moved to the left to let us get through which was cool and i generally waved to those...even i was amazed at some of the bikes and not so much the riding position but the speed which they went past!!...I had to constantly keep a look behind to ensure i was aware of the bikes coming up.....but all in all i thought everyone was pretty good..

FYI the 100kph speed limit and yellow lines are designed for wide, slow accelerating cars, vans, suv's etc. being operated by drivers with low levels of brain stimulation i.e. lowest common denominator. If more `bikers' had ridden bikes to Paeroa maybe the roads out wouldn't have been so clogged yesterday arvo?

[svr]

... people who had no idea just how serious that crash was.

Obviously horrible news to hear this morning.

[Quasievil]

Was there two fatalities at Paeroa ?

http://www.stuff.co.nz/waikato-times/sport/3357932/Race-has-heavy-toll

The incident which led to the first death in the 19-year history of the Battle of the Streets came during a warm-up ride at about 8.30am, when the veteran rider came off his bike at the end of the back straight. He was airlifted to hospital by the Westpac Waikato Air Ambulance.

maybe Im reading it wrong

But the Fatality involving the sidecars was late afternoon, not 8.30 am

[Maha]

You are reading right Quasi, thats what is says, hopefully the Waikato Times has got it wrong?

It says the 58 year old died in Waikato Hospital, when Alan Satherley went to Middlemore.

Yet they also say



A 58-year-old Auckland man, whose name has not been released, died at Waikato Hospital overnight after suffering pelvic and chest injuries when his sidecar rolled at high speed during Paeroa's annual Battle of the Streets motorcycle race meet yesterday.


I think Stuff is confused.

I agree Robert , they should at least have the decency to pass you slow enough so that you can slip a business card to them on their way past aye...... :-)

No, plenty of business is coming my way anyway. And to reply to SVR Im on the road with a trailer/ workshop that has been supplying specialist services to racing motorcyclists. Having been a motorcyclist Im always mindful of giving them plenty of room even though many have a habit of riding in your blind spot

When you have brain dead idiots passing you when approaching blind corners you just take a deep breath....if something is coming the other way it can take all of you out.

But I guess you cant put brains where they arent supposed to be.

Happens every year, someone has to bleat about the carry-on of ''some'' bikers on the way back from Paeroa.
Inconsiderate riding happens every day, not just on the 3rd Sunday of every Feb'.
I found that alot cars pulled to the left, thats the advantage of being on a bike, leep-frogging your way to front of a queue of bloody cars.

I only saw one cop I think on the way home, he was sitting just at the begining of the new passing lane at Maungatawhiri.
Alot of dead traffic on the Motorway heading into Auckland, which if a Harley can get through, so can I.
To be fair, there were a couple of idiots, but on the whole, just another day in the world of motorcycles.

[Robert Taylor]

What with all that pogoing & squatting going past, poor Robert must have felt queezy by the time he got home.

Yeah, if they had Ohlins fitted theyd be able to elevate their crash speed......

I understand Robert. Last year, some wanker was on his back wheel through a 30K area in loose metal in the opposite lane while everyone (myself included) was taking in easy. There will always be that exceptional cockhead that (time after time) does dumb thinking he is impressing those who can see him.

[Ixion]

I saw only two cops all day . One between Ngatea and Paeroa. he didn't have his radar on, but I was very law abiding,cos of that road being notoriously dangerous, infested with snakes.

And the other , perversely on OLD State Highway 2 just after the Kaiuwa turnoff on the way home. What's he doing THERE? Not supposed to be snakes on that road. Snakes not permitted on any road with "old' in the name. But, he had his radar on full time, so I had lots of warning. Maybe he did it deliberately, realised he wasn't playing by the rules .

Other than those two, a very safe day.

Of course, personally, I never speed. Speed kills, this I know, for the guvernment tells me so.

[cmoore]

i had better add that i only just got my license back from a serious suspension.....but to be honest...enjoyed the legal ride just as much.....to the dicks in cars who post on a biking site about bikes cutting them off or flying past...fuck off.....if they had pulled over to let us by there wouldn't have been a need to go around.

All the way on the road out was a huge emergency lane to the left; motorbyclist and I plus the smc had no worries just cruising in the line of traffic to the left, letting the bikes pass.

Exactly Quasi, and some of them might be grateful of an ambulance with ( god forbid ) 4 wheels.

Its always pathetic to witness bullish / abrasive behaviour when referring to car drivers. Many of us rode motorcycles or still do and like you are very attentive to motorcycles and give them plenty of room.

There are of course many idiot car drivers.


With the increase in ACC levies being such a hot potato its sad to see so many idiots on motorcycles effectively demonstrating to many car drivers that the increase may well have been justified

Mate I'm quite happy to show respect to Riders on the roads, pulled left all day, a few riders got the rock on signs, but with all the whinging about ACC levie's you'd think Riders would be a little responsible for themselves rather than expecting us (filthy cagers) to slam the brakes on so they didn't end up on my bonnet, or their mates up my arse.

I ain't riding my bike on the roads, no interest whatso-ever.

And if you Marshalled yesterday at Paeroa, I'm more than somewhat surprised at your post. Dicks? Speak for yourself Richard....

[JayRacer37]

Thankyou Scrivy, first person to hear that from. Only comments had before that were critisism on the decision to cancel racing from people who had no idea just how serious that crash was.

We love you Toot. You and your ilk have helped plently off us - it's a shame you usually get to meet us when we are most pissed off! Very sad about yesterday's tragedy - condolances to Alan's family and friends, and the sidecar community - we know your a tightnit group (most of the time).

[Mom]

Thankyou Scrivy, first person to hear that from. Only comments had before that were critisism on the decision to cancel racing from people who had no idea just how serious that crash was.

The racing ended early yesterday. Personally I was concerned that it had taken so long for the track to re-open after the race had been stopped due to the accident at the top of the front straight. It just went on and on.

Some would not have even noticed how long it was taking. As far as criticism goes, I heard none where I was, it was more worrying about what was happening and the sending of all our support to the downd riders/passengers.

Sadly the worst case scenario has transpired. Please dont hear any negatives from the posts, many people would not have even considered how much is done by so many prior to and on the day to make an event like BOT Paeroa happen for general consumption. The fact that no one thanks you guys is largely down to what a fantastic job you all do. Kia Kaha!

[Biggles08]

I thought you may need the motivation to make sure you CAN make it down so you have the opportunity to...ummm...'help me out.' I'm pretty certain once you are there I can persuade you back to the dark side with some beer :-)

I'd imagine that it would be pretty tough for somebody to ride their racebike to Paeroa! But I suppose if they were REAL BIKERS, they would have. I'm sure if Robert was a real biker, he'd be able to get his whole workshop into a tankbag too!

[Biggles08]

What a great Idea! Although, I guess someone else would have to bring the rest of my gear in a cage anyway cause I'm pretty sure last time I checked It wouldn't fit it in my tankbag... :-) ...oh well, I guess I'm no 'Real' biker then :-)

And my thanks to the emergency services.
Very sad news

What amazes me Robert, is that you, and many other people in the motorcycle industry have names of business and other logos all over your trailers etc, and yet Squids still do dumb stuff right in front of you.....

I normally drive a car to Paeroa as it's so close it'd be a stretch to call it a "ride" and it's always so damned hot I can't be arsed sweating like a mofo in protective gear. They should have a booth at the entrance where you can swap helmets and leathers for boardies* and jandals**.

Anyhoo.....there was some REAL fuckin stupid riding on the way home, especially as it's obvious there's gonna be cops in every direction for miles around. 2 bikes in front of us obviously had reverse thrusters as they were so close to the car ahead of them. Idiot mate behind us with girlie on pillion on wrong side of road going around outside of our car at blind left hand intersection.

[Mom]

Idiot mate behind us with girlie on pillion on wrong side of road going around outside of our car at blind left hand intersection.

"splat" could so easily have happened.

Yeah well, I can never understand why any female would have so little regard for her own life that she would sit on the back of a bike riden in that sort of manner. I saw a really horrible example of that yesterday, I guess they got home on one piece. When we ride down we have no choice but all the gear. We have always found somewhere to leave it, and can be found wandering around like any other spectator.

[roadracingoldfart]

Its never good to hear of such sad news at a racing event . Sorrowfull for all , especially the family .

Our wishes to the family and friends .

The other rider in this incident dave lett is doing as well as can be, he has broken both shoulders all his ribs and his leg which will be operated on tomorrow as of now he doesn't no of alan's death but knowing dave he will be devastated.

[Grubber]

i had better add that i only just got my license back from a serious suspension.....but to be honest...enjoyed the legal ride just as much.....to the dicks in cars who post on a biking site about bikes cutting them off or flying past...fuck off.....if they had pulled over to let us by there wouldn't have been a need to go around.

For your profound information dude......they don't have to pull over if they don't want to! They can also post on this site if they want to!
I say if you don't like it then bugger off.

[tri boy]

The "power ranger" dressed sprotbike plonkers that passed me n kanny on the Kopu Hikuwhai rd, on blind corners, tight/no run off areas once again showed that sparkling clean plastic fairings attract fuckwits like moths to a flame.
Same lil wankers that kanny passed on gravel road works, as they wobbled their way through, and passed them again as they compared wank stains/chicken strips at the Kopu pub.

[chanceyy]

I have to say since the bike broke sunday morn & I got a cage ride over I was happy to see patient riders on the way there, but on the way home fark does everyone think they are racers ??

also while waiting for bro to pick me up & here goes a bike 2up, the rider board shorts, jandels & singlet, chick on the back short shorts, t shirt and sneakers, the only safety gear was the helmet .. but hell that really made me cringe could imagine if they binned with all that lovely exposed flesh .. :eek: but also have to say 99% of others had all the gear so that was awesome to see

[cmoore]

thanks to all who replied to my post....like most things in this form of communication...my initial meaning and or intent did not come across as expected…

[Robert Taylor]

Your such a cage driver...what a wanker...get off the road and leave it for the bikes!

How did you get your racebike to the meeting?

[george formby]

Highs for today, watching Craig and Haydon getting 'clean air' over the hump by the dummy grid, the classic sidecars attempting to get drive out of the Suzukis 'S' bends, the lean angles those supermoto guys can get with a leg stuck out in front of them (whats all that about), the sheer speed of those self powered sidecars, the attempts to slow 170+kgs of bike down to tip into the Suzuki 'S' bends. The amount of people you can fit into one 'streets open' car (best count = 6), watching a Harley Davidson kick ass (rider wearing full retro 60's leathers), watching the hay bails actually moving as the quick guys flick past the kink on the start-finish straight!!

An awesome day (as a spectator), well done AMCC, well done PSRC, well done all who took part, role on next year

Summed up perfickly, my first time & I'm still buzzin. Got a photo of somebodys exhaust as they wheelied past the dummy grid knocking the foam off my cappucino.

Has anyone asked Mr Cole what he was thinking at about 10:45 in the video. We were right opposite his fan club when he 'bailed'. Looked like he came in way to hot. Didn't he know the race was over or was he trying a failed stoppy?

[DocMartin]

I was just thinking the same thing, passing under a WAVING yellow flag, AFTERthe race had finished.

The yellow flag was there because I had overcooked that corner on the last lap and crashed into the very same spot that Nick did.

Luckily I had removed myself and my bike from that spot before that idiot came slamming in (I had only JUST moved as Sherrifs and Hayden came past, Nick came third)

Great footage by the way Andrew...

Mate I was with saw you go down, it was just luck the marshal who you can also see in the shot was a few meters down from were Nick was, otherwise the day might have ended even earlier.

Awwwww Stop ya bitching, you had moved your bike before Nick got there so a non event really..........What Nick was doing or not doing who knows seemed weird to me, perhaps asking him might be better than to call him an idiot online tho

He is a very talented rider clearly, and shit happens to everyone dude

[DocMartin]

Sorry bro, but not too many excuses for passing under a waving yellow flag...

[SPman]

Perhaps he had mentally turned off and relaxed, knowing the race had finished.......it happens

[Quasievil]

Sorry bro, but not too many excuses for passing under a waving yellow flag...


the problem was the rear brakes stuck on, I was in the pits with him and biggles, so shit happens to us all

[DocMartin]

right, that explains why he went past Andrew so quickly then, to see if the rear brake was still 'sticking'

maybe he should find better pit bitches that you and biggles next time...

[Quasievil]

I wasnt the pit bitch, I was in the pits, and saw what they where doing.
you assume they stuck on prior to the event in question, I dont know, how do you know this ?

Clearly he went past the rider and braked when he got into trouble, like I say shit happens, and Im fairly sure he knows how to corner a bike and the crash wasnt in his game plan.

I wasnt there to see it, but thats all I know

[DocMartin]

Nothing to do with his fan club on the inside of the corner then...

Maybe he should leave the backing it in to the experts and not when the safety flag is out.

[Biggles08]

How did you get your racebike to the meeting?

I rode it all the way from Auckland cause I'm a 'real' biker Robert ;-)...honest....oh and I was drinking Tui all the way too!

Im not a ''real'' biker anymore, I used to be many many years ago up to my late twenties. As I am no longer a ''real'' biker does that make me a non person in the eyes of the motorcycling community?

[Biggles08]

As Quasi said...best to get the facts first before calling someone an idiot...in fact as I understood it, his rear brake had somehow rotated and jammed on and he was trying to control a skid...which he eventually failed at.

[Biggles08]

you mean facts like passing sombody under a waving yellow flag at speed, seeing fan club, locking up rear tyre, highsiding into bales

Who you calling a pit bitch....BITCH! Come introduce yourself at round 4 of the nationals so I can point Nick in your direction so you can tell him to his face exactly how to ride better as you know it all apparently! I love KB....this is fun :-D

Well then Im glad Im not considering all the bitching and whining going on.

[Robert Taylor]

There was a common denominator with 2 or 3 of the crashes over the weekend. ( excepting the tragedy that occured )

Also very easy to work out.

[cmoore]

well my view of the racing was pretty close up...and it looked pretty clean to me.....the racing wasn't particulary close in any of the races.....although there were some close ones....

They have allowed it again, although your riding style has to be in keeping with the class (or something like that), ie no feet on the ground.

[scrivy]

Nah, they'd be upset that they were dusted by them............. :shutup:

Fair call Shaun, must admit I was a bit heated at the time after seeing the onboard video footage...

Obviously not the place to bring up this shit though, just a bit dissapointed that somebody at this level, about to represent our country at the IOM, put other riders and our marshals lives at risk by fllying past somebody at speed under the yellow flag - after the race had finished

What part of mechanical failure dont you understand, yes he was passing (ask him why) he crashed because his rear brake locked on !!

And of course you put no one at risk when you crashed into the same corner eh.

How about you just leave it alone and find something else to do

I dont want to get involved in a shit slinging match, but im baffled as to why his stuck brake resulted in him passing people. Having had the odd stuck brake myself i have usually found it has the opposite effect. If it was a stuck throttle i would fully understand.
Could someone in the know please afford an explanation as to how it happened ?

Im picking he was naughty and accelerated, and then the brake locked up ( I was in his pits when he came in and they had to fix it)

I think Quasi made it clear in his post Bob that the brake was the cause for the crash...not the overtaking....as I see the vid, it wasn't even overtaking 'at speed' as DocMartin would have you believe...maybe fast for him but in fact it was quite slow for Nick! :-)

I shared an ambulance with him to Thames Hospital, suspected fractured ribs and assorted other bumps and bruises - We had to stop so another ambulance could give him some MORE morphine - he was in considerable pain. I never saw him after we arrived so don't know where he ended up.

Does the yellow flag rule apply after the race is finished anyway, not sure on that one?

I notice from the video also that the yellow flag wasnt being waved by turn one marshall.........for what its worth

Big of ya! Nick is a very good friend, and I know 100% he would not have done what you thought on purpose, he has a brain.

IOM,, NO WAY mate, he is not going there

[Shaun]

[Biggles08]

Not according to TV3 news this morning Shaun...and the box for donations to help him there out the front of our pits on Sun... he definitely is going to IOM. :-)

[Toot Toot]

Does the yellow flag rule apply after the race is finished anyway, not sure on that one?

I notice from the video also that the yellow flag wasnt being waved by turn one marshall.........for what its worth

Yes Brett, all flags are applicable until you have left the circuit. Riders do on occasion crash on the warm down lap and following riders should be warned, this applies for debris flags etc, you may not know of oil put down on the last lap until after you cross the finish line and go into turn one for example.
If there was no incident between turn one marshall and the next point then he dont need to wave his yellow.
The only time all ponts wave their flags simultaneously for motorcycles is RED, or AMBULANCE. For cars you can add waved double yellow for full course caution and safety car.

[Gremlin]

Not all points have reds tho. Paeroa, reds were at s/f, 2, 5, 9. The rest of the points use waved yellows in a race stoppage. Yellows were out for first lap of each practise session to show riders where the points were.

[Deano]

Does anyone know how Peter Tanner is ?

What an awesome day out. Good racing. Good weather.

Bitch of a trip back. Heaps of traffic lots of fucken coppers as well. Assholes!

Had to laugh.
Sometimes I think bikers are no more onto it than the average car driver.While everybody was using SH 2 like a pack of drones,I was doing 140 kmh (in perfect safety) up the canal roads,along the Miranda back road to Mangatawhiri and over the Bombay back road to the motorway. I saw two cars and about five bikes using the same roads.Some of which should be disgusted that they could not keep up with an "old man's bike" with 45L givi bags attached.So much for shiny sprots bikes

[JayRacer37]

He had clipped his footpeg on something during the race, which had bent the holding bolt, and as he does NOT normally use th rear break whilst racing, this was the first time he had used it, and as the peg was loose and the bolt was bent, the break leaver got jammed on causing the issue

[snapoff]

I dont think its got anything to do with whether they have shiny sportsbikes or not, maybe they werent prepared to open the throttle as much as you.

If you believe any sportsbike made in the last 25 years could not keep up with your "old man's bike" doing 140kmph then you honestly should seek help.

Lol. You're a fine one to throw shit at peoples race pace. Your own is laughable. For the record, I seem to remeber Doc Martin giving Nick Cole more than one hiding on track. He's far from a nobody.

And as for crashing because the rear brake jammed, you know this how? Oh that's right, the lever was twisted and jammed when he got back to the pits. Moments after he crashed. Hmmmmm. Couple of grains of salt with that explanation anyone?

For the record, I don't give a fuck whats what but if one racer wants to have a moan about another racers apparent disrespect for flags, good on him. Telling someone to quit bitching simply because they hold an oppinion differing from your own is laughable in itself.

[Pixie]

I considered that that may be the case,but each time they raced up behind me on the straights and disappeared behind me through the twisties,I thought it less and less likely.

Sheesh, thats a tad mean isnt it.

Nick said his brake locked on, it looked like it locked on, so Im picking it did lock on, Im fairly certain he knows how to take that corner faster than most ...........dont you agree, Im also sure he prefers not to go crashing into bales of hay.

I crashed in practice - Ididn't hit a forklift - I didn't die . I did go back to do a bit of CSI on Tuesday and found a few bits of my bike, worked out where I went, there was another set of marks that went about 50 meters - he must have been going REALLY fast !!!

hows it goin m8 nick cole here ive upset you i see with my riding. as to the yellow flag on the slow down lap, yes i did not see that an had to watch the vid for myself coz i had no clue it was there( my bad i accept this). to the brake thing, my peg got bent in the race before an came loose during this race an as shaun said i dont use the rear brake during racing as there is 2 much engine braking as it is. i applied the rear brake entering this couner not expecting anything 2 be wrong which there was so as i applied the front brake also is were u c the back try 2 come round on me just before i hit the bails. it was somthing that i dont wish on anyone i was just luckey! sorry to offend you

Cheers
Nick Cole

Wouldnt think so, Sportsbike riders are into the handbags at 20 paces, Moto riders talk face to face......I actually mean that to lol

I thought Motard riders were the only cross dressers Quasi? An identity crisis of whether to race on dirt ( what they are made for ) or to ride around on tarmac...............Seems odd. I guess at least unlike the true puddle jumpers most of you wear your hats correctly!!!!!

nah Mate, sportsbike riders are mostly made up of posers, this is why true bikers jump on to a bike not built or designed for track use with about a 1/3 rd of the power and kick there arses.
