As many of you will know we ( CKT ) provide a racing support service at all major road race meetings throughout the year. Usually we are busier than a flea having a fit.

This weekend however we are on the Crown Kiwi stand at the Auckland Speedshow ( ALPINESTARS / OHLINS ) So feel free to turn up with any suspension and bike setup questions you may have, from Buckets to Superbikes. Stock suspension, Ohlins and all other brands. All questions invited

Cheers Robert. I have just bought a CBR150 for bucket racing. Both ends are obviously a bit soft and I would like to be able to alter the steering geometry to enhance it's nimbleness on tight cart tracks. Do you have any advice about how I should vote in the upcoming general election?

indeed, low taxation policies leave more money in your pocket to go racing!

Rumour has it youve got a signed portrait of Helen Kelly hanging on your bedroom wall, right next to the bookcase containing a copy of Der Sturz, a biography of Erich Honecker.

I like a bit of light reading, too! Mum used to read Mein Kampf to me! :)

And taxing capital gains allows the tax base to be spread past PAYE earners (and that is most of you lot out there I would hazard a guess) towards those who structure their affairs to ensure that their 'incomes' are very low, but asset wealths are high, and hence avoid contributing their fair share of the tax burden.

"From each according to his means, to each according to his need"

Nothing fairer than that.

VOTE LABOUR/GREEN!!!

Take that!!! hehehehehehehehe

No, no, no, you have it all wrong.

Das Kapital is the recommended text for this course.

That's what I did.

Robert told me to.

Only mines not a CBR Thai diesel Honda thingy.

Margaret was rather good at doing the accounts and winning wars, something her predecessors were pretty rotten at for a couple of decades. She was the best man for the job and I will shed a tear or two when she departs this world.

She would have made an awesome suspension engineer.

She never actually got elected though, she got in by stabbing her boss in the back ( a time honoured way of politicians gaining power of course )

Ahh maate. First you need to acurately mesure the stering angil with a spirit level & your old skool protraktor & tehn run it into a breezebrick wall a few times until it's prety strait up & down level. Then (I'm prety sure Robert would recomend this method) put about $8.50 of the old style 50c peeces in each leg & some thicker oil, or mayb just some thik warm greese witch will mix in well. Sporty.:blink:

Hey we were off topic & its moron friday.:innocent:
