Dan Stauffer, King of Paeroa!

3 from 3! No surprises there then. To all those who thought he was lucky at Wanganui,,,,, WTF!

Obviously his supposedly inferior suspension was more than adequate..

He got lucky on the 26th as he did today! Lucky I wasnt racing:nya::innocent:

Yep i think the title says it all, he totally dominated the races and was simply miles ahead of the rest.

Was another awesome day at Paeroa but I have to say that the races are starting to become like processions - still love it though :)

[wayne]

awesome rider

[Robert Taylor]

So who of the regular fast riders wasnt there? I think it was a very long list.

Good on Dan though, he will ride the wheels off anything and is prepared to stick his kneck out, warts and all.

Fair call.

Agree to some degree, about the procession. But I loved the Post Classic races,x2. Bloody good duelling up front by the Kawasaki and the Ducati....

[Robert Taylor]

Fair call.

Mods will you please remove this offensive post. I did not say that with the offensive addition and this has crossed a line of unacceptable forum etiquette.

and this has crossed a line of unacceptable forum etiquette.

Probably for most forums you would be right, but it is fairly standard for this one

So what fast guys werent there then
Stroud
Bugden
Shirriffs
Choppa
Fuck I could just about win it if all those guys stayed at home;)

I reckon I'd give you a good run for your money. Heh.

Has Bugden ever raced at Wanganui or Paeroa?

Maybe, but as a generalisation I dont think in any form of communication that its acceptable to either deliberately misquote someone or to embellish / modify in some way that can provoke offence, etc....

One year ago, he got taken out by another rider who had overcooked it and spent more than a few weeks in hospital with broken this and that. Much like Stroud and Shirriffs ( also Choppa and Nick, John Ross ) he is looking at the bigger picture of not risking injury so close to the last two rounds of the National road race champs . Most of these guys are at the sharp end points wise and by and large now regard street racing as too risky and dangerous. That is the stark reality.

Fair call also, they were bloody quick those two as was Glenn Williams Bimota. Dan the Man's R1 though was something else.

He has warts on his neck..?:shit:

Sean Donnelly on the GPZ was complaining about the 60kg advantage of the Ducati! They have been tussling with each other for a while and the Duc has a slight power to weight advantage and being lighter could transition quicker through the "S" than Sean could. Sean saw a way through and got by but then the Duc rider, I forgot his name, closed Sean out next time around. If anyone can suggest how Sean can shave any more kilos off the bike I'm sure he'd be interested. Next step is to ditch the starter which some others have done.

Reality is, that no one (well virtually no one) , actualy road races in New Zealand to earn an income as a professional. Bottom line then is that 99% of us do this sport for fun, the personal challenge and the blood rush ego thing that comes with it.
Street racing pays off big time with respect to the fun factor , its also by far spectator-wise more popular than any other form of road racing.
So if we are all in the sport for fun, and profile then its obvious where most of us should be racing.............
Just my opinion of course.

P.S - Of course if its not your "cup of tea" ya dont do em, each to their own in respect to whatever spins ya wheels

I travelled down with Dan to Paeroa last year, we did three laps in the rental car on sat arvo around the track, i asked if he wanted Brian Bernard to tag along as he'd raced there before, he was happy without him, he hadn't watched footage or anything about the track and went out and cleaned up.
Travelled down again this year and we did just one lap before he went off to his accomadation.
He's a weapon alright and he will be back for the Taupo round of the Nationals too so book your tickets early
