Paeroa pix (17 February 2013)

[Chooky]

Not much of a crowd there..........?

[silver_duck]

I enjoyed myself... and my son thought it was great (3 yo) - on the way home he was asking to go to motorbikes again. :clap:

[Fast Eddie]

Not much of a crowd there..........?

aye!?? haha, there was enough people that it was hard to find and squeeze into a spot to watch from the sidelines..

was my first time there though so not sure how it compared to previous years

[slofox]

Not much of a crowd there..........?

Looks like a couple nice bums though...:devil2:

[Big Dave]

aye!??

Compared to other years it's virtually empty - in these nice pics anyhoo.

[Devil]

Yeah definitely a noticeably lower crowd number than previous. Might have been related to the $30 ticket price! Not to mention them wanting another $2 for a programme. Hmm. Well at least it made it easier to get around. Was a typical Paeroa scorcher!

[Ixion]

I was there. It was a lot more crowded than appears in the pictures. I thought at first it was perhaps a few less people than previous years but then decided it was maybe that more were getting off the footpath and into shade.

Still hard to edge along the footpaths for the crowds. And the pubs were pretty full.

The bike park areas actually seemed fuller than last year.

[\m/]

Smaller fields than usual, especially the motards.

[boman]

I agree. I thought that the event was practically deserted. Hell at 3pm, you had the choice of viewing positions anywhere on the front straight. There seemed alot of bikes around, but naff all people.

The quietest Paeroa I have ever been too, so far...

[Banditbandit]

Looks like a couple nice bums though...:devil2:

They had more than nice bums . I'd use those legs to keep my neck warm ...

I thought the crowd size was about the same as usual ... maybe a little down ... but still hard to get a good view spot in most places ... hard to walk down the footpaths ...

A good day's racing (apart from the bad incident on the track)

[Banditbandit]

Yeah .. but the main straight is boring ... bikes going passed very very fast ...

[Crasherfromwayback]

Bummer. What happened?

[Banditbandit]

Bummer. What happened?

Not sure - we arrived while it was very quiet on the track ... the announcer finally said there had been "an incident" and it was delayed in getting that sorted ..

Someone I talked to said a rider had dropped it and been hit very hard on the helmet by a following bike ... I have no idea of the outcome ... it didn't sound good. Whether that was the incident the annoucer was referring to I don't know ... but there was certainly an ambulance on the track when I arrived and it took a while to get everything back up and running - that usually indicates a very serious incident ..

Stink one. Hope he comes through all right. Lance busted his leg the same day I munted my ankle in Wanganui in 05.

[boman]

Yeah .. but the main straight is boring ... bikes going passed very very fast ...

True, but I felt that it was a general reflection of the overall lack of spectators, at most parts that I saw.

[mhm]

I was there for the 1st time,racing and weather was awesome but I definitely felt like there should of been a lot more of a crowd and you guys saying it just confirms I was thinking right.meant I got to see all of the track from the different spots though so really enjoyed that and am looking forward to next year.as for crashes saw quite a few but not the real bad one,as per other posts hope the guys ok

[Road kill]

I got there around 11:00 to hear there'd been a bad accident,,racing got going again about 12:00.

Smallest crowd I've ever seen and we watched from several different places "ending up at the 50 meter mark end of main st.

Was another accident that saw one rider taken away by ambo around 3:00,,,guy hit the ground F'ing hard an never moved again:(,,,hope he's ok.

Great day out but I might skip it next year unless the fields increase and the price comes down.

[Chooky]

Some more if you want.......

[bosslady]

I saw the "Incident", several of them actually including the one getting his head runned over, was 10 or so metres away. Not a nice picture to have in my head still... Anyway I had to leave about 4 I seriously struggled with the heat! Also got myself worked up trying not to hit one of the fence posts when I was leaving the reserve in front of all the bikers! For $30 should have got a bloody programme too I thought!!

[SPman]

Stink one. Hope he comes through all right. Lance busted his leg the same day I munted my ankle in Wanganui in 05.
Was that when he bent his brake lever and whacked the bales at the top of the hill before the rail bridge?
Hope he pulls through OK - he's a "bit of a character", is Lance.

[Tryhard]

The people I talked to that were running the bbqs said numbers were down big time on previous years. I asked if they had any thoughts. They suggested that is was the $30??????? I reckon $30 is pretty good value. Would have like to see more trade stalls.

Why were numbers down????

PS if you were the f.tard on the gsxr1000 whom took me on the inside on the way back. You are a :tugger:

[nzmikey]

I am thinking it may have had to do with the NZ V8 Toureres that were at HD again ... Last year they had their debut on the same day & this year they did the same

[madandy]

The Mrs n I hadnt been since '08 and felt the considerable ease of finding a vantage point to watch our favourite corners. Queing for beer in the pubs was less time consuming by far.
I bet the rave organisers are facing bigger costs for consents etc. 'cause a 50% hike in admision is otherwise contrary to attracting more spectators...probably the V8's took a couple thousand fence sitters away...

The Coro loop diversion was worth the expense as always :headbang:

OK.. I'll have a look through those....
It has become harder to get decent pics now with the wire fences everywhere.... I'm sure I got better ones with a film camera 10 years ago..
Anyway,I found this lying on the ground... some camera man must have walked off in disgust and forgot it...

.

Dunno. But I did a shitload more than that on the bridge!:baby:

[sidecar bob]

To be put off by a pitiful $30 admission fee is pathetic.
Competitor entries were $150, I did a full top end overhaul on one bike in the week prior, at whatever they cost, my teams used more than $70 worth of race gas, several hundred worth of tyres & several hundred in repairs resulting from competing at Paeroa, in the weeks to come.
Not to mention two of my riders who flew from Australia to compete.
Seriously, thirty fuckin dollars. Get over yourselves.

[Gremlin]

I enjoyed myself... and my son thought it was great (3 yo)
Just as long as it wasn't your son that was suddenly running out on the track :eek:

Kudos to the fast acting gate man who ran across and swooped him up. I was ready to jump onto the track to slow the bikes, as we were almost getting under way for the race :shit:

[bosslady]

$30 wouldn't get YOU far but it would go far for SOME people who have a lot of passion/enthusiasm and are keen to watch but don't have the cashflow for gas and ticket to match. Not myself personally but would have been me a few years ago... just my $0.02

I guess it comes down to priorities.
Some people would rather spend $30 on lotto tickets that they have more chance being run over crossing the road to buy, than winning & never complain about that, some would rather spend it on a day's entertainment.

[Gremlin]

how did that happen?
Somehow got out of a gate and ran down the track, then couldn't get back through, so turned around and went back. By that time we're all noticing and the gate man is nabbing him.

I had reins and a harness when I was a child... now I know why...

[Madness]

$30 is exceptional value for money when compared to other events.

Some of the locals are hard case. I reckon Paeroa must be the place to go for a really cheap tattoo.

For sure. I'm still waiting to win lotto too, but it's proving hard seeing as I never buy a ticket ;) I thought it was worth it personally, esp as I don't get out to events hardly ever. Next time I will prepare better though, the heat was unbearable!

the Christian Motorcycle Association use a hall that looks out onto the back straight and have decent toilets and cold water all day long most years, that's a good place to spend the hottest part of the day. not sure whether they were there this year though

I concur.
Oy tink it was $25 last year. Would not bat an eyelid at $50. Paeroa & similar NZ races are one of the very few opportunity's world wide to push the fence & watch street racing. A whole day of getting your ear drums burst, watching & smelling NZ's finest nutters old & young on a spectacular array of machinery equally old & young from just a few feet away with a pint in your hand? Priceless.

I think 30$ was ok, it's great to be so close to the riders passing at 200+ kph, seeing such diverse bikes racing together and I've got respect for all the riders. Exspecially for the riders of the red old school sidecar that were trashing it every corner, they were worth the 30$ by themselves.
And it's cool to see 10 years old SV650s still there trying hard and sounding awesome. Love that vtwin sound.

It's good that you could drink ALCOhOL without feeling like a kid trying to hide the porn magazines. And there's plenty of options for cheap booze and food everywhere, and you can pay cash or use any card you want, no big corporations monopoly as it's too often the case in Auckland.

BUT that fucking 2$ program was just wrong. I didn't have cash with me (bought ticket online) and I couldn't give the kid 2 bucks. Didn't know all day what was happening (PA system was awful) and couldn't find out who won what.

Is there a website where they explain the different classes? There was an old yamaha racing with the BMW 1000 that I still don't understand why it was there

[busadayz]

Good on the guys and girls for getting out on track and doing what alot of other people should be doing instead of doing it on the road.
Even the people who finished at the back of their respective races deserve alot of credit for having the guts to go through the effort of "qualifiying" to race there. Alot of time, effort and money goes into it for some that amounts to about twelve minutes of actuall race time. Is it worth it?
I would say so, once at least.
More people need to get into it, they are are a great bunch of people to talk to, and like most motorcyclists happy to help if they can.
I hope to line up on the grid myself 2014. Even if it is towards the rear.

[Madness]

As usual the bike park along the riverbank was well worth a squiz. I thought this was interesting, amongst many others.

[Monkfish]

Speaking of old nutters...

I was at the bottom of the front straight -right opposite fathers tavern, and had an awesome view all day. I could see up the straight all the way to the kink, and round the corner up to the off camber corner up the hill. Soo good.

unfortunatley I saw the bad crash in the last Formula Paeroa that saw both riders go to hospital. :eek5:

But I also saw that CRAZY bastard in the post classic sidecars on the old trumpy. He was absolute nuts! :headbang: Sideways all day from the braking area on the straight, all the way areound farthers tavern, and up an over the off-camber corner. he had some cojonies that guy. you would have to have a death wish to be a swinger for him. (and I hear she is a little crazy) :lol:

But such a good day, I will be back next year, and I hope all the riders pull through OK. :rockon:

[clmintie]

I also don't have a problem with $30, but just out of interest, was there a 'family admission' discount?

I did't go, but for work reasons, I was shooting the National Downhill in Rotorua.

I am relatively sure there was for the online early bird tickets there were, but not 100% on that.

:

Our little coterie could not make it this year:( but that is exactly why I love it so much. All the characters on the track. Another classic side car last year had the swingers shoulder smoking going through the kink on the main straight and his hemlet knocking a bit of hay from the bails. You can't see that from a grandstand!
Oh, not to mention the hilarity in the pits when someone has get off the bike from one race & make the grid for the next one in time.

I will remember to carry loose change for a programme next year.

I remember that chair team from last year. Saw them doing that a few laps coming out of the hairpin - I was standing next to a couple from Aussie who came to Paeroa every year as they just couldn't see racing like that back home. Watching those hell-for-leather shoulder draggers right up close through the deer fence reminds you how lucky we are to have such great bike racing events in NZ.

Number 22 In Senior Classics Please :) , a Yellow Manx Norton.

Had a crash in Race 1 at the Hairpin and then got left behind on the Grid for Race 2 making for a very late start. Both a result of a piece of shit gearbox that is going in the scrap bin....

You could of gone to Hampton Downs the week before and seen it for $20.

Plus It's not just the $30.

That one day of limited field racing where the bikes actually cost me a little over $100 an that was doing it on the cheap.

For somebody on a limited budget,,that $100 will effect my budget for the next 3 weeks.

If the people running the show want to turn it into a "rich only" thing,,,,well good for them but they better not expect me to give a shit when "they" go belly up.

Also what it costs the competitors means diddly squat to somebody struggling to make ends meet,,,I don't have a fucking sponser so next year I think I might take the cheaper option and go watch the cars at HD,,and the classics at HD,,,spend less money an get twice the show.

Actually,,,Fuck Paeroa,,,I can't afford to rebuild "my" race bike,,,dick!

Fuck youre a tool.
Thirty dollars makes it a "rich only " thing? of course its all profit & they have no expenses whatsoever, Bastards!!!
How much are you paying for a tinny these days?
P.S, no wonder you cant get a sponsor Mr Ranty, take a look at yourself, youd probably just call your sponsor a rich cunt anyway.

[R650R]

$30 is sweet for such an awesome event. Didn't go this year as had other stuff going on. Think everyone has gotten used to static prices but forgotten about the operating costs. PMCC club member told me it costs $2K to have St Johns at Taupo for the weekend. Something like Paeroa must be huge expenses with traffic management plan and road closures etc, hiring all those cones and barriers aint cheap either.
The only thing I'd ask for is the pedestrian bridge like at Wanganui, thats an epic idea.
Love how all the shops stay open, me and a mate discovered the Ohinimuri club few years back and usually have lunch and a beer in there for a break, great service.

That's Nick Prestage on the Ducati.
Nicks vastly experienced and has been going really well recently. Doesn't crash much, does alot of racing and is a very nice and humble man. Loves his racing and Ducatis. He's a builder so his injuries will make life hard for awhile.

Good on ya Eric.

Not sure of his age but I do know he's raced at every Paeroa meeting there ever was. I was in their pit when Erics son Rick spoke about getting onto racing but Mum quickly put the kybosh on that idea.

[SILVER SUZI]

Went to Paeroa and loved it. Even though I had to go home 3/4 through the day. As for the program, I bought a tee shirt, that got me a free program.
I too would like to race Paeroa, in 2015. But the missus who is very supportive of my track racing, was less impressed with the idea of doing Paeroa.
Went to HD for the Classic too. but spent much of the time drooling on the bikes in the pits instead of watching the racing.
So I guess the fact that I was able to go to both meetings (as a spectator) makes me "super ritch"! Yahoo, now if only I could find where I put all my wealth, then I too could rebuild my race engine. Until then I'll just do what I can and keep on enjoying it. I wont bother bitching about it.
