FACT

As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.

We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.

But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

And rightfully so........... Some politicians epitamised the old country which was GREAT Britain (Maggie Thatcher - Enoch Powell) others thought it should be the new country UNITED Kingdom.
It once was a GREAT place to live........... now it is the waste disposal unit for every ethnic comunity in the Northern hemisphere and plenty from the south too. The working man has been beaten by the dole bludging - asuylum seeking - liberal/do gooding types who are fast becoming the majority.
Even though i was a young man in the Thatcher years with no real political interest... i remember the hope in my parants eye back then.
Sorry Rob dont mean to hijack your post but............. caught me in the moment..as you were.

Its better than a rumour, its fact. In the UK the pommy racing suspension brand have set a dangerous precedent by GIVING suspension units and service to one of the very top BSB TEAMS. Of course all the other teams have gotten to know about this and will also be asking for the same deal. Glen maybe youd ( in the interests of worldwide consistency and fairness ) care to ask the current NZ distributor for totally free product and 24/7 backup service. That will help your racing budget..............

[Robert Taylor]

I heard a rumour you'd be doing the same

The sexy Swedish suspenders we distribute are paid for in Swedish krona which is a strong and very stable currency. Check out the histogram against $NZ over the last year or so, its pretty static. As for greenbacks and sterling its another matter!

Providing a trackside service at much less cost than it really should be is also in effect a form of sponsorship. It ( rumour has it ) gets taken for granted and is considered as normal.

[Robert Taylor]

Its not a rumour that the ''blue bike company'' is in fact Yamaha, who put basically nothing into NZ road racing. So who the hell are you referring to?

[Pumba]

My guess would have been Suzuki. But some one is welcome to correct me

Suzuki = Blue
Yamaha = Yellow
Honda = Red
Kawasaki = Green
BWM = Fuck knows

[Robert Taylor]

so glen how much have cash have they given you for all those commuter titles ?

It just has to be shedloads because Glenns new tow car is a very late model Jaguar. If you become a NZ champion you are awash with cash, both from wads of prizemoney and the barrows of cash gifts from motorcycle manufacturers eternally grateful for the exposure to the 10s of thousands of spectators. ( Who will buy the same brand on Monday ) So are all the local component suppliers, who make obscene amounts of money off struggling racers. In fact I hear that its way more lucrative than the building industry!

I heard they were produced on the same production line as Great Wall utes and then ''badge engineered '' at the end of the line....plus the price''adjusted''

[slowpoke]

My guess would have been Suzuki. But some one is welcome to correct me

Suzuki = Blue
Yamaha = Yellow
Honda = Red
Kawasaki = Green
BWM = Fuck knows

So why is it Blue Wing Honda? Suzuki's flagship GSXR's classic colours are blue and white? Yamaha's R1, M1 and MX bike racing colour is blue, the BMW symbol has blue in the roundel, and the factory S1000RR racing scheme is white with red and blue stripes.

Cool, so we can safely say we've ruled out Kawasaki then....?

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I was referring to the fact that those who actually ride/drive there seem to like it but those who haven't/don't say how bad it is, like rabbiting a popular theme of the moment.

There may be some riders who don't like the track and certainly there are criticisms of the revamp, re: motorcycle safety, but I rather listen to your opinion than a keyboard warrior's.

It is a KB trait to knock something you know little if anything about. I should have quoted your post in my post. You have little to prove and post from not only personal experience, but successful experience.
