Wanna see the GP ?? [Archive] - Kiwi Biker forums

Ladies and gents, through the miracle of technology, I now have delayed access to the motogp season.

If anyone is interested, we could organise regular get togethers to watch the racing. Perhaps over beer and pizza ?? Perhaps on a Satuday/Sunday and integrate a ride into the event.

Can I have an idea of who would be interested in this sort of thing please.

Actually, the venue will be the next thing to organise... My house is waaaay too small to house more than 5 people at once so someone is going to have to come to the party with an offer.... :eek: Anybody ??

Any chance you could burn each GP onto a disc for us Wellingtonians ??

I will pay for disc and freight ?

Well dude, I'm *glad* that you wouldn't go pay for a single download off the MotoGP website and then show the videos in public, 'coz that would be downright unethical. Wrong. Criminal, even ;)

Deano, not that I would ever condone that sort of behaviour :innocent: but I'll contribute for a copy, put me on the distribution list.

Looks like a few keen people down this way. I was thinking along the same lines as you as in a group viewing, maybe at my place, hopefully hook up a projector or something. I can forward the disc to Wkid1 from here if a few others want copies.

Oh yeah, I am hanging for some gp action.

I will pm you with my address and sending details etc.

Cheers mate. Your a saviour.

You, Duckman, would be the dogs bollocks! I'm itching to see some of this seasons action. I'm damn sure that we're gonna see some of the best racing in that class for years. I'm in and would also be more than happy to share in some of the costs.

Sorry for delay folks, We're having some technical difficulties here at copyright HQ.

I can arrange for a viewing via a PC for any Auckland folk whenever you all like. - Perhaps this weekend ?? Sunday even.

Does anyone have jetstream at home ???

Hi duckman, did you get my PM regarding sending details etc ?

yeah I would be keen too,tell me where and how much?

23rd April 2004, 13:33

There is no authentication on the motogp site so you only need a member to supply the URL to the file. So those of you with broadband who can't wait can download the coverage here (http://images.motograndprix.com/multimedia2/269/269391.wmv).

Beware it is 203MB(1h26m of footage).

duckman

23rd April 2004, 13:41

O.k. - it's done I now have the MotoGp, 250 and 125 races on CD. These can only be played on a PC at this stage. I'm too lazy to convert it to MP3 so that it can be played on a DVD. :o

If anyone wants to see it (in Auckland) PM me before 5:00pm today and I will arrange a showing at my place on Sunday afternoon.
Beer will be mandatory!! No beer no entry!! :finger:

Lets say 3:00pm Sunday. I'll give the address out when you PM me.
If this works out, then I'll do this for every race. Maybe :crazy:

Only just read this thread.

I'm keen to be in too, Deanoh - are you coordinating?

Many thanks Duckman. We're going to the Phillip Island round (first time ever to the GP!!) so will be keen to keep up with what happens during the season.

OK, Ive got the disc and a projector, but the laptop doesn't have real player, and I can't install it because of security settings. (Bloody work IT geeks :Pokey: )

Does anyone (Wgtn) have a laptop with real player ?

The alternative is to take my puter into the garage, which is no drama, but laptop would be easier....

I was thinking of watching this Sunday afternoon in the garage with a few beers. Large screen. All welcome. (bring your own beer).

Who's keen ? :msn-wink:

Hi Death. Camping is not a word in my vocabulary. However, there is not a motel/hotel bed to be had within cooee of the track, so we have hired a camper van. At least I will have my own shower and toilet. (I sure as hell hope Doug Green doesn't read this.....he'll never let me live it down)

Are camper vans allowed to camp at the track do you know?

Hi Deano. Don't have a laptop sorry.

Not sure if we can make it Sunday avo, but am very keen to try to change plans so we can. Can I give you a call? PM me your phone number (this isn't a chat up line, honestly!)

Saw your bike at Motomart last night.

Do you mean you can't install any software because of security settings? If it's just real player (which is understandable - damn spyware filled crap), the you could grab this (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail.php3?fid=1054136293), it's media player classic with the real codecs built in. On the same site they have the quicktime codec for mpc as well. So with the one player you can play ever format known to man.

Its a 'work' laptop, and to install you need the IT people's password.

I can play on my puter regardless, just means disconnecting and moving into the garage with the projector.

The site's running a little slow this morning so it'll be 3 hours before I can confirm the file!

EDIT: Or grab this locally mirrored one which should be faster. (http://210.55.5.14/272416.wmv) note - will only be up until Weds morn.

Crikey "a little slow" is an understatement ... Damn near stopped. Will get the CD burned today hopefully guys n gals. :crazy:

Hoon

3rd May 2004, 16:20

Yeah I got it eventually and its all good. At work I put one of my test machines outside our infrastructure with a direct connection to the internet as a quicky and it got raped by viruses even though it was fully patched (got in through a weak password I think).

So I threw on eTrust AV and cleaned it up but I had to kill off my download at 100MB and start again.

Since the machine is still up I might as well mirror a local copy for you guys. (http://210.55.5.14/272416.wmv)
Its only going to be up for a few days though so if you're on dialup best finish it tonight (tomorrow at the latest).

Campers are allowed at the second campsite (can't remember what it's called...)but not at trackside.....where all the fun happens!
Otto burning,burnouts in the toilets/showers,scraps with the secco's,fireworks,even had a water fight with the local fire fighters when they tried to put out our fire........one of me aussie mates (about 6'+ and huge...) took the hose off the fireman and started hosing them with it.....sent 'em packing...... :lol:
the second site is pretty tame......

I think it's called highside or something. I've emailed the GP outfit to book a site, though I haven't heard back from them yet.

If the discs it takes are are standard CD-Rs/CD-RWs I have them coming out my ears, so no worries there... I'll just perpetrate a bit of resource-liberating on my long-suffering employer.

Hello again Folks,

For all those out there who have crappy slow internet speeds I now have a copy of the MotoGp, 250 and 125's on CD.

So I need one Rep from Welly and ChCh to recieve said CD's.

Also, Auckland KBers, would we like to have a show or shall we just pass the CD around?? :wacko:

Well, I'll be doing my second dropoff of a burned copy tonight. I suspect many of us would just prefer to get a copy on CD. I have a stock of blank CDs sitting around but not so many that I can start burning copies in the tens and twenties... if anyone wants to arrange a stock of discs, I don't mind burning a few and running around the west/central/north Auckland area dropping them off. Gotta spread the love, you know.

I agree - But baggs myself outta doing another show as I did it last time and if more than three people turn up .... were screwed for room. :buggerd:
