    Optimistic sellers

    Thread Starter: Rcktfsh

    This trader must be pretty hard to outdo as far as optimism goes. Bike has been on the market for a year now, wonder when the penny will drop he''s dreaming at that price. You'd have thought after a year he might have got round to the little bit of tlc required to get running. ...

    Thread Starter: onearmedbandit

    With only 2 days until the new year, and just over 2 months until the season starts it's time for a new thread. Who's your money on? Will Bagnia do the triple? Will Marc return to former glory and bring us a season in which he dominates? Will Martin secure his dream to win a championship?...

    Michelin tyre shortage

    Thread Starter: SaferRides

    If you've tried to buy Michelin Road 5 or 6 tyres recently, you probably know that there is a shortage and some sizes are unavailable. I have heard that it could be months before another shipment arrives, so if you might need a new Michelin soon, it could be worth buying one now. Sent from my...

    We need you!!!
    To run this event we need a heap more personnel track side......we do not have enough at the moment.

    The call is going out for additional marshals for the 4th round of the Superbike Nationals at Hampton Downs.

    Experienced marshalls will be on all corners but we need support marshalls too.

    You really will get the best seats in the house and have the knowledge of taking part in one of the most spectacular motorcycling events in NZ.

    Please indicate your intention to come and join the ranks of some of the most important group of people at the meeting by either contacting me or anybody from the AMCC contact list http://www.amcc.org.nz/home-contact for more details.

    Remember you don't have to have experience just a willingness to be involved.

    Race teams if anyone on your crew would like to get up close and personal to the action, again get in touch.

    You will be fed and watered and get a little something for you efforts as well as the full appreciation of spectators and racers.

    Thanks in advance guys/gals.

      Bumperty bump.

      Thanks for all the offers of help so far, still room for more!

      Don't forget you don't need to be experienced.
      All corners have experienced marshalls assigned to them for you to work along side, a full briefing prior to and training will be given during the day.

      And to answer questions being asked;

      Venue:-
      Hampton Downs

      Times to be there and where to be:-

      Meet at the long wooden building behind the pit garages.
      Friday, be there at 11am, practise starts at 12 mid day and runs until 7pm.
      Saturday, be there at 7am.
      Sunday, be there at 7am.

      Bring with you a hat sunglasses, sunscreen, stout shoes and it is recommended to brig a fold out chair . Although lunch and drinks are provided extra nibbles and drinks are advised. We will even treat you to a BBQ Saturday evening.

      You will have a full briefing before each day, no experience is necessary because you will be placed with an experienced marshal who will be a mine of information and answer any questions you may have. Your main responsibility's will start with flag waiving (once trained) and move onto other aspects as your experience grows.
      You will not be asked to do anything you do not feel confident in doing.

      Marshalling is a great way to get involved in the racing scene, many racers themselves started their interest in this way. I guarantee you will enjoy your day.

      happy to keep answering any questions.
