[DELLORTO]

Dellorto,

You seem to end up in the same position of criticism a great deal on here! You may want to think about what you are saying and what kind of impression you are making. Even if you have great talent on a motorcycle, you will no go anywhere with it in this country with a bad attitude. The attitude that you display at the moment is one of "If I don't win it is my bikes fault and everything should be given to me because I am talented". That will never win you any supporters!

If you ever want to take road racing further in NZ you going to need either rich parents or support from outside sources (Sponsorship etc).
As a hint sponsorship pools in NZ road racing are small! So small in fact that some of NZ's best road racers are having to sit this years national season out! (Which is a huge shame)
One of the most important things sponsors will be looking for is attitude! Yes that is more than likely going to be more important to a sponsor than results, because a bad attitude can have a very negative effect on a company if word gets around.

As a side note, get some sprockets for your CBR125, it will be more than capable of keeping up with the FXR's with a little fella like you on it. Remember less weight is equivalent or even more of an advantage than more HP so like other have said, suck it up and keep working on riding faster!

i think if you met me you wouldnt think i have a bad attitude.......i love to race and thats it. Until you've met me i think its fair to say dont judge me.

Im going to ride what i want, i dont mind people giving me pointers, but i dont like the crap that comes with it.

Good point Rob makes he was managing good times on his GP & he's not a young or small chap.

Why go all "Aww but I'm not winning I donwanna play anymore unless I can win". Get hard & ride faster. This may take some time. Took me years. Why do you think you will be better?

Bear in mind that in the all in races after the GP there were like 3 or 4 SS150s in front of Rob & I & a bunch behind. Nigel would have seen them all off easily.

Try holding onto a bike for a while & get used to what it can do.

Hi Dave how is the F4 going can you give Nigel a run at the GP ? I hope so I'm not sure DD will have the grunt to get up with Nigel on the 80cc but I think he should sneak away from the FXR's this year but can he sneak away from Rob on his Rocket !!

Well you are judged by your actions & what you say on here, everyone else is. Why should you be different?

. . , but i dont like the crap that comes with it.

Well stop saying silly things & having a whinge fest. You'd do well to listen to Sketchy, he has come up from being an absolutely clueless kid fueled only with enthusiasm. But paid attn with a will to learn. Same with Jay. Bike not fast enough? Ride it faster.

Hi Dave how is the F4 going can you give Nigel a run at the GP ?

um. . .well. . .
I've made progress on the 500. But I've not touched the 100. Kid still wakes up twice a night.


. . . But I have a back up plan.

Won't be pressuring Nigel this year though.

speaking of sprockets-where's the best place to get a front one? would a 13 tooth be the best option for my fxr at mt wellington?

[F5 Dave]

A bike shop. Maybe one at Barrys point. They will be able to order JT aftermarket if they don't have. Fronts are cheap.

What gearing are you running now ?

[Buckets4Me]

Just try and keep the South Island crew in sight .....

what is everyone meant to look over their shoulder

or do we just stay in the pits with all the buggered FXR's

[thecougar 0]

What gearing are you running now ?

whatever was on it when i got it as a road bike...so i assume it's a standard 14?

[Henk]

Standard is 14 / 47 I think. I've gone to a 13 on the front, just about hitting the limiter in 4th at the end of the Mt Welly straight running anti clockwise.

[bucketracer]

It looks like most of the "A" grade and a fair few "B" riders from Mt Welly are going down for the TRRS.

I've just attempted to put my name on th waiting list. With luck I'll be living in my van that weekend.
