    Safety world wide

    Copied from www.roadracingworld.com Thanks

    Perhaps Hampton downs need to spend some money

    My point to the above comment is just like my comments in the past about Pukekohe

    If you are running a buisness in an enviroment that has risk factures involved in it to the customers

    Spend some of your profit, and eliminaste some of those risks

    EDTITED ON THE 1st of January 2010

    I am "NOT" saying Hampton is dangerous, it has a concrete wall that be a problem for bikes and side car racers, so to purchase Air fence for that place, would eliminate any potentuall danger!!!!



    Wanganui CLUB has purchased some for there Profit makeing meeting.

    Yeah, it's a timely concern considering it's almost exactly thirty years to the day since legendary American Cal Rayborn was killed at Pukekohe.

    Good article here: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2003-Dec/031229b.htm

    "Guys who have family's should not race." - I don't totally agree, but think having a family might slow you down a bit.

    Stroudy and his 7- life goes on, and if it does not, YOU were not meant to be, so move on.

    I never wanted children due to this, and my father dying when I was 9, I realised children need a family, so avoided them at all costs! Untill I got my little daughter Petra then I realised that life does go on, so on I went, and On I will keep going.

    People go on and on about as " Long as you have fun racing" BOLLOCKS, it is about the competion first, and fun last, when you are naturally a competitive person, NOTHING will stop you from pulling the trigger

    Yep even if your only competing for 27th place - It's more fun to "race" someone than to "circulate" - If I learn not to crash I might even compete for 24th place

    Each to their own but having two little boys has slowed me down a lot, put me off moving from F3 to supersport, and got me into trial riding instead. I'm stuffing around on a chook chaser a bit too and that has injured me more than my F3 bikes ever did! Haha there you go.

    Live safe so you can live long enough to slip over in the shower and smack yourself in the head and die that way. What was Burt Munro's famous quote? Something like "you live more in 5 minutes on a bike than some people do all their lives"
