It's hard not to get a bad opinion of "the rider who kicked the other rider in the back" here (and also the MNZ Steward), despite only reading one side of the story......

**Sidewinder** · 18th September 2009, 12:19

fuck all that shit, its over and done with leave it alone for fucks sake

What Sidewinder said, drop it and forget it!

And it certainly is not very fair to have only the Meads side of it, I take note that Mead's certainly didn't make clear that it was his son that took out Sam Love in the first place, instead he says who's fault it was isn't up for question. I can only hope by that he means there is 100% certainty that the crash was Bryce's fault, because it was!

Another point to take note is this is the second time (that i know of) Bryce has taken out another rider, the last time he broke the guys collar bone, ruining his season.

and the secont time he has taken sam out

That Sam Love bloke needs to paint a fucken big target on his back the amount he's been innocently taken out in recent years.

I am (and make no bones about it) a big Sam Love supporter and always will be. However it is disapointing that in the heat of the moment and without thinking clearly he alledgedly made a very stupid decision. I'm sure he's remorsefull and embarrassed, it shouldn't have happened. However if I had been taken out twice by the same rider through no apparent fault of my own I'm unsure I would have acted any different.

Hopefully, we can all move forwards from this ugly incident and focus on some great racing from both of these up and coming riders.

Well said White Trash.

The most shameful poison in new Zealand today is violence. In the home, sport and everywhere we look. There is NEVER a justification. If there is a problem with a rider's habit of "taking out" others, deal with it the right way, through the steward. End of story.

I think if the bespoke person didnt constantly try to win races on the first lap by riding beyond his ability there would be less carnage, ill feeling and violence. The finishing position of the rider is more a reflection of true pace.
While Sams actions may not have been justified I can certainly sympathise with his anger in being taken out by a sheer act of idiocy, not the first rider to have suffered at the hands of stock car mentality. We are talking about on track violence and off track violence. Note that I help neither rider, this is as I independently saw it.
Anyway great news Glen re the sponsorship and looking forward to continuing to help you with suspension.

Nicky Hayden might be interested in that line of thought...
