I (in my Mobil capacity) am with the company who is the main sponsor of the event it is now called "Mobil 1 Battle of the Streets Paeroa", and as Motorsport manager for Mobil Im keen to do what I can to enable things to be better at the rider level.....................if I can.

Personal Bias , who'd have thought such a thing would ever rear its head on KB, but I really dislike the place. Crowds may hold up for a while but with our top street riders like Stroud, Shirrifs, Love and Cole(not totally sure with Nick) not interested in riding there they will dwindle.

Mate, I'll probably be on the smallest capacity non-Motard there. Hell, the Aprilia 550 motards will kick my arse. I'm hoping to psych out wharfy long enough to pull a swifty!!

I would doubt a lot of the crowd would even know who they were

I go to watch racing I don't go because a "top rider" is there, I'd be more likely to go to watch people race back and midfield that I know than to watch Stroud (cept for Shirriffs cause he's my hero)

The biggest cheers are for the classic sidecars aren't they ?

mate at least you could alter your original post, not like the latest bike trader mag spelling of his name, for a "supposed" top level motorcycle magazine they need a kick in the arse...

That's always what I've been told! That's probably why the solo riders bitch and moan about those 'oil spils' and 'crashes'. Boohoo the crowd loves us ahahahaha

The rugby club around the back usually has a secure gear and bike park. They give you a bag to put your gear in, you leave your bike in their car park and last time I used it only cost $5.00. They had camping on the field as well.

Yep I am interested in a run up from welly.

Mate, I wouldn't trust leaving your gear anywhere in Paeroa unless you absolutely know it's safe, ie with mates etc who are watching it. Sadly, it's a crime invested little town with lotsa thieving scumbags lurking about. That's gunna upset the locals but truth is truth.

The back of my Transit is always a good spot to lock up your gear.
