Thanks RRW

Bloody good effort for a boy who does not do much racing

Bloody hell - a lot of DNF's in that race !
A few 675's and Duc 848's in there (although only one 675 finished and no Duc's)

Ummmm, call me a cunt and all that, and nothing against Dom, but as I read those results, he was the last place finisher.

That's good how?

Hadn't looked at it that way. Thanks

Bloody fantastic effort to even qualify over there in my opinion!

Pretty sure he was racing at Laguna Seca in 07 at the GP when I was there. He rides really well.

Hey Chop. How many other New Zealanders are doin better than him in the northern hemisphere just lately? Dom gets this result with the tiniest of budgets and assistance. Uses old/used gear, sleeps in van and lives on sandwiches A lot less than many people here bring to a club day

**Grumph** · 5th September 2011, 13:17

Amen to that - and he had the guts and gumption to get off his arse and go over there....

Fucken oath mate, I know and follow Doms results pretty closely. Especially when he was on the Superbike, great stuff to see. Doin' it far better than I could ever hope to, that's for sure.

Thanks for the support guys. They were pretty crap results this weekend, alot of problems. Thats just racing I guess and hopefully better things to come.

You're there doing the bizz mate, hats off to you!

Whatever!
He needs a bloody haircut, some shoes and to pull up his pants!!!!!!

Oh and maybe a manager/gopher/mechanic/suspension tech/repairer/etc?.........

By the way Dom, if you are at any meetings where USGPRU are running, go say gidday to Stu Aitken-Cade who runs the USGPRU (did I recall that you already met him in the past??).
I had a couple o' beers with him when he was down here last month.
Genuinely nice guy, for an Air Force wonk that is, and has racing in his DNA and now has NZ on his radar.

Chop? wot was I on about? I meant WT. My real point is, regardless of whether Dom "has what takes" or not, he's the only kiwi in recent times who has dedicated his every hour to going back overseas to do what he loves. You did well Dom, and if you feel there's much better to come, then great!

Yeah, and I'm a bit one eyed, I've been sponsoring him for about 26 years now....
