This kid is going to to be something special

[Billy]

WORLD of difference between smoke and encouragment. The old saying of learning to walk before running springs to mind. We aim to take some of those who have begun running..... and teach them to walk a little better at MCC this year. So many have never learned the fundementals.

Yip,You got it,Encouragement when its deserved and the competitor is/has shown a vast improvement is earned,

Smoke blowing is as I stated earlier,Telling someone theyre fast,when theyre a couple of secs off the pace for the said class.

Be very interesting to see who learned anything from Luke when the season kicks off next year,I know of 2 that most definitely have,How many of the rest will turn up and just try to match him without making significant change???

I like jamie, he's the man, alot more relaxed than most. It will be great to watch him grow and grow.



People are different, some need to be boosted and tell them they are the man. Generally speaking the more successful one's just get down to work and get it done.

I understand what you are saying. Not sure what Billy means exactly. Some riders will be better than others, some will learn from experience or coaching, others may hit the brick wall of talent or confidence. The suggestion that any rider who is off the pace should go home and stay home is bollocks. The sport needs riders of all calibres or it dies. This winter series entries are looking pretty sick. 3 guy's racing for 7th place are as important to the sport as the winner.

Can you give us an example?

What planet are you on now Gasman???


Where did I suggest anybody should give up or go home cause theyre off the pace?????Absolutelty they should stay out there and learn whatever they can,Somedays you just get to suck it up no matter how bad it gets,Thats how life is !!!!

The comment I made was in regard to those specifically learning to get to that top step and I stand by my statement,You won't get them there by lying to them,Encouragement when they show improvement is what is required,Not bullshit!!

Tell the kid to go to university, that way he's got at least 20% chance of earning a decent living.

Like at Taupo when Sarah stood me up at the Hairpin and you wanted her to apologise,My exact words were"Fuck off thats what Ive been trying to get her to do for 3 years"....Thats encouragement,Did I tell her she was fast????NO,Luke was fast end of story,Had I told her she was fast,That would hev benn smoke blowing,Got it now???

Not really, but I guess you are suggesting I'm one of the smoke blowers.

Think whatever you want,I never had any one person in mind when I made that statement,It was just a generalisation

Too phuckin cryptic for me dude.

Nooooow who's talkin shit?

In New Zealand, (and it pains me to say this), motorcycle racing is a hobby. Our bikes are toys, and we are merely playing.

We haven't exported a world champion road racer since before I was born. Lets qualify that further. Mr Bugden has won our national points series three (I think, might be two) times...He has never won a single superbike race in Australia.

I know I'm being a dick, and that kid pictured could wipe the floor with me on a race track, but lets not suggest the lad is going anywhere at all, untill he can lap every one of our tracks under the lap0 record. Because truth is, he is going no where in the sport if ha can't do that with ease.

Jamie, I reckon you and yours are fuckin tops. All you do for so many people is amazing, I just get grumpy sometimes for no reason and this thread has pushed buttons.

I'm not a member bro. Suppose I'll have to be this coming year though, full season of sidecar foolery got our name all the fuck over it.

Are you fuckin retarded?

Billy has been clear and succinct answering you everytime you say something. Is there some axe being ground here, the rest of us might be let in on?
