    I'm not attempting to belittle or marginalize NZ motorcycling, just wondering who you might be referring to.
    I'm guessing that if you were trying to get a ride in an overseas team and your CV had NZ Champ on it part of their "due diligence" would be to check the MNZ record books. A non sanctioned event wouldn't show up.

    Of course if you are applying for a job like chief scientist for the defence force you can bullshit all you like - they can't be arsed checking

    I got the voting email had a look and well didn't vote as i felt i didn't really have the information to make an informed choice.Apathy won

    I was thinking at the time We never used to vote for the president in the old days did we?
    I thought it was vote at club/delegate level then the chosen board voted the Chair etc. Is that how it used to work?

    NZ Supermoto championship was the Tri Series in '08 and '09?
    there has never been a MNZ NZ supermoto championship, there has been a non MNZ one in about 04 at Taupo and Tamaranui, Paul Brown won it, Aaron Slight raced it as well,

    You're over qualified....
    Apparently you have had to play rugby for Wales, and coached a bob sled team in the tropics though.

    you must have been shaken as a baby, per capita NZ has produced many a fine internationally able motorycle racer over the years and yes during the New Zealand Superbike championships this year the live broadcasting statistics showed we had interest from many places worldwide.
    furthermore when our competitors go overseas if they have results in NZ it is certainly looked into

    Recognised by the FIM,The world governing body,

    IE, If you hold a National title that is recognised under the FIM umbrella,You become eligible for wildcard entries for World championships in your recognised class,Also it can mean millions of dollars in sponsorship if you do have access to world titles,A good example is Stroudy when he was doing world supers,If he won an NZ title it enabled him a sponsorship deal worth close to a million dollars,If he got 2nd,The deal was off,Imagine how that would work with your "out of a weetbix box"title organised outside the FIM parameters.

    Basically without recognition from the governing body,Its like Dan Carter and his brothers holding their own RWC,In the backyard.
