Because of the number of entries 165+ riders 200+ bikes plus the gp bikes. James needs to get entries shut tomorrow night so as to marktime etc sorted. How about putting an entry in and can be refunded as long as you pull out by Friday.

Looks like we'll have to rename you "Special Needs Bob".

It's a completely stock standard bike, yet they want to know who made the forks, the triple clamp, the carbs, brakes, ignition, hubs, rims etc etc.
By the time I'd got halfway I'd run out of fake Italian male names to insert, I mean fuck, it was a long time ago in Italy, I have no idea who worked at the factory, I just hope nobody else knows that Guiseppe, assisted by Antonio probably didn't actually make the forks.

Bob I'd just rattle of names as you did ie Betor . Marazochi Forks , Girling shocks , Cerani hubs , Nordisk rims , Amal/Bing/Deloroto carbs , Regina chain and sprockets , Tommesalli Bars , Magura levers .
Cause with most Italian brands they just fitted what was to hand . It's getting as bad as the Aussi VMX which states you can only fit OEM parts for State & Nat titles ie NO bigger forks , better brakes etc.

You don't change the details you add another bike.
I agree that Technical Section is a bit of waste of time....like how do you enter a Norton with new crankcases, billet crank, head made in Aussie, 6 speed TT gearbox, brembos they were never fitted with and so on....
All you do is put MV for everything.
Enter the Motocompo

$40 well spent I'd say.

Will we be able to cross the track at Anytime with our pushchairs, and will there be earplugs for sale or free earmuffs supplied?

Don't worry... we got the memo, not a family friendly event.

Very first world not family friendly though.
I'm sure a Syrian refugee wouldn't find it too much of a hardship.

Maybe so.
But from my pov I was down a couple of hundred dollars for half a day.
Not bad for a day out with the kids.
I got to watch about 30 mins of racing for that.
Still OK, as the time wandering around looking at the machines themselves made up a lot for that.
We went home satisfied on the whole but a little bummed that large portions of our 1/2 day were spent unnecessarily.
At this point I still wanted to go again some time.

But then I tried to offer some constructive criticism.
That is where it went downhill.
Ear plugs / muff was just a suggestion about how more money was to be made. Don't need more money?
Crossing of the track? I never wanted to be able to cross at will, just to be told "the gates will be open at x times".

When I go to Nationals, Paeroa, car racing, other bike events this information is readily available.

We won't be coming this year.
Not because of the event last year, because of the reaction I got ( and continue to get ) for offering an opinion.
