Team KB --I wonder??

**FROSTY:Me** · 8th March 2006, 21:29

all this talk and idea tossing around got me thinking.
What if we got rolling with Team KB.
we now have two national level F2 riders a couple of f3 riders and a couple of 125 racers based in auckland. -not to mention the sidecar and bucket guys.
what if we actually created team KB ??
Theres economy of scale could be had here--instead of one set of tyres we are buying say 6 sets. Its gotta be better
Mind you tis but an idea

Could also solve the sponsorship issue... companies may be more interested group sponsoring six bikes rather than one.

**SwanTiger** · 8th March 2006, 21:42

Yep, sounds interesting...

I am starting to get into Bucket Racing (picked up first bike last night) and would be keen in being a part of anything like that. Should I deem my ability worthwile I might consider loosing some weight and moving on to bigger things.

Definitely in the right direction Frosty.

Can you post it up, Glen?

**ZeroIndex** · 8th March 2006, 23:26

Yeah... where's the artwork... post post post....

*Edit: argh, didn't see that SpeedMedic... oh well... nevermind...

Now THAT'S a good idea!!
It sounds like a fair bit of informal co-operation is already happening but this has got some serious opportunities. It would be difficult to organise but the bulk buying power alone would make it worth the hassle. If you were prepared to standardise on oil/tyre/filter etc suppliers (in exchange for signage display) you might be able to really push the point.
I haven't been to a track day in NZ (relocating from the West Island) but do you have lap timing available? Are race bikes allowed at track days? If the answers are no and yes then the team could all standardise their receivers and lob in for just one transmitter while negotiating a group discount.
The possibilties are huge, a brainstorming session at the "Elbow Benders Arms" may be in order....

Yep - lots of them - made of lead. Gotta reduce your power-to-weight differential somehow

**froggyfrenchman** · 9th March 2006, 12:13

**MSTRS:Me** · 9th March 2006, 12:17

You'd best go this Sunday. Zac & I may not be there this time, so you will have a better chance eh?

**froggyfrenchman** · 9th March 2006, 12:21

Sorry to hijack thread. i will stop now. You too mate, Bad mstrs!

You can add one more idiot into F1 soon as well Tony, as soon as me new credit card comes through, i'll have all the bits n peices i need to race, minus a worked engine with 180bhp (anyone got one spare).

Sounds like you might be onto a bit of a plan Tony.

**enigma51** · 9th March 2006, 12:54

Souns like a good plan.

**Sketchy_Racer** · 9th March 2006, 19:05
