Off the wagon
Awesome results Bruce!All the very best with the Nats. If you could beg, borrow or steal the cash to get to all the rounds, I'm absolutely sure it would pay off with podium finishes!
I have a feeling you will get to IOM in the not too distant future too. GO Bruce!

To those of you joining Bruce racing......remember this.....even the 'Names' are mere 'mortals'. Apart from experience and reputation, they have nothing over you people.Originally Posted by kickingzebra
Respect them sure. Fear them not.
Belief in yourself, or a touch of contempt for them will take you a long way.
Fact.

Great race Report Bruce.
Im really looking forward to seeing you @ Ruapuna, I reckon it would be a good one for you and of course good for the SI racers to have another fast rider on the grid!
See you soon hopefully!

Great write up Bruce and well done. All the best with the future plans.
See ya at the PMCC if you can do them.
"...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

Respect bruce?

Well yeah. I respect anyone that goes racing. But not when it came to racing them as far as 'fear' goes. Too many people starting out confuse 'respect' with 'fear'.
But my point was that it's easy to be mentally beaten by the 'names' before you start.
I came from a moto-x backround when I first road raced. Sure I'd heard of the best we had at the time, but it meant nothing to me as I'd seen some of them ride in the dirt and they were pussies. So I figured they can't be that 'hard'. They weren't, and still aren't. They're only human. They have confidence and experience. Get the confidence, you're half way there.
If you race to finish behind the five 'legends' that are in the same race as you and hope for nothing more than to beat the other people you know, that's where you'll finish.

Yea i need to look at a slight gearing change, i was going to throw a 15 on the front which should see me pluck 3rd down the front straight and give me a better punch in 2nd out of the tighter stuff, got to find 2 seconds to hook onto shirrifs best time, brakes and rear tyre let me down in the 2nd race so can see 38's easy enough, gearing change should make 37's a real possibilty, still quite inconsistent on a couple of brakeing markers, but well get there.
Nationals are looking quite tough at this stage financailly, i think i will be able to make Ruapuna, Manfeild, Pukekohe, i really dont know if i can stretch the extra cash and time off to do the full rounds, should have a better idea in a few weeks, still undecided to what i want to do
Cheers for all the positive comments, i hope i can keep up my pace and keep on improving, i believe i can, so will see.
How about if I arrange to transport your bike around the south Island for you?
And I bribe your boss at Dinner tonight?
And You just Fly in fly out like a superstar?
And we all stop calling you Gay!
All above is serious, and dam fine job on Saturday mate

Bruce, that's an offer you can't refuse!

Go Bruce!

Thank you Sir, the reason I do what I do is because of the old days, so much talent was around back then, and there was jack shit help for them! When I started racing and got my first support from Road and Sport in Hamilton, I told myself I would give back what I had been given

You mean cunt! You're gonna give all of these newbies countless broken bones and relationship woes (speaking for myself there Shaun, as I know nothing about your private life!), all for a reputation as one sick puppy (yours)!?I told myself I would give back what I had been given
Love your work!

Fair weather rider
I can assure you that Bruce's boss will not fancy Shaun's hairy ginga's arse.... Know his boss pretty well
Top Result Bruce, am sure your boss would look favourably on time off for the Nationals
A good friend will bail you out of jail........
But a true friend will be sitting next to you saying Damn we f****d up

Hey Bruce if you do decide to take Shaun up on his offer and Shaun's shakin' a tail feather and smouldering come hither glances in your Boss's direction does grant you a bit of time to go South don't forget to fill us in on where you are working.
It may not be practical and I've got no idea what you do for a crust or who you do it for but if it means we are able to put a bit of good will his way then it's a win win situation.
