    Well the parts for those are quite cheap on Yahoo auctions. Dont mind picking up things like radiators ,,etc ..when it starts to get over 2 kg the shipping skyrockets

    But I assume that crash damage would be the way ..all those bits that break in a fall

    Big stuff such as wheels ( i have a set of forks here ,, require a bit of cunning to get back there ,,,can be done ,,,anyone ship cars back???? )

    Also Knowledge. ..you never know what happens if you ask ....

    Put together a strong package with clear goals and focus . and we can go from there

    Thanks for all the positive comments and reccomendations for the chance on offer here.
    The really sad news is that of the 300 odd views of this thread only 7 people have sent me an email so far to ask to be in the hat.
    For fucks sake if thats all that responds to an offer like this its a bloody sad guage of the desire to race a bike in this country isnt it ?????
    Come on folks Male or Female dont matter to me but i need names to join the 3 girls and 4 guys so far asking.
    The email addy is still listed on the opening post so use it please. There is no official criteria needing to be met to enter for this offer.

    Stay safe and take care.
    Cheers all Paul.

    But im fortunant enough to have a bike now.

    So best i leave the door open for other young fellas without a bike, or without a race bike.

    Great idea paul, i'm really looking foward to seeing a young rider being given a great opportunity like this

    OMG the Glenn (RG100) fan club is building momentum so look out people lol.

    PS; Its not just open to YOUNG FELLA'S so start to apply folks.

    I recon i have about 7 months to select and finalise a rider so delays now will stuff it for everybody.
    Get a number in the cue and lets make this offer what it is, a chance for someone to fullfill a desire / dream thats not normally offered to such a large gene pool.
    Cheers Paul.

    I would go for Quality over Quantity any day. You were looking for 'keen', ther I believe you have those who are genuinely keen.

    Whether they have the x factor is obviously yet to be determined.

    Paul you are a star!
    What a great opportunity for someone to race with a sponsor and bike taken care of.
    I don't qualify for the offer as I am old fat and slow but I wish the lucky person all the best, and many good things to you and the sponsor.

    Will it have to be someone that will race it at lower North Island event or are you open to it going anywhere in NZ as long as it to the right rider? Why I ask is there are some very good young riders(and some older broke bucket racers) down in the South Island who would be tripping over themselfs to have a opportunity like this.

    While I've looked at this thread, and believe it's an outstanding offer, I feel that I'd be better off leaving it to someone else. Maybe that explains the lack of e-mails compared to views
