KB racing team?
Have been mulling this over for a while . Some people use the internet like a big resource, u know when you cant see the wood for the trees ask here and someone can put u on the right path.
Well Expand on that a wee bit, We all have skills in ALL shapes and forms, but its time we dont have BUT we ( with the use of the internet ) Share our skills, to help a luck sausage win the nationals ( ie I am tired of the same faces , want to see the underdog win , preferably a KB rider ....Hey whats wrong with that??????)
So What I was thinking was we break down the task of racing into its components, then people can say ,,hey I can do that and because there are a lot of willing hands the size of each task is small ( and easier ).
Lets use ( sorry Frosty , I ll use your bike as an example, though I would prefer u rider a Honda 
)
But what does that bike need to run at the top ,, new fork springs ?? a Gonk key ring ??? well I can supply the fork springs ( They become my fork springs with he understanding that they be used to win the nationals, when finished with I can have em back or what ever I decide to do with em ,, )
I also have skills not great but can do , I design bike parts here in Japan So my skills I would have to offer would be CAD , and Part Purchasing/sourcing
Others here have access to machining equip, Still more have skills in Marketing , Transport , You name it . and as it would be a shared task it makes it a whole lot easier, ie many hands make light work
What I would like to see though is the game of NZ motorcycling lifted to a more professional level
What I mean by this is, we have here on KB people with trades , Engineering shops , paint shops , Free advertising ie the PIT area professionally set up with advertising ( have a careful look how the GP pit is set up ...its the same concrete bunker as supplied at most tracks , but look at what they use and where things are kept. ( the public cannot see the shit ! , such as broken fairings and fuel cans etc . )
the firms that are being advertised can supply their advertising . work with some one here even supply some of the time to help ..
this needs to be co ordinated so that A knows what B is doing , and I am sure that a database , spreadsheet could be used ( Google's spreadsheets??)
If it took off and worked I dont see a problem in other riders joining .....
Just a thought thats all , why does one person have to try and do everything them self when there are others willing to help ?
Who would control this vast empire .... well could it not be made a sub forum / sticky thread of KB? because the mods here do do a fine job at the end of the day ,
What U all think ??
