NZ land speed record?

[jellywrestler]

Those in glass houses...

should have sex in the basement..

if no-one points out the spelling or Rodger Freeth or McIntosh correctly then it just goes on, even this year the post classic ass had a Freeth theme to their meeting, and despite it being pointed out to several people quietly early on a number of times in the programme the spelling was wrong.
they say the squeaky wheel gets oil.

The most impressive current record, has gotta be the 250cc one.

All the rest are surprisingly low...except maybe the 50cc. 80mph is fair hauling.

Fastest 250 G.P. bike - speed trapped in race spec, on a circuit - was an Aprilia, it was clocked in Estoril `09, @ ~185 mph..

BTW: Rodger Freeth's MacIntosh is on show at Honda Country at present too

no it's the first one Keith Turner GS1000 machine, he was the yoshimura agent for nz. Hiscock rode it first then Freeth. handlebar fairing or 1/4 fairing as some called it was as much as it got.

I suspect you'd have to be a lot prettier before you had jelly on your face....
It's spelt "Lower Cashmere" (ChCh joke, sorry)

Don't kmow what Rodger rode at that GP, I wasn't at that one, but Kirb had a pic of the first corner with two Roberts bikes leading. I think Holden on the plastic and someone else on the alloy version.

Don't know what Rodger rode at that GP, I wasn't at that one, but Kirb had a pic of the first corner with two Roberts bikes leading. I think Holden on the plastic and someone else on the alloy version.

I think Robert crashed the Plastic Bike at Sydenham races, or was it just before and broke his leg. At his funeral they said he asked his mum if he could race again and she was ok with it once he'd got his cast off, some time later she found it in the back shed, he'd cut it off himself....

Rodger wasn't entered, at least he's not in the program and I don't remember the bike being there

Holden was entered on a GSX1100 EF for senior proddy and it just says Suzuki 1000 for F1

Holden did crash at the Sydenham race although I think it was practice and broke his leg, I think the track layout was changed as a result

Well the reason Kirb had the pic on his office wall was that he was in third place on an 1135 at that point. The gear linkage on his bike was plainly visible as having fallen off the engine...He finished either 3rd or 4th stuck in I think 2nd gear. It was a very short circuit....

Yes - and more ornery than ever. Last saw him a couple of weeks ago. Doesn't really follow the bikes now, more cars.
Not on line either...as you'd expect, LOL.
