Well, he did say international riders.............

Why don't you just ask someone else to do the licking........??

Once again...why don't you ask the owners of the site if you can have an 'Ohlins only' bit? They may well link every question about sports bikes to you if you're lucky.

While I have the utmost respect for the work you do, and the knowledge you have regarding all things suspension...I'm getting more than a little tired of seeing you turn every single thread into a discussion of such.

Actually, also in fairness ( and this is not a smart alec reply by any means ) who else is regularly articulating / offering detailed replies and lengthy explanations to suspension questions / technology? Coincidentally my favoured Scandinavian suspension product is undeniably at the forefront of much of todays top supension units, as well as other great companies such as WP, Penske and ( unobtainable ) works level Showa.
Just late today I had a pm asking some suspension questions, also expressing thanks for the input into KB and to not be worried about detractors.

Does this Triumph still count as 'stock'

anyone who gets off their arse and tries to bring NZ racing into the modern age has my vote.

The days of flinging a bike round a track on sat afternoon are long gone, Thats whats clubs are for ,,, )

but just stop and think, there are ( road racing) 10 -20 races a year ????,,,expected fan base 30 000 max??? ( with at anyone time 20 000 turning up at wangas , that will give you say 500 000 dollars from gate sales, tack a few dollars on top for "stuff".....thats a medium sized business....or a handful of smaller one man bands....couple that with... the I dont have any money kiwi ...the poo is starting to slip hough fingers as we try to push it up hill.

What a lot of people do here is join/make a club and Share the deal ...rent /hire/buy a bike...share the cost ..workload...So you pay say 50 dollars a month to be involved in 5 or 6 races a year...as something u want to do,,ie mechanic...

Rallycar people do the same thing

Everyone needs incentive , I think that the majority are not getting what the want from nz road racing at this moment.

it needs to change, and anyone who gets off proverbial and does ..gets my vote.

A very interesting idea and I hope it goes well for you Shaun. With all the current economic issues going on in the world I do hope that the "international" supporters aren't suddenly going to pull the plug as all their money was in an Iceland Bank or USA property!!

And here you go again Robert.

This thread has nothing to do with suspension and how good you and/or your services are. It's about a guy (Shaun) doing his bit for NZ road racing and the upcommers of our sport.

No matter what bikes Shaun has lined up...you'll simply have to find another class to pimp your trade.

The Plug cannot be pulled mate, I have the whole sink in my HOUSE! I own it all!

It can only fail, IF I fail. I will not fail as this game is my passion, and I was good at it, if that sounds like the old cocky Shaun, Sorry folks, but I am back, and still have sponsors from 23 years ago, who are sponsoring my own racing, and a huge percentege of the consumable product that will be used on these Prodi bikes, so pretty comfortable to with my buisness relationships.

The International Buisness side of this, is a Media Marketing firm, The idea behind that, is to market promote New Zealand as well, as New Zealand riders, slight, crafer, crosby, Robert Holden etc are all Kiwi;s who all made it to the top, lets get some more out there ASAP

We are Kiwi.s and CAN do it!

PS thanks to the positive comments coming out of this, I have set myself a Goal, the same way I set myself a Goal to go and WIN at the TT, this is my Goal, and it WILL succeed.

SPECIAL THANKS TO

Woops, That is next month haha

I was on topic and someone else manipulated away from it and agree that on topic it should remain. I do hope that this can work.
