    Bruce Anstey

    Ok I have read all the accomplishments of Bruce Anstey and seen as much of his riding as I can on youtube (not many videos so...) but I haven't really heard of him or seen him race in NZ. So what do you guys know about him? Does he race any races in NZ at all? Is he a pit brawler, nice guy or general nutter? Ok yea IOM win I guess I just answered that one...

    I've spoken with Bruce a few times, and have found him to be an unassuming nice guy

    Yea well I've read he can be quite quiet and a nice guy, not a loud knob jockey like some racers can be... But they always say nice things about the person they are talking about on racing sites.

    Rumour has it that he only does a few races here and there and focus on the iom and nw200 mostly

    I was lucky enough to speak to him several times when he raced back in NZ about three years ago

    he stayed at my place a few years back with his crew when he OWNED 600 sport prod on the ZX6R at the nationals.

    He is a nice guy,kinda quiet,but obviously a very good racer indeed.

    He was not always as ambitious as he is now,he can go as far as he wants to in this sport,he is certainly talented enough IMO.

    It's cool how he races with virtually the same helmet graphic as Graeme Crosby used to and goes and owns the Irish roads unk: From what I have seen he seems like one of those riders with a very spectacular style. I was watching a video of him a while ago charging into a 10kph (at race speed) corner ringing the gixxer up the gauge until the last second, braking so late the back started swapping but he just threw it into the corner. Not sure if he was intending to do that but I liked it! lol

    I'm lucky to be able to call Bruce a friend

    I've known him for years...and he's a genuine GC. I've done a lot of road racing against him, and while he's a fierce competitor, he rides safely and cleanly. Next time he's back here...approach him...he'll always spare you the time of day.

    Did you manage to keep up with him within a few seconds a lap while you were racing with him?

    A photo of the man, just before going out to win the Superstock TT in 07...the same race that Shaun was injured.

    Has anyone noticed that Kiwi bike racer's tend to be nice people as a whole?

    Think names like; Bruce, Shaun, Graeme Crosby, Richard Scott, Dr. Roger Freeth, Vicky, etc. Anyone know any "not-nice" racer's?

    Ive talked to him once at the northwest 200 last year and seemed pretty nice but like others have said he's pretty quite. Some racer though

    Pete's not the sort to blow his trumpet publicly, so I'll point it out.

    Crasher holds the lap record at Manfeild for 883 Twinsport. Racing against Bruce. Two fierce competitors in their day in a number of classes.
