Parts falling off bikes & noise

[Trudes]

OK, so things have been said, hopefully those whom it applies to know who they are and are fixing the issues and know to ask for help if they need it.
Nobody panic....

Says the guy who red repped me and for what!?!?!
I have trouble taking peoples advice often was not meaning anyone in particular. This thread NEEDED to be put up, people were spoken too and they ignored the advice or told people to F-off hence the need for this thread!!

Did Chris actually go up to the person, and tell them the bike was up to standard. Did they actually tell him to F-off/ignored him. I strongly doubt it.
If people ignored your advice, and you thought its was a true danger, you should tell Chris/Skunk as they can actually do something about it.
The final decision is on them.

Im with Trudes =).

Ummm,...Kyle,..over the weekend I did tell the people concerned that their was not up to standard while checking crash damage etc. Most of the time I got a "yes, I'll do something about it", sometimes not.
I'm not going to harp on about it but more move on at the next meeting and get some standards established.

Look, we don't want people to get pissed off & disinterested in buckets.
It's only going to kill the sport down here.
Let's help.
I'm happy to give whatever I can to people who need help setting up etc their bucket. !!

YES, me and Malcolm and Dave, among others stood there and watched while one of the people threw a tanty when Chris told them they could'nt go out.

We HAVE to look after the organisers and oney the rules. Otherwise organise yoru own event.

Sorry lads wasn't aware of this.

I totally agree with everything you say here. Typical me rushing in with not all the information.

Standards set should be good.

I'm happy to help if anyone needs a hand fixing there bucket. (Limited knowledge, but can weld properly now)

Anyways good luck for the weekend Chris, will be at the trackday.

Hmmmm you guys get a lot of leway with noise etc from what I have read on this thread.
John Connor, in Auckland, rules the track and if he says you cant go out, then you damn well cant. He relies on us to be sensible and ensure our bikes are safe.
He will black flag you and make you leave the venue if you dont listen.
Yes it's tough, but we want to keep racing there.
He gives us fair warning when they are doing noise testing. Everyone knows that if your bike doesnt meet standards on the day, then you dont ride that day or any other day until it's fixed.
He always gives a check of the bikes after an accident (even if the rider doesnt really know he's doing it) and gives a brief look over the bikes at the start of the days first races.

If anyone is thinking of riding Taupo this Xmas, then make sure your bikes meet all the standards, or you wont ride.

That sounds fair to me.
Shit happens, things rattle themselves loose and fall off sometimes, but if every time you take your ride out on the track and shit falls off then maybe more care needs to be taken.
I think it's good practice for us to get our bikes up to standard and keep them in good condition, makes it easier when we travel away and don't have to piss about at the track lock wiring sump plugs and stuff that really should already have been done. Or worse yet get turned away and told you can't ride after spending $$ and traveling for many kms to get there.
Sounds like a lot for the organisers (Nudey and Bayden) to do, especially if they want to ride also. Maybe some of the responsibility could be shared around some of the others and as riders we could all pull our heads in and make it a bit easier for them by making sure our shit is sorted before the day.
I say once again.....
