    Roadracing problems - real cause

    Has anyone noticed that all the crap started when this website forum started?


    Roadracing would improve if this website did not exist.


    What the hell have we become?


    Are we de-evolving into whinging Poms?

    Or perhaps the real cause could be people constantly looking for someone or something to blame. So short answer - YES.

    Why's that mate? Because there would be no public arena for people to voice their concerns? Suppose you think women shouldn't be allowed to vote either....

    Or perhaps, just perhaps, NZ Road racing has been slowly declining over the years and all of a sudden, it's at critical mass, we need to do something urgently?

    9 bikes on the grid at most in our premier class this season. Still no problem? It aint the websites fault.

    Rules changed hurredly as a knee jerk reaction and without proper consultation of the members it affects. Seems rational, better blame that on KB too?

    In the past five years KB has recruited a quite simply staggering number of volunteers, a lot of whom now hold very influential positions within race committees at various clubs.

    This very website (I believe) is very much a part of why the VMCC Actrix series is the most subscribed to race series in the country. Is there at all the possibility this is caused by the fact that VMCC embrace the oppinions of KB posters and take what's said on board, rather than dismissing them as wingers?

    KB enjoys contributions from some of the countries most well known and expert oppinions within the sport, a number of them road racing champions. I wont embarass them by naming names but they are pretty easy to spot.

    I suggest you pull your head out of the sand, read the concerns people are voicing publicly and see if they're not real concerns.

    Cheers

    There is no substitute for good old communication - this site is a brilliant forum and in no way has had any detrimental effect to racing in NZ.

    But you gotta admitt - Society here in NZ, is at times, a real whinge fest. And Kber is no exception. It just shows how important and personal these sports are to all of us.

    Nice guys, yip no harm done here when kept in perspective... I unlike the auther of this thread believe if ya dont kick up a storm then nothing will change and at least you can be happy with the fact you at least tryed, unlike those that do winge yet do nothing to help.
    The forum is a GOOD thing and the good KB has done by far out weighs the bad.

    Nice try, but to be a good troll you need to be convincing.

    I can confirm he is most definitely NOT an MNZ official,Thats just his point of view and hes entitled too it.While I dont agree with 1 word he said hes still entitled too an opinion and it is a public forumHes been on the race scene for over 10 years at the pinnacle of the superbike class and thats just how a lot of those guys view this forum.
