Thanks for asking scracha instead of just attacking

The point is, he WILL do very well there, and in a field of 30 + bikes, will show just how good he can be!

Choppa Know's how I feel and think about his abbillity, and that is what matters to me.

Cheers

Years ago I knew a bunch of guys who used to play a game whenever they went on holiday together. They all used to hide one of their turds and the person whose turd was found last won the game.

On one trip away the turds were gradually found - one in someone's sleeping bag, one in someone's shoe, one in someone's jacket pocket, until on the way home only one persons turd remained unfound.

When the person was asked where they hid their turd he replied "why do you think I was the only one who didn't touch the jar of mayo".

For some bizarre reason this thread reminds me of that game.

If you have a sound sponsorship arrangement and both parties are happy and sound contracts are in place I cannot understand why you would think it is any business of yours who approaches that sponsor after the fact, no matter how good or bad there proposal is.
As in business it would be far better to let all that negativity go and concentrate on continuing to provide that sponsor with the good exposure/return that you have obviously created than to concern yourself with what others are doing. If their approaches are as unprofessional as previously stated I wouldn't think there is anything to concern yourself about, in fact I would think it would only make your position stronger.

Exactly.. to quote Eddie... "If you cant understand that.., you never will... !!!"

I don't think he's having a go at him, it's just natural to assume Australian's are better at everything

Fogg's deal was done directly with LG though with assistance from an employee of Punch, one of those not what you know but who you know type deals. For the record LG got extremely good coverage for a pittance, Fogg sold himself short as he was desperate for cash to go racing. The sum involved was ridiculously low.

The Tracer/Radisich's deal was done directly with LG but brokered by Murray Brown of Carnegie Sports who have a long time association with LG through their rugby sponsorships (Carnegie is owned by Grant Fox, Murray Brown is a long time friend and supporter of Paul Radisich). Punch or 'Martin' had nothing whatsoever to do with the Radisich deal.

But I digress from the intent of this thread.

mmmmm technically i'l concede i was by the slimmest of margins slightly wrong, team principal dealt with lg via brown but substantially correct in that in no way was punch involved, still at least i wasn't bare faced lying.

Sorry mate, it was certainly not my intent to belittle anyones efforts. I am well aware and eternally gratefull to every single person working behind the scenes to get more riders on our grids. Please be aware, there are things happening within the LG team to give some different riders some support.

That being said, it may transpire that not everyone aggrees with the decision proccess. That's just tough. It'll be done the way the team wants to go ahead.

As for opening my eyes. They're both wide open mate, and I still can't see shit. Lol.

PS, my wife knows
I am not gay

Or if you are still going to bring semi naked chicks to the track make sure in future they're hot - not just a little bit skanky

**Patch** · 29th May 2009, 10:58

skanky chicks are the only way some of these plebs will ever get a root
