BEARS Round 2 2009

[Suzi Q]

Sorry Muzza, I will check the points again tonight for you. Can you pm me with your bike details so i can get it all straight for you. What is your bike number as well!!!!! It is FUN sorting out the placings!

As TP is a 1980 bike is there any reason why I couldn't go off the back of the post classic's with it?
Just a thought, for a bit more track time next time.

Cheers
Muzza

BEARs won't allow buckets to cross enter other classes

One thing has me scratching my head But its a good thing. We're in a recession, moneys tight bla bla bla, so can someone explain to me why the number of BEARS bikes has gone up significantly?? I would say F1/F2 has increased by half. Not only that, but some of the new bikes that turned up were worth a fair wad of cash- there was an MV (actually think I saw two), an RSV R factory, another RSV of unconfirmed type, an 8 valve monster with ohlins bits, a couple or three new 675's and a few other tasty bikes I hadn't seen before.

Any theories?

Everyone says that money is tight and there is a big recession on blah blah blah... But I reckon it means sfa for bike racing in general. Bike numbers for nationals are down, not because of the "economic downturn" but because of poor management and advertisement along with a few other factors.

Hopefully some of Stroudys ideas come into play and we can see that turned around!

Instead of shelling out for that $100K boat, $20-30K would be easier to get pass the missus?

These guys were there, after a morning ride. Only saw one MV racing, maybe I missed the other

Yea had a big perv at these. hmm i think these are worth more than 20-30k each...

[dangerous]

Don't forget the day was shortened due to a few crashes requiring ambo's and cleanup. I heard a rumour that they had to call it earlier than expected as the ambulance was off site.

OHHH... they always have an excuse to finish early, all they wana do is get to the pub. (there were 2 ambos on site at the end of the day)

yeah a fun but bloody cold day, so I decided after the 1st PC82 race were I managed a 3rd Id start of last and play catch up... the track was to cold to go hard (the amount of accos showed that)
If buckets, I have no idea were I came... dont care as long as I have someone to toy with.

No I'd say you were right- it was an unconfirmed sighting.

I went out to Ruapuna for a Friday arvo session on May 29- there was a guy with a red 848 there. I wonder if its in that pic? I was very nervous about passing him, didn't want to assist in messing up such a nice bike....
