Aftermarket wheels for new National SUPERBIKE rules

[Shaun]

Um Hello Its gone very quiet out there someone please buy a Quality LG heatpump from me Craig here at Shirriffs Installation Ltd we do very fantastic work.
I would say you have to have one or your just not safe.

will you publicly devolge the exspense involved, or do we have to ask you nicely and privately

With all respect tone of response has been unneccessarily combative and unconstructive.

Suzuki NZ didnt want aftermarket wheels for the soild reasons I put forward and there absolutely are no agendas beyond that. Similarly I know I can answer 100% that Yamaha NZ and Blue Wing Honda would have exactly the same opinion as they have no budget and are in retrenchment. With the public exception of Choppa ( and he is entitled to his opinion ) the over-riding opinion of riders and bill payers is we are not going there. Craig Shirriffs has got a good ride with Suzuki and when he put in his budget proposal it was approved in part because he set realistic limits in what is currently a very tight market. Cold hard reality.

And yes a lot of money does get converted into alcohol and smoking pleasures but people arent en-masse going to exchange their pleasures ( what few many have in a stressful society ) to satisfy every importers appetite for sales of high tech products. And I should know! I drink rather too much red wine and undercharge or dont charge for many of my services. But that also recognises that there is not so many people out there with huge expendable incomes and none of them are bankrolled by Eric Watson. One of the many reasons that items such as spare wheels are sourced from e-bay, begged, borrowed or stealed etc. Also, I genuinely like helping people.

I put forward comments about wheelie control and Shaun also chimed in about it, a rider that has had long experience here and overseas and has won a major international race. We have a high proportion of tracks with low grip surfaces and tight corner exits, compared to relatively fast flowing Euro tracks. That means the bikes come off the corners in low selected gears, placing an even greater emphasis on wheelie control.

When you improve one area of technology there is all too often a negative by product and other technologies have to be either modified or introduced to negate such issues. It so happens that being a distributor of a premium suspension product ( and there are more than one1 ) I get to talk to the very engineers involved in MotoGP, WSBK and WSS600. Ive also spent time contracted to Ohlins doing WSBK pre season testing.
Wheelie and traction control are 2 big issues they talk about all the time and that is why there are so many electronic aids on MotoGP and Superbikes, bikes that use lightweight wheels and in MotoGP light everything else.

At this point not too many production bikes have such sophisticated electronic controls ( although in fairness its coming ) and given the nature of our tracks its not unreasonable to ask how unwanted wheelies can be controlled without harming corner exit speeds. I would reasonably hope for a race engineers answer.

LOL funny shit

[codgyoleracer]

Im glad everyone has taken so much interest in a class they have nothing to do with. MNZ must have a hell of a time wading through all this sort of shit to try come up with some rules.

A meeting with the 8 riders that bothered to race the Nats and im sure we could have had no hassles

Choppa, dont you know that just about everyone on KB can ride a superbike at 9.5/10ths ?.

"A blonde complained to the commerce commision about the invoice she got from Craig Shirriffs to pay for her heatpump?.
She insisted that Craig guaranteed her "that it would pay for itself within the first year".

More pies eh Craig !!

[Maido]

To be fair, I think aftermarket lightweight heatpumps are not a good thing to introduce to the superstock home class. Allowing aftermarket dishwashers was ok, but this is no way to encourage others to take up home ownership and make the grids bigger.

What gives more bang for buck though, performance wise ?

I mean, the wife will love being toasty with a new heat pump, and may be more inclined to wander about the place wearing a skimpy bikini (this may be a bad thing depending on the state of your missus).

The wife would also be grateful at having to spend less time washing and drying dishes. She will have more time for say........"fluffing your cushions".

And do industry agendas have any impact in all of this ?

Oh the dilemma !!
