Look at how many people a red honda rider has taken out this season alone and how many times he has crashed.Wanganui - Hampton Downs and Paeroa all have been on t.v. showing this and we know it happened at other rounds so are MNZ going to stand him down so he can think about his riding also like they did to Byrce Meads

Sorry Mate,

I cant answer that question,I was at all the National points rounds this year and witnessed none of which you have mentioned,That doesnt mean Im implying it didnt happen,I havent seen the coverage from Wanganui or Paeroa either,Probably the best course of action for you would be to contact Jim at presidentmnz@ihug.co.nz and voice your concerns there.Please dont hesitate to post any response you get on this site as Im sure it will be of interest too many,Me included

CORRECT

I do know that people were not happy with Bron, but I also know first hand some of the things he has done to upset everyone. There are two sides to every story and the truth usually lays somewhere in the middle.

YIP GOOD POINTS AND I WASNT SUGGESTING STEVE BRON WAS AN ANGEL EITHER AND YOUR POSSIBLY CORRECT REGARDING THE TRUTH

On this though - there has been a lot of discussion about Nationals on this thread, I am really keen to know what the plans are to support those (large number of people) who are happy to participate at a club level only. MNZ are not just about Nationals (and thankfully not just about sidecars), so what are the plans to support clubs which are the ones that feed into the sport?

AGAIN THOSE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO JIM AT presidentmnz@ihug.co.nz

My two cents, anyone involved in MNZ currently doesnt get my support, put the same shit in get the same shit out.

get rid of the fossils and get in some marketing people, the sport will always be "wanting" until people start buying tickets to the events, and until people start buying tickets to the events no one will give a poo poo about the sport and there will never be any money in it.

Get the "SHOW" and watch it "GROW"

Yes there are alliances and agendas all over it,But its an open forum and everybodys 2 cents buys the same space.

Good too see youve made a decision,Not sure about the fossils statement though,Is that because theyre all older or because they are not moving forward,Again Im not sure the marketing people would have all that much to work with at the moment,While some of us enjoy watching whats on offer it appears the general public do not,Sidecars have always been a good draw card,But to be honest from where Im standing I think the best thing that could be done would be the introduction of a junior scheme along the lines of the one being run by MCC,It is the biggest contributor too the National level feilds,All the feilds need to be like the Streetstock/Prolite 250 were at Ruapuna this year,There was battling going on right the way through the feild and was much more of a spectacle than the Superbike/600s and the other thing would be the increased costs too have it all promoted properly,More riders= less increased cost per rider,

GROW=SHOW=MORE GROW??

Oh so lets have a "witch hunt" for the red honda rider shall we. If you go down at Paeroa or Wanganui theres a fair chance you arnt gonna be alone.
Lets have the list of the "many" other incidents at nats please.
Anyway i thought Honda riders were contracted to fall of regulary.................. but that could be a personal contractual obligation as some do it when they ride a Suzuki too.............. couldn,t resist that...sorry.
Not having a go bud......... i do agree that the "Meads" incident seemed dodgy.
But lets not have it all start again.............. if persons feel grieved by anothers actions they should sort it "in a gentlemans fashion" FIGHT..... no.... joking
or they should officiall file a greivence.

Nope. Zebra's are funny coloured Unicorns that've been dehorned.

That wasn't really my point though Billy. That being the case is irrelevant IMO it was the manner in which the decision was made.

Is there actually even a provision for a 'probation' period in the rules of MNZ? Was he duly notified prior to the Hampton Downs incident of this fact and the duration of it?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to defend Bryce's riding or even commenting on it...my only concern has always been in the delivery of the verdict and the timing of it. The details were never aired fully on here (in the thread 'The goat of Hampton Downs') and I see no point in doing so now. However, as far as I could see knowing what I do, there was no process followed...and if it was a process that was followed (Lord help us) then it was anything but fair as is claimed by the slogan MNZ has adopted.
