MNZ board nominations

[Billy]

I think we're talking at cross purposes big fulla. I totally agree if you want the best racers you have to push the youngsters and the competition/training they get. You and Pete, by the way, do a fantastic job of that.

But as it stands I've got no idea what Jim and Chris's thoughts are on the way forward, so why would I bother voting?

i think you'd be stretching it a bit too compare the results Pete and the team at MCC and His successor Jenni Gibson have achieved and anything thats happened in the North Island.Too be completely honest with the culture within the North Island scene at the moment,I seriously doubt anybody North of Picton is even going too come close EVER!!

Not voting is not an option!You can't get on an internet forum and constantly rabbit on about the results attained by MNZ whoever is at the helm and profess to have all the answers and then not do your bit by researching the candidates and their supporters and then making an informed decision too vote for one or the other!

MNZ is a much bigger animal than roadracing itself,5500 members and I'll wager a bet less than 500 of them are roadracers,

The sport is not run by the President,He is merely the person charged with overseeing the running of the Organisation and ensuring the respective commissioners are on the ball and happily beavering away.Aswell as a hoard of other activities including dealing with the FIM.In this area the board/commissions and Jim have moved the sport forward over the last 2 years.

These are the people that need to be responsible for their respective disciplines and thats who should be contacted for enquiries and complaints as well as the on road and off road board members for the 2 islands.

Too be Frank Spud,

If Jim were too go and some of his support from the board and commissions were to go with him(either cause they are replaced or resign),I too would cease all of the work I do in the streetstock/Prolite scene simply because Id be wasting my time,The only traction Ive had has been through these channels,Certainly not the clubs north of Picton and in fact some of the other people claiming to be trying too organise entry level systems in the North island have been way more of a hinderance than helpful,Problem being they have better links within the clubs than I.

So make a decision and either keep me busy or able to finally spend some time with my 7 kids,27 grandkids and 2 greatgrandkids.

Wanna spend some time with mine? I'm over it............

[Billy]

Bwahahaha!Yeah,I was thinking about that earlier,Probably be more stress and work than motorcycling

[slowpoke]

Ummmm, what are they smoking off the western shore of the western island there big fella?

Aaron Slight is without a doubt the most recognised NZ motorcycle racer. I'm a bike racing enthusiast, and doubt if I could pick Johnny Hepburn out of a street full of people. Put him on a bike and I'll point him out but he's far from NZs most recognizable MC racer.

Steve Bron, now there's a racer you'll never forget..........

Sorry, I meant famous to the general NZ public, not amongst bikers. Slight, Stroud, Coppins, King (and a host of others) should be household names with what they have accomplished here and overseas, but instead we know/hear more about Shane van Gisbergen who has accomplished bugger all in comparison (nothing against The Giz).

OK Frank, fair comments re doing my research, I'll let you know what Mr Google thinks of Jim and Chris, haha.

7 kids? 27 grandkids? No blardy wonder you've got so many bikes at yours, and no wonder you've managed to make a business out of fixin' 'em! Although I'm thinkin' if you'd spent a lil' more time in the shed early on and a lil' less time chasin' the missus 'round the kitchen table you might have a tad more time on your hands now.....

Seriously, all I know is Chris was involved in building up the TRRS into an awesome show a couple of years back, and that the Road Race scene has improved under Jims reign. I'm not sure where to look for further information....but I do spend 6 months of the year staring at 4 steel walls so any excuse to look for/at something else is welcome relief......especially if either of 'em has got a nice set of boobs, even man boobs are fine towards the end of the shift. Hence I can rabbit on dreaming up criticisms of MNZ and solutions to problems that mightn't even exist, but have fuck all chance of putting words into practice. Frankly Frank, I'm too busy chasin' my missus 'round the kitchen table when i'm home, although I'm finding my good lady is a lot faster with her skirt up round her hips than I am with my pants 'round my ankles so my successes have been few and far between....

[slowpoke]

Haha, another fast fucker built like a racing sardine, I'm beginning to think being slow (in sooooo many ways) isn't a bad thing!

[Tony.OK]

I'm finding my good lady is a lot faster with her skirt up round her hips than I am with my pants 'round my ankles

Now that is worthy of becoming a signature my red headed friend!!

Jeez Spud,Your not the sharpest tool in the shed aye,I had the same problem initially!!All you have to do is put the table in the corner LOL Simple aye???

Who is Shane Van Gisbergen?

[jellywrestler]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Boobs....

Hmm, i would of thought Ivan Mauger would be NZ's most famous motorcycle racer?

[jasonu]

Hmm, i would of thought Ivan Mauger would be NZ's most famous motorcycle racer?

Hugh Anderson, Graham Crosby.

As I said, I meant to the general public. Bikers will hopefully know those names and realise what they have achieved....but I'd hazard a guess the average Kiwi wouldn't recognise the names or their awesome achievements.

But hey, I reckon things are moving forward judging from the past season so it's all good.

[scrivy]

I have been told 2 sides of the story on here and where it all started from,

Shaun, you say you have been TOLD 2 sides of the story. Have you ever gotten the NZSRA side of the story from listening to members yourself? If so, from whom??
It appears you have made your mind up with no communication from the NZSRA.

So who told you our 'side' of the story then Shaun?? Someone you trust, but no one from the NZSRA?

the blame for that rests with the Jim Tuckerman Steve Bron backroom alliance & Jim ignoring the majority vote in favour of his special chump.
Im not sure what Chris has got to do with it, he hasnt had a governing role in the NZSRA for several years now.

Spot on Bob. But Shaun knows more than we do about it, 'cause he's got NZSRA's 'side' of the story too, but won't say who he's talked to.

Here's the story I got about the alleged assault.
At the end of a meeting as Jim was driving out of the car park, some chick yelled out to him to stop. He did and as she was getting to the car he opened the door and it struck her.
But that's my own idea, I haven't heard anything about it from anyone.
As I said before Drew, there was no car involved.
It appears that someone has deliberatly told inconvenient truths about it.

A potential sponsorship meeting Jim had should have been dealt with in a far more professional manner as there was the potential for a pretty damn large cheque in it.
What happened at the meeting?? What did Jim do wrong??

My only experience of Chris is that he's a smiley dude who's always talking to every second person around the pits.
I agree with you totally on that Drew!!

OK, So Jim Tuckerman is a loud mouthed opinionated rudely spoken direct aggresive man??
I totally agree with you Shaun.
WOW, Sounds like a PETROLHEAD to me,
No Shaun, he sounds like a bully, with an anger management issue. I know lots of petrolheads, most are not bullies or intimidating

the fact that this situation Technically did take place,

The police finding on this matter is:
“We have decided to "formally warn" Mr Tuckerman for this incident. The will be a record on his file that this occurred and if something similar to this occurs again then we will more than likely take a different action.” (Constable Shewry)

I also know only JIM and the lady and her man were in the same room together ( Only those 3 where this so called assult took place) Would YOU assult a mans women in front of him? Did not think so, Jim is loud and direct, but far from a women beating moron
You also KNOW.....? Sorry Shaun you are WRONG. This assault did not take place in a room - no where near a room, and there were more than the 3 people present, and the witnesses gave statements. So, where did you get your erroneous information from?

( Yes I do include you in OUR SPORT Scrivy, that;s if you ever get to keep your MNZ license after all the slagging of MNZ and staff and FAMILY FINANCUALL MEMBERS on here bringing the sport into disrepute!) This is one sword you should DIE on, the rule is there clear for all to read. " VERBAL ASSULT IS AS DAMAGING AS PHYSICALL, so what;s your excuse for all the pain you are handing out on here.
Just letting everyone know what Tuckerman has done to MNZ members. Oh, and it's not called pain, it's called truth.
If Tuckerman hits me with a code of conduct breach, it'll cost him in court. 'Cause unfortunately that's the only place a grievance with MNZ's code of conduct can go - the Sports Tribunal. Rest assured Shaun, you know I would be more than keen to expose Jim there. Imagine the great media attention too!! So it doesn't daunt me Shaun.

Absolutely agree!

Too be Frank Spud,

Why do you say that Billy?? Chris certainly would not destroy any of the hard work you have done with your class Billy. The Board wouldn't let that happen either.

The only traction Ive had has been through these channels,Certainly not the clubs north of Picton and in fact some of the other people claiming to be trying too organise entry level systems in the North island have been way more of a hinderance than helpful,Problem being they have better links within the clubs than I.
Have you sat in on a commissioners meeting to discuss the issues you have for the betterment of your class??

Being an internet site, everyone has a right to comment on any of the issues raised on it. Remembering that there are always two sides to every story.
Shaun, Billy etc., have their views, I and others have ours.
The more information about the candidates put out to voters prior to an election is only a good thing.

[Billy]

Spot on Bob. But Shaun knows more than we do about it, 'cause he's got NZSRA's 'side' of the story too, but won't say who he's talked to.

Regarding the National championship,The simple answer is this,The championship ran,The clubs catered for sidecars,MNZ advertised them,Some turned up,Some did not,Those that chose to stay away were the ones that wrecked it,For whatever reason !!!

Fully agree re the internet.It is everybodys platform to offer their side of the story and in fact I mentioned the same statement in reply too Steve just the other day.

But riddle me this,How can you justify rubbishing Shaun for not having both sides of the story and making an assumption when you clearly stated on this thread,You havent and wont speak too Jim to hear his side??? And yet your adamant hes guilty even though the police havent charged him.

Or is it because your freinds dont lie and Jims associates do??

Im not in the least bit concerned whether Chris has plans to make changes or otherwise,However I have to consider my options as well,As Ive stated I have a good working relationship with some members of the board and commissions,These people have been of immense help too me and without them I would have got no where,Until such times as the election has taken place and I see whos left I cant really make any firm commitments.That decision may not be Chris's too make IF hes elected,Assuming my contacts were to be replaced Im not about to start all over again and Have notified the scholarship commitee at the Victoria MCC today.

The fact Chris is clearly stonewalling me is not confidence inspiring and you only have to visit Marcus's facebook page to see it,If he doesnt have a clear mandate for junior development and induction then he should say so!

actually I'll take back that Ivan Mauger comment and say it's more likely to be the fastest Indian chap.... who's name eludes me at the moment!
