...wrong club for me to have any comments on regards that type of stuff...we have our own ongoing constant 'interface', is a way to put it with members/riders, regards pre89 compliance...or non-compliance...seems like a lot of riders want to have 'their' interpretations of club rules followed, even tho its all written into the rules...whatever club we are talking about...Originally Posted by codgyoleracer

Yeah tru, stuff like this can sure be discussed at length ( & vigour) aye. Must get my Pre89 donkey down there one day as well.

True, but not many (any?) of the nice ones are Duke powered, cept maybe the DB7?
Seems a little crazy to be so scared of Japanese engines when you can presumably end up with the 999 and 1098 in the same class, which would be the same sort of arse whipping wouldn't it?
Low personal B.M.E.P.
Bimotas - there's been a couple of Supermonos (BMW/Rotax powered) turn up,the odd DB1 and even a Vdue....but,yes, no Jap engined ones have been allowed at the SoT meeting.
I'm no expert on Bears eligibility regarding the classes - they have changed recently and will change again as they see how they're supported.
The whole non - jap thing is now a conscious choice to be different rather than mere prejudice IMO, and as such it's just as valid as any other choice.

Triumph Daytona, BMW S1000RR, KTM superduke/all those chook chaser motards.
But remember this started as a class where a bunch of guys went who didnt want to race and be thrashed by the Jap stuff: your RD's, TZ's, etc etc.
in the intervening 30 years, things have moved on.

Depends who is riding them, a Triumph 600 won the overall event a few years back when they were a relatively new bike
If Brendan and some guy whose name escapes me hadn't trashed both their 675's by crashing there brains out this year I would have put money on them being right up there as well
Next year I'd say we'll see Choppa or John Ross on the BMW winning the F1 class

It's probably easy to say that there is no need for Bears Racing anymore, but I have to say, every Bears meeting I have ever been to was an absolute hoot and ran like clockwork. I envy those guy's in CHCH having meetings every month and running all sorts of great exotica and backyard specials. Best memory was watching a Rotary Norton whistle like a phaarkin jet out of the last corner at a Ruapuna Sound of Thunder meeting. Outragious! I think the guy was from OZ. The Classic Festival at Pukekohe is also as good as a Bears meet and arguably the best meet in the country. I did notice some works Yamahas there last time though so maybe they are softening up when it comes to GP machines.

They might have done demonstration laps but they wouldn't have been racing
They're quite happy to have stuff like that there as a drawcard and maybe help them pull in a few extra punters for a few extra dollars but they won't let Jap bikes race

Bear compliance?
FB teaches you all kinds of stuff you didn't want to know....

Brilliant!!!!!!!!!

Aye... would be a shame for something like an RS250 or better yet, an SB8R, being denied some BEARs loving. Bimota really did build some cool motorcycles with Jap motors, most of which I assume would get an arse whipping from the aforementioned 1098s/S1000RRs of the world.

Compliance for BEARS is moustache/beard, big and fat, hairy chest......and you have to ride something that can't compete in a real race.
I hear they also enjoy bumsex.
Sorry I see no need for the class anymore. And I eagerly await the flak from all the "BEARS" on this site.
Fact of the matter boys - why can't you race in one of the other classes?
Come on own up and tell me why there needs to be a "Special" class anymore.
I mean it would make more sense to have a:
Malaysian + Korean + Chinese + Indian + Russian bike class these days than BEARS. Its those guys who are disadvantaged.

Totally untrue and the above would probably be in the minority, well except for the fat bit
Really? you should fit right in then because I heard you like it up the arse everyday and twice on Sundays
It isn't a "special class" you uneducated peasant, it is a club with multiple classes
It is fairly obvious you're of below average intelligence as you list Auckland as you location and no one with any brains would live there but if you ever travel south of the Bombays and visit the Mainland and the real world at the time of SOT and you will see why the "club" exists
