Billy. Good to see you'll tidy up the cheating in Pro Lite. At the opening national round last year anyone, including the MNZ commissioners and board members, could see lowered handlebars, cut off side stand brackets, a power commander and more.
Crack down on it now and it'll be a good class, ignore it and it'll be a helluva mess.

Wrong Buddha. Streetstock is not about racing. It's primarily about a platform for safe, economic and successfull riding development of youth and newcomer riders.
And it works.
I've just hosted a NI youngster for 4 events over the school hols. He rode 3 bikes and did probably 800km, probably more than he'd do in the NI in a full season. We never once talked about racing. Did I get this horribly wrong?

Quite true Pete.
But it is also a class which allows racing on the same machinary as a natural progression (apart from being the most competitive class also)

Agree totally with Pro Twin comment. It is the perfect step up from streetstock/prolite for those who dont want to jump straight to a 600 or are a bit large for a 125 (which is another route)
Also think F3 is a bit long in the tooth now.......... and marketed correctly Prolite - Protwin could work hand in hand.

my 2 cents

[oyster]

Yes and yes Swerve.
Together we're up to 4c

Was this Tyler Lincoln? I've read his reports on Kiwibiker and he certainaly knows that he's racing and beating someone by the smallest of margins, so what were you talking to him about, Home and Away or the Fresh Prince of Belair?

I understand your sentiment Spyda,But I arranged for Tyler to head south for the one on one coaching as there is very limited and diluted competition for him in the North Island.

Pete is VERY experienced in coaching and advising these younger competitors and Im positive young Tyler has learned much over the 5 days of training he has with him

When have you been to Roys Hill for a Bucket meeting?

When have you been to Roys Hill for a Bucket meeting?

Never have and probably never will,But I'm sure you will only have to talk to Tyler himself to know the system at MCC is far more advanced and the riders are much faster down there and plenty more of them.

I wasnt talking about bucket racing,Tylers at the next step now!

#4 = Simon Volmer

Maybe not , but he still did about 200km on a bucket in one day ! Cant hurt

Yet to catch up with the myth himself from his adventures to another island, though Tyler hasnt cracked it around Roys Hill yet, when everyone has there axle nuts done up correctly and he beats them he'll have done it, so being advanced is only ones word to anothers word. As for 'the next step now'...he isnt the tallest so it cant be all that hard...

LOL,You know what I meant and no,Your right he hasnt cracked it yet and I'm sure hes got a better picture of where he needs to be now and a better idea of how hes going to get there,Special thanks to Peter Jones for taking the time to help him.

I won't go into specific matters of Tyler and and his time with me. I respect his right to privacy.
The other is I have developed theories of coaching for young ones in this sport over many years and I regret to say they are not universally understood by a large number of shallow minded people in our sport, including our so called leadership.
As for my theories? Well here's clue.
I watched a program on the Wells family from Wanaka who have 3 boys acheiving at a very high level on the world stage in snowboarding. Asked for the punchline of their coaching thinking and getting such good results: "We only talk about and work on improvement. A better understanding. Skill development. How we can do it better. So whether we get 3rd, 13th or 30th is of secondary importance. But I guess, as you see, the results come by themselves."

Tyler, like many others I've worked with will become a very good rider if he wants too. But the path there is long and studied. No exception.
