BMW excluded from BEARS in the Tri Series!

[Deano]

So will Scott Moir be able to enter Supersport and Superlight ?

I'm sure its only the extra practice that enables him to kick my arse

Again in English please?

Yep dead right there Billy and Tom Peck's got a long long memory too...

So he would be prepared to overlook a top rider because at some time in the past they aired what on the face of it seems to be a genuine grievance ?

I'm aware that sponsors require more than just a fast rider, but from what I've seen so far Choppa is the complete package.

That's one of the problems with the sport in NZ to many people with long memories about real or perceived slights.

Does Tom Peck read Kiwibiker or will somebody have to "inform" him ?

[Paul in NZ]

Personally I have no idea why more people don't follow motorcycle racing in NZ... If its like this thread its probably quite entertaining...

Dont know,But there are a number of people that regularly visit this site who would have a reasonable amount of contact with him.

Ok, so as a builder you build a house and then its advertised that someone else built it? That doesnt make sense. Its no more appropriate for Suzuki or Honda contracted riders to ride ( for example ) an Aprilia than it is for them to respectively ride another Japanese brand. It doesnt make commercial sense.
As I was at pains to point out to you in your pm message to me my comment was simply that its a positive that SNZ put so much money and effort into the sport. I was not engaging nor had any stomach to engage into how the Bears class is going to run in the Tri Series.
Note that Sloan and his team owner are very good customers of mine, Im perfectly sure that they fully understood what I said and why.

Im sure Tom has far bigger things to worry about!

What a pathetic dribble post, are you under the age of 3 or some thing

With out what Suzuki NZ have spent on the race scene in the last 10 years, there would be NO race scene.

Sloan Frost ( Choppa) WILL be the Suzuki NZ Main man in a year or 2 I think, and bloody good on him and his current sponsore for getting him where he is!

[Morcs]

Bears - racing class for uncompetitive european bikes.

So naturally any bike that can compete with the jappas should be excluded.

Hmm.... The quoting seems to be a bit dodgy but I'll have a crack at sorting it out - my reply to your question and comments in this font

Umm...Choppa started the thread - I can only assume that replies to the thread are directed at Choppa unless quoting is used - (which is how I figured out I should reply to this one)

So you (and Jellywrestler) believe Tom Peck (who I have never heard of until today but I gather that he has the power to deny Suzuki sponsorship to people he doesn't like) is not only vengeful but listens to (and gives credence to) tattle-tail that somebody might tell him they saw on the web ? You obviously have a low opinion of him.

Fuck you're a shit stirrer Wharfy.

[wharfy]

To be honest im not that concerned but I do like to stir the pot

Stir the pot !! Jeez more shit than when I tried using the electric egg beater to unblock the dunny

[avgas]

BEARS is a waste of space.

Said it before and I am guaranteed to say it again.

We need a real class with legitimate rules to replace it.

[CHOPPA]

Regretfully this thread has taken a bit of a negative turn towards Tom and Suzuki which I never intended.

Tom and Suzuki have done and do a lot for the sport and me personally so its not fair they get reflected on negatively.

There is an issue and that is the rules surrounding the BEARS class. I have told the organisers that I am happy to ride the HP2 but as long is the ruling is across the board and not just directed at the like of John and I
