Has Motorcycling New Zealand lost all relevance?

[Goblin]

If youve looked at F3 the Majority of bikes out there are SV650s they aint old, and man some of those guys with them so called old 400's make them boogie, I love the F3 its a great class and I would love to see farm bikes out there modified to suit road racing....

Plain and simple if you wanna road race.

GET A ROAD RACE BIKE

If you wanna do MotoX

GET A MOTOX BIKE

But there's the difference...riding a dirtbike set up for road is SOMETHING ELSE!! And it's not a new thing. I had the joy of riding a TT500 in an RM400 frame, with road tyres and gearing way back in the '80s. That bike was a weapon on the road!! Dont knock it til you try it.

If you wanna have a rant about bar height rules why not tell the 400 boys to piss off and make there own class why dont you piss off and make your own class of racing that has a rule no bikes without bars under 900mm or something

My first few races(on an old 400) were with motards, SV650s and 125s and all sorts and it was GREAT! Maybe I'm alone here but I did feel kind of ripped off when motards were excluded.

you must be young; like scrivy, i've been racing and watching racing for 3 decades and frankly it sucks now compared to then

'better' is a very subjective term. better than what? last year? 2 years ago?

certainly not better than the mid eighties or the fantastic Marlborough Series of the late 70's early 80's

That's Marlboro to you sonny, not Marlborough. Ran for five summers from 73/74 until 77/78 certainly not into the 80's. Yeah those days were just fantastic compared to what I've seen lately.

sure; after they legislated out half the competition

i'd almost be ashamed to win such a hollow victory

[merv]

OK here's another idea, if we are going to have moto-x bikes out there what about having them stock with knobbly tyres and all and then see who has the skill with that combination?

if i were to bash bad spelling we'd be here arguing forever

yep, the best ever series with stunning international talent to boot.

74 was when i started paying attention even though i was a motocrosser at that tender age

road racing looked interesting and exciting compared to the yawn i see so often today

[Drew]

why the hell would i want to ride a jappa? i like euros but the best are banned effectively from the class

Get a Raptor then, it's put together in Euroland. Not keen? Get a Brutale, bet the bars are nowhere near 900mm. Wanna twin? Get a tuono.

HARDEN THE FUCK UP, stop crying and making excuses, if you're such a racing god we should all be bowing down to you, get out there on one of the many bikes that DO qualify for whatever class you intend to dessimate, and prove it bitch.

Got fiddy in my pocket, says me and both my brothers can not just beat your old ass, but damn well embarass you.

1st prize for dumbest post

so what about KTM 690SM's? they are sold standard with 17" wheels and sticky road tyres. In fact, out of the box they have better rubber than most jappas

Thanks and I've never told you any of your posts are dumb

[Drew]

jappas

a biggot, is a biggot, is a biggot.

You are entitled to think Euro bikes are better, but christ man, pick one argument, and try making it, before picking up the next axe to grind.

[Goblin]

And now you've just contradicted yourself by saying that because you have four times the experience, you know more and your opinions are right. This directly after having a go at MNZ for their stagnated ideas and dinosaur procedures.

You simply aint making sense man.

So did you not have a wee issue with the race officials at Wangas after the farce that was F1? Didn't that thread have a little winge to MNZ?

so my opposition is allowed to bounce all over the show but i've gotta toe one line?

fuck you're ridiculous

BTW; i've owned more jappas than euros

what are you weasels afraid of again? wide bars, sliding, spinning, mx bikes, euros?

what a pack of soft bastards

You might wanna go re-read that thread, the bitch to MNZ was about the complaints process, not the actual events at Wanganui.

I understand tho, when you're on the wrong side of an argument, it's easy to try and pick holes in the oposition.

credit where credit's due: i know that was what you were trolling for

I'm just not bright enough to keep up with more than one argument at a time is all.

And by the way, if you ever do man up and come to the track, I'll be riding a Ducati, giving the bonus that you cant cry about being regulated out of competition.
