Actrix VMCC Superbike Championship 2008

[Tony.OK]

If you wanna set, acheive and smash personal goals, get bragging rights amongst your mates at the pub,and pick up chicks,

Shit when i won my races last month a really ugly dude came over and gave me a pat on the back..............................not like ya see on telly at all hahaa

[CHOPPA]

Yeah, it's hard to get excited about prepping the bike etc and driving 5 1/2 hours each way to do 2 lousy 6 lap races. My entry is in but I'd almost be relieved if I've screwed up and it doesn't make it in time......anybody got some R6 fairings I can slap on the R1 so I can tag onto the back of the F2 grid?

Thats why you should all buy 600s......... Damn just ordered a transponder from mylaps while waiting for the gp to start, that sucks! I think it cost like nearly $700 all up and it prob wont even make it here before round 1!

[quallman1234]

If you want to pick up chicks with racing you need to go overseas!

Just cant win with some people aye.
Ill be there cheering everyone on! So look at it this way... Im driving 4 hours JUST TO WATCH. But I have a passion for racing so its no problem at all. We do what we love.

Forgetting something are we?

[Sparky Bills]

Forgetting something are we?

ummmmmmm nope.....
Am I meant to be doing something else?

[slowpoke]

Great attitude Spud.

"If I can't win, I wont play." Thought you had a bit more mettle than that.

And it's been argued at legth before, if you want laps for dollar value, racing isn't for you. If you wanna set, acheive and smash personal goals, get bragging rights amongst your mates at the pub, and pick up chicks, then it is.

Nah Jimmy, I don't give a toss about winning....honestly, I don't give a fat rats arse where I finish, I just wanna have fun on me mudderboik. 2 x 6 lap races just doesn't amount to as much fun as I'd like. I'm sure other people feel the same way and think to themselves that 18 or so minutes of racing doesn't work out to well on the $$$/smile ratio....but I'll still be smilin' (which is my only personal goal) so I've still entered. Considering I'm racing Clubman's on an 8 year old bike, with no Championship at stake, I can only make half the rounds at best, fun is the only reason I'm racing, not the faint prospect of ever crossing the finish line first.

As CHOPPA says "that's why you should all by 600's"....which is a perfectly understandable attitude (and I would if I could) but it seems a shame not to encourage racers into the premier class, which is why we have a Nationals event with only 13 entries in a Superbike field.

OI! Easy big fella....I was having a bad hair day, OK?! Or was it the nipple hair...don't tell me you don't like nipple hair....?

[Teambwr47]

There are still garages available at Taupo just in case anyone needs one.

Just booked one.........

Don't mind me Slowpoke, I've got my period !
I don't know how old you are , but for me , I'm just starting to wonder if I really enjoy this anymore ?
I quit 25 yrs ago and have just been doing the last couple of series for fun.
You have it in prospective I'm sure, But some on here seem to think they're better than they are ? (world famous in Taihape !) When in fact they'll be forgotten next week. Gaz.

Na man, you got it all wrong. Those of us who think we're quick, wont be forgotten by those that are important to us.

Some of us want more than that too, but worst case scenario we'll have cool stories to tell at parties.

besides, you're just sore cos my girl has beaten you in the past

Yeah thats a bit gay for clubmen aye you still pay the same entry! I was gutted last season i came to the last round at taupo and they made me ride clubmen cause it was my first race and i got skanked with only 2 short races also broke my chain in lap 2 of practice!

Sounds like theres gonna be a good line up of riders this year, hopefully everyone thats around comes out for a play. It would be good if some more of our top riders did more then just a couple of rides a year! I think 88s gonna be there to give us a lesson though.....

Ok Garry , heres the deal . you stay off the bike for the year and come to help me get the best most dedicated team of young riders going as they should be going. I could do with some assistance managing them this year and you are the perfect mentor for what our team needs. Come see me at work to sort out a deal old chap.

Paul.

Oh good, a bite, I'm sure you're both very very fast ? (for your day!!) and who can't beat an old grandad on a zimmer frame ?
List your career wins and I'll list mine !
Hey, but I must come over and meet you at the Manfeild Round. Gaz.

All I want is for it to either rain properly or not at all. In-between will be more than my nervous system will be able to cope with. I obviously need to sprinkle some HTFU on my cereal.
