Pukekohe two-hour race?

[scracha]

Oh dear, there has been a bit of softness creep into the sport in the last 20 years hasnt there.

When men were men...etc etc. What's wrong with us metrosexuals racing?

People bleating about perhaps hurting themselves while racing a bike,

Yeah, maybe I should go back to crossply tyres, drum brakes and flexi frames . Wankel norton meserschmidt mk3 for me it is then.

I did the Puke 2 hour on worlds 3rd GSXR1100 an old G model with chassis number 0000003, I got clocked at 248kmh on the backstraight on virtually

Aye aye, and you beat ze Nazi's too grandad.

15 minutes on the sidecar is five times harder.

Knew you'd throw that one in somewhere. Course it's not harder, you're cheating with that extra wheel and the co-pilot. Modern sidecars are rubbish anyway, I want to see real men racing BMW's with a machine gun in front off the passenger not these 3 wheeled formula one cars they have now.

[scrivy]

yep thats true...but the G-forces are alot higher...especially under braking and power...much in the same way a new rig is faster and more demanding on the driver and passenger of 10+ years ago...

Maybe we can just agree to disagree?

A new rig more demanding???? WTF?????
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...................... you get the point.

Poos, the new rigs are made for limp wristed fags that push pens during the week!! I would put $10,000 on one of the new rig riders (or passengers for that matter), to go as fast as me and Sideshow Bob on our old post classic machine!! Yes they are faster in a straight line, but why is it that we kicked their sorry asses at the twisty circuits and even set a new lap record to boot???!!!

They fuck around with suspension and ride heights, tyre pressures etc, FFS, we kick the tyres (seriously!), use old worn tyres, never adjust the suspension and have 10 times the amount of fun as they do. Oh, and the part I like, we spend $5 grand doing the Nats, and they spend....... well, they spend more than you make a year!!!! So, who has the most fun??? Who needs to have the most pristine looking machine out there? Who needs to have the best handling machine out there? Do spectators agree with your comments or mine? I mean, do they wanna see bucking and sliding, or machines like they are on rails???

All this niceness of machinery is making things very anal. I've said it before, I'd rather everyone race with twice the tyre pressures, no steering dampeners, the wrong suspension settings, etc, and just let the best rider use their own skills, rather than using the best parts money can buy.
No more chequebook racing!!

Well, Bobs already got the BMW post classic sidecar....... now, are you crazy enough to jump on the side with him and man the machine gun?????

[Quasievil]

I'm going to be kind, I'll offer my services to you, riding your bike.

What a RM250 ??? can I come and watch

I'm game, spiders aside, I don't know the meaning of fear.

"Schnell Schnell, For you Kiwis, ze race is over."

In all seriousness though, the modern sidecars are just one big yawn for moi. Much more entertaining watching ye olde classics going up on two wheels (hell, I'm sure they go onto one sometimes) round Paeroa.

[driftn]

Not pukie. Manfield, taupo , Hampton down's sweet as.

But not pukie!

Soft.

Sign me up what a hoot i reckon.

Yup, Agreed, Modern sidecars are a total yawn, Like a dwarf in a pedal car.
Thats why in April this year, Scrivy & i politely declined an extremely generous offer from a very kind man to purchase on our behalf, one of the latest greatest sidecars from Europe, Preferring to continue to run the aincent machine that we already have (courtesy of the same gentleman) in the interests of creating greater amusement for both ourselves & the paying spectators.


Anyway, Back to the topic in hand, Two hour race, Taupo short new track, No rider swaps & no tyre changes.

How would you know when you haven't tried one, you were to soft to get on one at levels even though I would have gone out on the "post classic"

Since the demise of the 6 hour (which was helped along by the Superbikes) no none seems to have been able to sort out a decent endurance race in NZ that will run yearly, incororating one in a club round might be worth a try, although I lnow MCC don't get a real good response to the one at Ruapuna

Correction Mr Kickaha, I believe my exact comment if memory serves when being pressured to go on Daves pedal car at levels was "I didnt travel this far to go that slow".
And seeing as we kicked your guys arses into next week it turned out to be right.

[cowpoos]

rm"Z" 250 and ill come watch too!!

Enough of the pissing contest you lot. Chair riders are all very disturbed and cheats, they got three fuckin wheels. And Poos is just a loud mouth.

Bring on the two hour, need me a co rider...any plans that weekend NickO?

Not another soft cock that has no trouble publicly admitting that he cant actually ride a bike for two hours without needing a butt buddy to help him out.
How about we all buy nice new pink skipping ropes & go down to the park girls?
Southpark could do a fantastic episode on this topic.

How is it possible for me to cheat, Im only friggin ballast ffs.
When did the rules change?
When i did the 2 hour it never even occured to me (or any other competitor) to have a butt buddy.
As i recall, some of the competitors were, Paul Pav, Richard Scott, Brian Bernard, Glenn Williams (The first one) Shaun Harris, Geoff McLaren, Andy Stroud, Tony Rees, & many other well known names.
Ahh, Great memories, As i recall i won enough money to pay the petrol home, Not much back then.
