Oh i hear we're off to sunny Spain

Got a feeling that heat 13 may just sneak onto the 2007 superheats dvd.

All have one drink less each..........and put that money into a bucket for Garry Stead.
Gotta say thats a corking idea

Believe it or not he fell off his pushbike going to the shops last wkend!! I kid you not.true story
Whats the betting it was the old "bag in the front wheel straight over the handlebars"type move which is so so easy,especially if you stop off at the pub on the way to the shops

Move the PL 4TT to Oxford,any profits to help save the club instead of being shared out,is it too Radical or is it a Goer.

That's business sense - a full house at both Bydgoszcz AND Ostrow - great for the traveling fans.
Thats what happens when you make sure the BSPA have nothing to do with the organisation.If the U21 final was the day after Cardiff they would have the good buisness sense to have the meeting at the furthest track from Cardiff.

Take a jacket/fleece it might be red hot during the day but once the sun sets it gets bloody freezing.

A proper ice meeting in the UK bring it on i reckon,i think there would be a good chance of a very big crowd as people with no idea of the sport would be curious to see it.

He rides on a Slovakian licence

Had a great time Rickshaw racing in Riga on sunday night,but i suspect the riders regret saying yes to our request to take 3 passengers on one and 2 on the other,they were knackered by the time we got back to the hotel.

Thanks for the info,its going to be a big ask for him though to challenge the Russians.

According to the site daugavpils.lv Kjastas Poudhuks is in for the GP,also i remember reading somewhere that the track has a big home advantage.

Tony Steele was at a forum in Oxford a few years ago and said that you did not have to exclude a rider,wether it is different in FIM meetings is another thing.

Is Gunther Bauer going to ride this season?

The Danes may not have set the world alight in the 1st rnd and playoff but they are in the final where everyone starts equal.Past performances show the danes have it in them to rise to the occasion in the big matches.

Going in september for the Golden helmet with Travelplus 4 meetings in 3 days can,t be bad.

Hpoe its not his brother Wayne.

To not enter a British team in this event is probably the most short sighted decision the SCB and BSPA have made.If they got thmselves into gear at the end of the season instead of the end of February,we could work fixtures around most meetings in Europe.Take a leaf out of the Swedish and Polish leagues sort your points limit (Not gradings)and teams out in november.The fixture list could then be worked around these type of meetings and maybe even Longtrack and Grasstrack championships.
Then the big challenge is to get all promotors to agree that if meetings do have to be rearranged due to bad weather,and it happens to clash with one of these events then r/r can be used.
(1) Get the fixtures out early and get the riders to commit to them.
(2) Get the promotors to work as a team(i know it's probably impossible)
(3) Get the management commitee to discuss any r/r or guest issues between themselves and then notify the referee and both promotors of there decision and that that decision is final.Instead of them spending an hour of the meeting arguing over who agreed what and with whom,mostly over a few hundredths of a point.

Why don't the BSPA enter teams in competitions like this?It would be good experience for younger riders to go abroad and race on different tracks.The type of riders i would consider would be of premier league heat leader and second string standard or elite league reserves.Who are on there way up the ladder not treading water so to speak.Also a round would then be held over here and the opportunity to see some riders who's names you only see on the internet and in the star would be great.I saw a round a few years ago and saw Matej Zagar for the first time, absolute quality.

I can see it now a tag team wrestling match between "Naughty" Nicki Pedersen and "Hard riding" Hans N. Andersen Vs Greg "The Hammer" Hancock and "Lightweight" Lee Richardson.

According to this mornings paper it,s tomorrow(sunday)@7am,no listing for a very early am repeat later in the week which is normally the case.

In Oxford city centre there are various official council owned poster sites for advertising gigs,nightclubs etc.I have seen plenty of A4size full colour posters advertising the mighty Silver Machine all through the summer,even seen them in some of the more tourist haunt pubs.Also there is a tourist advice centre which supplies a monthly booklet about what,s on and restaurant,bar,theatre,concerts and sporting events that month.The OSM have been in this every month with listing of all that months home matches and even made the front cover a couple of months ago.The booklet is also available from hotels and guest houses.Perhaps the only improvement that could be made on this is to try adverts in foreign languages.We get excellent coverage on BBC radio oxford including live broadcasts from some away meetings,announcements on the sports bulletins including occasional interviews.For the last couple of seasons but sadly not this, we even had a half hour show on local tv station the oxford channel which showed all the races from the previous weeks meeting,and was repeated at different times of the day over the next week.Waggy,s pyramid scheme also takes place where you bring so many people who get in free and get a free programme they get to see a race from the centre green and meet a couple of the riders,and if they comeback with 5 new people they again get free entry and so do there friends.

When i was in Slovenia for this years GP i heard they were looking to run in Singapore next year,also if my memory serves me well Kenny Roberts built a flattrack at a circuit in Spain to try and get a few Spanish people to have a go,i think it was at Jerez.If this is still there and in reasonable condition think of the crowd you would get on a saturday night when a Motogp or World superbikes was on the sunday.As for the Usa they would need to have 2 GP,s one west coast and one east coast one week apart to make it financially viable,and hopefully as the first 2 of the year before march the 15th.

Daugavpils is a ****hole stay in Riga till saturday,though a place called citycentre is ok couple of bars,bowling alley and pizza place.
The prison is a sight to behold though,a few like that over here would stop some people reoffending.
