Had a Bonnie 650 many years ago though, The point about Jack Smith is nobody could do worse could they. Even if his replacement came last every time it wouldn't be any different but he may even a get a point or two. I've ridden big road bikes for many years and still do. I had a go on a friends speedway bike on a big field ...Bloody hell . About a 3rd of the power, but no brakes or suspension, as you know. The arse breaks away and I shut off and got a speed wobble and no fences or riders to hit either... Arse nipped up...And to think I wanted to be a speedway rider when I first went aged 8 lol. All i'm saying is give the guys a bit of respect. Not a push bike will score more comment Edited August 25, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnno4 30 Posted August 24, 2018 Many years ago perhaps before your time there was cycle speedway run on more or less the same way as real speedway. The boys were pretty fast and came off the same way, My comment was sardonic, and my main point was we couldn't do any worse with another rider, last is last.

ZagarRacing 117 Posted August 25, 2018 Keep lowering those averages boys. I’d even have Nick Morris back on that average. From 1st September Troy Batchelor 7.96 Nick Morris 6.92 Tobiasz Musielak 6.61 Adam Ellis 6.49 David Bellego 6.00 Zach Wajtknecht 4.29 Jack Smith 2.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 26, 2018 If Nick is unable to ride I wonder if J Holder is free rather than use r/r. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even with a full team for us they will win easily. Glad Spurs Man U is on the box to save me having to watch us lose badly to the lot we hate losing to the most!

Pirates Of Poole 761 Posted August 26, 2018 Think it could be closer than people think, Swindon always up their game when we are in town. 4 points either way for me, will depend if Nick is fit to ride and of course all Poole riders come through the morning meeting with no issues.

I think DC2( think that's right) was the worst..Only banter at the end of the day though. If Morris isn't able to ride, I hope Swindon, will pay Holder the money.. Could make for a good meeting.
