  1. i am and jawa can make that engine for around £1200 with jawa bits ,it's basically the 2valve ice racing engine that they make with slight changes for speedway but it needs the backing of the leagues throughout the world , jawa can make a strong engine but speedway won't take on the idea , I have been talking about this idea for s while now but speedway is run by people who are in it for their own gains and not the good of the sport
  2. but the fact is it just won't happen ,there are Pistons availible at £450 ,double the price of a GM or other pistons and tuners will say they are better but in reality they are not they are the same but one rider wins a meeting with one and everyone wants one ,it won't save riders anything and that's unfortunately the reality of it ,riders and tuners just want the advantage and that's where the money problem starts ,. I wish I didnt care anymore but unfortunately for me I do
  3. All this is doing is making speedway further and further away from the sport it was , if I'm wrong then I will apologise to the 1000s on the terraces next season
  4. you would be lucky to get 100 races out of any engine at that Rev and gerhard is no fool neither is Peter johns but they are just business men trying to make a living ,you can't blame them but it's doing nothing for speedway
  5. let me enlighten you Phillip ,I assume you drive a reliable car ? Well sit on your drive put your car in neutral and Rev it non stop at 10,000 revs if it will go that high and see how long it lasts , there isn't an engine on the world that wouldn't deterioration at that revs ,it's not needed
  6. brilliant just what speedway needs, we've got a sinking ship and people throw in bricks
  7. could you explain how the elite and premier subsidise a club like Buxton? Let me into a little secret the elite and prem could care a Ratts ass about the NL if they did they would all run NL team ,they only show an interest when there is finacial gain for themselves . If you believe the 1st line of your post then you believe what you read in the speedway star snd press releases
  8. thats the idea for the rider but that's not why NL teams exist and to say it's to train riders for higher clubs is an insult to every paying fan
  9. no the idea is please the paying supporters of that club even at NL level , ,speedway is for fans ,it is a form of entertainment and when you make it about the riders you have the sport we have today ,the future for riders is up to the riders to make a future for themselves
  10. was that the week a bumper attendance was announced ?
  11. What a lot of people seem to be missing is Eastbourne have dropped 2 leagues and their fans need to be convinced that the NL is the thing for them so they need the team to be relatively successfull ,they need to win fans over which is no easy thing ,in Danny and Brendon they have 2 riders who are great at bonding with fans and will score very well especially at home
  12. while I agree speedway is about performance and results matter one thing that is lacking in modern speedway is fans can't relate to riders and riders who do make that connection are much needed in the sport at every level ,I'm not referring to Brendon in particular but if he falls into the bracket then that's all good
  13. Nicki p but I will be having a bet on bomber simply because of the big odds you get on him
  14. Jawa bike for sale bz carb ,prodrive silencer ,dirt deflector ,£1150 *SOLD*
  15. he basically said there was no money and bounced all our cheques so after the club shut mid season the Bspa paid us and a new lot came in and took it over to complete the season ,I can't believe he is let anywhere near a speedway track but then again look at some others that are still involved
  16. yes the very same one that didn't pay the riders and left the club for dead
  17. unfortunately the iow needs the ferries to sponsor the club to make it viable and up till the AGM neither wightlink or red funnel had come forward with an offer and as the iow had to declare to run at the AGM it was decided to focus on getting the team back for 2016 ,the group couldnt afford the cost of transporting 20 vans per meeting as well as the other costs involved in getting the club back, it is hoped that a ferry deal can be done in the near future and then the club will be back
  18. yes but your going to get yet another new mosque in dudley so thats going to keep everyone happy
  19. Not sure if its an age thing but i hate reading the star or for that matter any mag/book on a ipad or whatever gadget ,its just not the same as magazine
  20. feel free to browse any of my other post where there is more than enough ideas but in the meantime apply for the bspa chairmans job ,you are fully qualified for it
  21. Some of you seem to of missed the point here. The reason behind this is in the first line "beckham child WANTS to ride a motorbike " the bspa offers and pays for him to have to have a go at a ride and skid day of whixh every kid with an interest in motorbikes would jump at the chance. He isnt there as a PR stunt, he is there for his own fun but by its nature every paper in the world would be on to this. .Victoria bless her thinks motorbikes are dangerous so even more reason why a teenager would want a go. Of course he could just say no but it hasnt cost anything to ask and sometimes if you dont ask you dont get.. The fact that i had to explain this says volumes about the way the sport is run
  22. The beckham kid wants a motorbike. Why dosent the bspa invite him along to a ride and skid day. Maybe just maybe he will see how brilliant riding a speedway bike is and fancy a proper go at the sport. At worst speedway gets some good short term publicity at best it gets a marketing mans dream
  23. and the whole british rider thing gets undermined by things like the devon v buxton meeting tonight when despite advertising the spot on facebook buxton had to ride with 5 riders and r/r ,surely a rider british rider who really wants to make it the sport would of gone even if it costs them money
  24. on another subject i made the following post .In days gone by riders were ordinary talented blokes that the fans made into hero's, today riders are ordinary talented blokes that are self proclaimed hero's and the fans are not buying into it. This is the point i was making, team speedway is about the Jim Tebby's of this world, riders that fans can identify with
  25. i agree about titanium it should not be allowed but the carbon fiber parts you get from poland and czech are cheaper than the alloy or fiberglass equivalant over here .
