THE DEAN MACHINE

They are talking about modifying excisting silencers .they dont know what to do next they are like headless chickens. This silencer issue is a sad reflection of the way speedway in general is being run

Good to see a club being proactive and keeping their fans informed and in peoples minds. Keep it up and hope you have every sucess in your venture

ask "the know" on here ,he has ploughed a fair bit into sponsorship of speedway

At one time i did want the job of nl boss when i quit riding but not anymore .i think to do it you have to tow the bspa line and thats not me . We would be at war within a month , im not saying i would of been considered for the post but i did for a while see this as something after racing , i have seen abit behind the scenes so to speak and i dont agree with it and would want to change things and well to put it bluntly its the bspa way or no way

they are FIM approved ones therefore they are special and you must use those ones because nobody else can make anything as strong and safe as ones approved by the FIM its the law as far as i can see the fixings consist of 2 clips some washers/spacers they are carbon fibre so the shouldnt break

i see the new heat shields for silencers are for sale on ebay at £57 without fittings and £80 with fittings , a bargain for all riders but not to worry because the FIM /SCB/BSPA are going to foot the bill for every rider because they created this problem with the new silencers so its only fair that they foot the bill , well i think thats how it works? ,oh no silly me some people in suits have a brainwave and riders have to foot the bill as usual

because its not speedway. Speedway is 4 combustion engine noisey bikes being ridden 4laps round a dirt track by 4 brainless idiots, anything else is just not speedway

Speedways problems are not what happens inside the safety fence. It dosent need to change , its the people who run it who need to change Not sure why it quoted that twice but if you ever need proof that battery power dosent work there it is . Bloody phones

Electric speedway would be like being at a funeral , probly my funeral cause it will happen over my dead body. Its funny how noise isnt an issue in f1. Twice ad loud ad speedway and a track can apear in your town. Instead of bending over and getting shafted ,stand up for speedway and noisey sports

Why don't we just put goals at the end of the track and replaced bikes with balls. It wouldn't be speedway but niether would electric bikes. I actually feel insulted that people could ever consider this. Cum on feel the noize I just had an idea, why dont we put an elastic band round the back wheel hub then the mechanics can push the riders backwards for 4laps till the elastic goes tight then get them to start and then let them go . Its just as much as an insult as the elecric idea is

I think the electric could be better used plugged into a chair for all the people who think this is a good idea This is blasphemy

the problem dosent lie within the safety fence of speedway tracks. Its what happens outside the track

i know its not but im sick to death of being told i cant enjoy noise. I put up with other peoples lives . Religion. Football and other dull things folk like. I think one of the greatest noises on the planet is being in the pits when bikes are being warmed up

well count me out . Its not speedway noise is my life and just cause im in the minority dosent make my life less valid

No no no no no no no no no no no no no nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and no ,speedway is noise , oil ,dirt and dangerous anything other than that is just crap

The nl is and had always been a stepping stone for riders but the main focus has got to be entertainment for the paying public. Without the paying public there is no speedway for young riders to progress to

I agree its more than one thing but i am looking for what people think was the start of the decline .i also agree the laydowns were a significant factor but i think it started before laydowns My misses said that aswell

Me and the misses were just having a debate about the decline of speedway and was there a single thing which started the decline. She said the time when characters started to be repremanded for a bit of playing up, so much so that there are very few characters today. I said bruce penhall retiring, speedway just seem to slowly slide away after he quit. Its not dead just yet but its definatly not thriving. Whats everybody elses single moment?

Thats a fair point and im not going to defend it cause my reply will only be a biased one

And that view is an insult to every paying fan that attends NL. Its speedway its about winning and its why fans follow teams . They want their team to win. It does provide riders with a stepping stone by it nature but say its just that and its just training and people wont go . Its a 3rd division . The start of the british rider issues are not in the national league ,its when they move up . The spaces are given to untried foriegners and some of them are not up to it but are given the chance over a british rider and it shouldnt be allowed. But there is also is a issue with some of the young british riders who suffer from "big sign written van syndrome" and think they are superstars and because they have speedway rider writ on the van they think they should have a premier place

Bz or finn jensen gravity carbs are good . Get a blixt when you are racing in league

If this series is shown on live tv .has all the top riders and pays big money and the gp is not on tv dosent it devalue the gp somewhat. The general floating fan will think this is the gp. Apart from being world champion why would any rider let alone fan prefer the gp to this series. If its a sucess it will expand to more countrys and surely bsi must be worried about this

When dudley met mildenhall at the end of the season the fans of both teams just wanted their team to win . They didnt pay their money to watch riders training to be better riders. They want their heroes .The national league is by its nature a stepping stone for riders and does a good job but you cant dish up a training league and expect people to pay to watch it. Speedway at all levels is about winning

its a 2.0 tdi front wheel drive ,short wheel base low roof and from memory y reg
