  1. and there is speedways problem nobody challenges anything. Speedway is littered with bad ideas and they get steam rolled in unchallenged but much like the GP's i am not suprised you will not take up the challenge in your magazine (of which i do buy) because you dont want to upset your mates

  3. and that is because nobody (riders mechanics,fans and machine examiners ) gives a damn about the dirt deflector and its claims to hold .it hasnt brought one person through the turnstiles and hasnt done anything for safety of the sport .
  4. if you say so. All those years riding then it must of been people throwing rocks at me and they must have been the same ones at the czech gp last year because it couldnt of been shale from the tracks
  5. of which thats what it has always done with or without dirt deflectors. They are a waste of money in a sport that can not afford it. Fine if thats what you want then let the sport dissapear into history because nobody will challenge the boys club .ive pretty much had enough of the way speedway is run. Self intrest and jobs for the boys are killing speedway. A good shake up of speedway starting with the bikes is needed but will it happen ? I doubt it because nobody will challenge anything because they dont want to upset their mates
  6. as i said in czech gp go sit on the middle of 1st /2nd bend seats .it is almost unwatchable how much shale hits you .i sat there last year and had to stand at the back along with most others in the same area. Its an expence that is not needed in speedway
  7. lets get all the riders to have a vote .if they vote to keep them then fine. And swap your tickets at the czech gp for seats on the first 5 rows about 3/4 round first bends and you will soon find they do nothing for spectators either, and i make no apology for looking out for the sports intrests instead of creaming whats left of our once great sport. and as some fans have said on here they get hit by shale. At scunthorpe some fans have clear unberellas on the first bend cause the dirt hurts so much. What does that tell you ?
  8. reasonable point. He is stating it as fact without ever having used one. Lol .why should riders have to make the best of it?.its time for speedway to get its house in order and start with the bikes
  9. completey incorrect "fitted properly or not " they dont do a damn thing and never have ,oh im sorry i have no idea what im talking about .i would be intetested to hear about your personal experiances phillip using the dirt deflector and not just quoting from your mates
  10. Weslake speedway bike wanted . Pm me
  11. The bikes ,of which todays bikes with the engines tyres and silencers dont help
  12. Speedway is something that has hurt me many times ,emptied my bank more than once ,ended more than one relationship, makes me rant at least once a week, sometimes leaves me deflated,often leaves me wondering why i bother but above all else its utterly fantastic and is well and truly part of what makes me. To me its sport entertainment and a way of life
  13. im not knocking the riders and to a point im not knocking scunny .my point is you shouldnt put out a team of 6 new riders in one go and therefore making the match a non event. Its not fair to the public. And why the hell use r/r .
  14. This is the question. What is the point od the NL ? Is it ti train riders ? Or is it for fans entertainment ? If its for fans entertainment then scunny are short changing the fans of the league .if its for bringing on riders then it should be free to watch and riders should pay to ride. The league has always been a first step on ladder fir riders but it should never be at the expence of the entertainment for the paying public
  15. I will say this as a former rider and currently mechanic ,there are riders that will always help other riders with advice etc and they are not made captain but help anyway and there are riders who dont help are strangely are made captain and do nothing
  16. and jason still wore kevlar/nylon suits after that even though he did try leather,what does that tell you ?. Speedway is dangerous .
  17. well it was a freak accident and they will always happen from time to time but mudgaurds have been lowered since so as the arm cant go under the mudgaurd now
  18. Kevlar is ok for speedway because of the type of crash that happens. In road race they slide along on the tarmac when they crash so leather is needed but in speedway like motocross the crash tends to be an impact crash and no suit be it leather or nylon makes a real difference to protection .a kevlar set with a good leather peice to cover the backside bit is the perfect set for speedway. But as usual men in suits no better
  19. tim if your after a jrm .adam has one from poland .its a 2011 one .we have pictures of its insides. It fresh from service with new parts and ready to go .its £950 and in wolverhampton
  20. i agree i wish cradley and others would pay less so as buxton lynn and scunny would be on level playing field but that aside everything cradley do the do right .living where i do you just cant ignore them ,they are everywhere, even more than wolves. I would say that the point of mildenhall,s season is to beat and be better than cradley and so it should be .thats what there fans want and expect for their money and thats what makes speedway exciting and surely thats the point
