Do you REALLY think the riders are in it for the trophies more than the money?…….Oh dear!…..

So……nothing to do with where the Dingo Dollars are then?……lol

They’ve already had a Roo Boy……….now they want a Rew Boy???…….lol

That’s what I thought…….Vissing was only put out there by us fans to suit the numbers game so not sure of his inclusion or even his interest in riding.

Did you miss the Scotland part?…..lol

Just read on the Poole page that Rew will most probably ride for a Scottish team this year……???

Thomas obviously too high an average. I was getting mixed up as I had him as an alternative fit to Vissing in case he didn’t fancy it.

Lol Complin…….edited….

Complin, Thomas, Zischke or another 4pt. Aussie perhaps?

A lot maybe, but nowhere near the majority……….if he is indeed our no.1, most of us are going to be very happy.

Really??…….I’d love to know how you could possibly know these details?……..are you the team accountant?

Would have been very disappointed if he hadn’t signed…….Great news……..

Electric greyhounds anyone?………..lol

Yup, track spares never seemed to be kept in great nick but they were a necessity back in the day as riders generally only had the one bike which was usually transported on a rack across the backs of their cars or on a wee trailer. The only other option, if things went wrong, was to borrow a team mate’s bike. Most riders in those days did their own mechanics too and the only other personnel involved were pushers. Speedway was also only a full time job for very few.

I remember him advising the (troublesome at the time) street bikers to come and vent their adrenaline on the Meadowbank track instead of alienating other road users.

Would just need the same two bikes for the whole meeting too……lol

…….in a huff…..lol

Not the best comparison though……..Stock Car racing isn’t a professional sport. Only the best over a season get a financial bung as far as I know so not anywhere near the expense of running a Speedway club.

…..or maybe battery goosed by taking too many wet track close-up pics……lol

Has he checked it’s not on “silent”……lol

No different from any other part of life though, Fromafar……….we’re paying more for less of everything these days as far as I can see.

They all say that…….lol

Don’t think he’ll be short of a few bob and don’t think he’s just in it for the money. He has a passion for riding bikes and winning.

Sure it’s not Castlemaine xxxx you’re drinking?……..…….lol

I think you’re basing your assumptions on the remarks of a few of the usual sceptics on this forum. Harris, to my mind, is still very much a class act and puts many bums on seats. Entertainment is what speedway is all about (or should be)….and he is still the king of that.
