  1. dont see the point, mx engines are not really readily available off the shelf,(you genrally buy the whole bike, not an engine) probably less so than a speedway engine,, if you go onto manufacturerers websites parts are not much cheaper, ie valves, pistons, rods etc (good standard), what happens to the gearbox, can see the radiator going in a first bend pile up (expensive), do you run on petrol which has already been ruled against in speedway or methanol then you have the same wear problems on the engine. negative view , yes, and have explained my reasons why.
  2. I must admit I have to agree with lionking , leics were Above redcar before losing at Newcastle so to drop below is strange and redcar to go through imo is wrong if the Newcastle v leics match was pp leics would be in 6th. Not too late for scb/bspa to change as has been proven with kl/pboro ruling this week
  3. Will be interesting to see who top two will be if rebels v Ipswich called off and edinburgh get 4 points at worky. Just thought Id throw that in
  4. Just a thought if rye/redcar is called off and not held before cut off date, who goes through, redcar or leicester?
  5. thank you still stand by it though still get that race on youtube with him passing billy and i think tacey on the line, like you say class and exciting
  6. lewis is scoring well this year (incl poland) and seems to have a good attitude at long last, take the blinkers off of past problems with him, damn site better than harris at this present time, so is ben and richie as i have said on the gb team thread start this year for the future, you may even get a surprise this year.
  7. this is a serious event as is the WORLD U21 championships, (oh yes , run the same day), this is the sort of event our riders should be entered into guys like birks/auty/cook/worrall etc should be doing these for the experience racing against some decent opposition on different tracks can only be good for them.
  8. no not just from gp performance on craig, just looking at him in general, i just think at times he is not hard enough and can roll it at times when he could push like i say that is my only critisiscm of him other than that he has got it, just the others as i say imo are more forceful when needed
  9. my thoughts are, tai, worrall, bridger, barker tai, speaks for himself, worrall,esp at lynn rising talent not phased by anyone bridger, this year really has sorted himself out a lot wont give him their vote due to previous antics/actions but i do believe he has shown enough to warrant it. barker, again like worrall not phased is riding well at the moment against everyone and will give it his all left out cook, feels he is nearly there but if doesnt gate not always the most committed, as proved at cardiff harris , sorry past it, should never have been w/c at cardiff, not the same guy i cheered on to win cardiff years ago, the past is the past auty, like him in league racing but sorry not going to get any better and gating is shocking something he should have corrected by now howarth, shouldnt be in the squad, lawson and birks at this time are way ahead of him but he will possibly get there in couple of years kennett, earlier in season i would of put ed in but has gone off boil lately, king, again like autyin league but never going to get any better time to move froward, a bit like the danes have done, a lot wont give us much hope anyway so use it to blood some young guys like lewis and richie, cook just needs to harden up a bit and is there then, a lot of youngster (u25) that are showing promise for the future and imo it is a shame more of them are not being used in the gb / aus tests that are taking place.
  10. imo, watching countless replays you can see that emil did roll it off a bit, everyone knows you cant just shut off a speedway bike it causes problems in itself if you do, i felt, again watching replays, zagar just lifted/twitched slightly to the right also he had a quick look to the right to see where emil was, i dont think he intentially wanted emil to crash but had shut the door too much. imo the right decision. good gp, not as good as bydgoszc but still some great racing especially from the young guns, shame about freddie and aj atb to both just a thought, if both miss the next gp which is possible, obviously we have the dross dryml back in but who is next reserve
  11. be interesting with magic and pawlicki due to be at poole that night for sky match
  12. bridger,north, woodward dont race pl. changes to the original series announcement already.
  13. theres some young brits out there, not had 6 seasons in pl, younger than 23 and are nice lads who are never given the meetings to prove theirselves or the time to develop, and are given no hope of getting anywhere in speedway by many on this forum.
  14. i think that was the point from neb, much the same scenario as makkinen and many other foreigners
  15. i would say give the spot to a young brit, but according to you there arent any, a prime case give one the time and chance to have a proper go
  16. but you have had a pay cap installed as well in pl, so everyone will be paid in relation within the team. and dont forget riders in pl are paying for their own tyres as well this year, but still dont have freedom of choice on which they use.
  17. ok if i got that wrong i will apologise, a clear announcement rather than threat of legal action would of done , you could of pm me. but come on this rule (and it is a rule) is wrong and contradicts speedway as a team sport, and while you are there perhaps as dfg has said please clear it up, and perhaps you could get on with my other question in ind/shared events about the british semi's thank you.
  18. how can you organise something for which there are no competitors.
  19. yes there are rules in pl this year a cap off £55 pp and no bp if in 3rd unless on tac, wether clubs get around it is up to them , but theses rules were brought in for 2013 and if clubs are found out to be breaking the rules they will be fined.
  20. not really as ipswich disagreed with it and are being loyal (a not often used word in speedway) to their riders and looking out for team morale, i have not seen the star, but would assume they are going to pay their riders bonus points, something that can be done seperately. sorry just seen your post dfb.
  21. they are breaking the rules, sheffield promotions idea, it was voted on at the agm as i understand, but ipswich, rye and somerset i am led to believe were the only votes against it, rediculous i feel a 3-3 can win / draw a match and the guy in 3rd passes his teammate to ensure being paid more, then his teammate gets passed by the guy in 4th 3-3 turns into 4-2 against match lost,or worse crashes into his teammate while trying to pass him, promoters fault not riders.
  22. i do like and see a lot of sense in your post, but the word brits should read, any rider british or foreign,
  23. actually somerset did announce they were after brady kurtz, but he does not get his British reduction (joke) until he is 17, so opted for stefan, who had strangely been overlooked by ipswich/scunny and possibly sheffield. if this hadnt happened stefan wouldnt be in the pl, i really hope he has a good season along with every other young brit.
