THE DEAN MACHINE

I have posted this elsewhere but i believe this has contributed considably to the decline of speedway. In days gone by riders were ordinary talented blokes that the fans made into superstars ,today riders are ordinary talented blokes that are self proclaimed superstars and the fans are not buying into it. This is not about an individual rider but how fans cant relate to riders anymore

ok thats a fact rather than opinion but should they have 4 passes .? Do they need anybody else in the pits other than mechanics after all its the pits ,a place to prep bikes etc ,

i wasnt refering to you personally ,it was to everyone. I dont care what anyone says about me but you say my opinion is wrong which it proberly is but you dont give your opinion whixh might be right. Thats what i was getting at. I will give a detailed opinion about something to the best of my knowledge and someone will just say your wrong. Because???. Lets have opinions

yes put him in a seperate area then if tai needs to speak to him he can go and speak to him but get him and everybody but rider and 2 mechanics out of pits. What next? mystic meg in somebodys pit crew.Dont just come on saying im wrong ,its flawed, im an idiot ,i was a crap rider etc,lets hear why im wrong and what your opinion is. Im trying to get to the bottom of why speeedway is on its arse. It dosent matter if you have never rode a bike or a world champ your opinion counts .lets hear them

not quite sure what my lack of credentials have got to do with it but oh well i will shut up then ,thats put me in my place

i know what she is but she has no reason to be in the pits ,put her and the other hangers on in a special pit area .no need for anybody else except rider and 2 mechanics and while we are talking about hangers on get monster doris out of the pits. The GP dosent need someone in the pits doing backstreet boy poses

more to the point why is she in the pits at all .it should be 2 mechanics and 1 rider. Get rid of all these hangers on ,they are not needed .

it might not be him but he seems to be popping up around speedway again and does he not live that way? Why the secret ?

Nigel wagstaff seems to be back on the scene

On a slightly different note .what is going on in the Chris Harris camp? .his riding is what it is but how many breakdowns is he having.it shouldnt happen at that level .a chain last night ,what happened did it snap or link not fitted properly either way a back chain shouldnt come off .i can understand a primary chain snapping but not a rear unless it is a old worn chain and i cant believe Chris would use an old chain. Nobody else has this many breakdowns at GP level

my point about mr rising is he follows the pack like a sheep and never will report even when the incident or event or whatever is indefencable and he has the media at his disposal. My second point ,i didnt even give my point on the incident. I might of thought pedersen should of been excluded but if i did its because of what i saw not what all my mates said and 3rd i will edit the name calling but the rest is true. I am fed up with the way this wonderfull sport is being killed and it needs people like me to ask questions because our only magazine wont because it scared of upsetting people

yes we get the odd word and thats it. Never any blame, nothing

yes and im putting it to him now .he has the media to say these things but wont . He wont say a word against BSI even when they screw up (and they do ) only reports the good and that is propaganda yes to rid the sport of hoovers and get the sport back where it belongs

ok you obviously are missing the point. This isnt about your ,my or anybodys opinion .Take it you didnt go to riga?. That took a big carpet to sweep that under. That wasnt opinions it was a disgrace but did it get a indepth peice in the worlds leading speedway magazine? Asking questions on behalf of the fans..

harsh maybe but very true. My point is not about one incident its more about so called journalism or propaganda

when was the last time you disagreed with your GP buddies or even BSI or for that matter anybody who affords you your saga fortnightly holidays? .you have the media to speak out but you dont

dont you have an opinion or are you just agreeing with" your mates" as usual. Did Barry Briggs say it was all caused because the dirt deflector was set a wrong height ?. My mate said bls bla bla .pathetic

just as armstrong comes along side priest you can hear armstrongs engine blow up and thats the reason for armstrong hitting priest and causing the crash

What will replacing one man achieve? .speedways problems go far deeper than replacing one man. The whole sport needs to change ,the bikes ,the pay,the rules, the riders. Start with 4 riders racing over 4 laps and work upwards. .when any rule is proposed ask the question will it bring fans through the turnstiles?. If not dont do it. The thing about it is we have one of the breathtaking and exciting forms of entertainment in the world to start with.

Speedway and Joan Rivers ,both in their 80s,both have a love/hate relationship with the public ,both have had cosmetic surgery to cover up the cracks without much sucess and both die on the same day. *no disrepect intented towards Joan Rivers* R.I.P

the barrel and head are offset from the center of the crank cases

what about if someone dies from being burnt from the current ones which produce a crazy amount of heat and befire you say about shield they dont cover the whole silencer.

Well lets just say you only ever hear about pjr or any other tuners when they are sucessfull. Just before it closed one riders new top tuned engine nearly blew a hole in the startline at birmingham .i didnt see that tuner telling the world how good his motors were that day.

If ward gets off without a ban imo all the other riders should protest . He has a problem and should be banned and if no ban is forthcoming we may aswell all give up now because without rules you have nothing and i dont care if he is the greatest rider in history or a mdl rider he broke the rules

from personal experiences at domestic level they seem to test in monthly periods .i or my team mates were tested 3 times in 2weeks and then nothing till the next year when you would see a few weeks of testing and then nothing .without naming names or teams a few years ago i saw some sorry states after cardiff gp and was in the meeting with some of them the next day when they didnt look to great then and it showed in their racing. I dont think they would of past a test that day
