Coventry V Cradley Nl Koc Sf 26/9/14
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Ommer Mon's topic in National League Speedway
It dosent matter who was to blame just fine the riders and move on. They shook hands tonight so obviously they are over it. What happened off the track just get them to shake hands and move on. It should stay within speedway, we dont need anybody else involved (police etc) because if that happens we all will suffer in the future .health and safety is already poking its ugly head into speedway and we dont need it -
The Decline Of British Speedway

Having just watched the polish playoff's it hard to believe british speedway is the same sport -
Belle Vue V Coventry & Kings Lynn 22/9
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Rob B's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Although the modern silencer has other bad isues (heat). I dont think it would of made difference before laydowns because revs were alot lower then even though actual bike speed was pretty much the same.current Tyres silencers and the engine(light flywheels) in a confind space make a dangerous sport more dangerous. On a smooth track the modern bike is easy to ride but how often is a track like that and then the bike is like riding a missile that has a very senstive trigger -
Belle Vue V Coventry & Kings Lynn 22/9
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Rob B's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
the problem is the bikes are high reving and the back wheels are skating across the surface .when you shut the throttle the wheel slows and starts to pick up traction so for 1 second the bike picks up actual speed although the back wheel is slowing .this is different to other sports because they are not wheel spining .there wheels do 70mph and there bike is doing 70mph ,in speedway if the bike is doing 70mph the back wheel is doing 90mph. The problem with the cuuent silencer is its design creates back pressure and makw the it nessesary to keep the engines at full rev to keep the speed up. If you have to shut off because the power needed is at the top revs it takes a few seconds to get it back and on a speedway track that few seconds is kerb to fence and the bike is driving forward rather than the wheel spinning. The old silencers didnt create back pressure and in long stroke engine there was more managable power between bottom and top of rev range so was easier to get out of trouble. Im sure there is a lesson for speedway to learn in this but i doubt it will -
Darcy Ward Topic?
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to iand's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
It failed the content test and has been suspended until a punishment has been dreamed up because it is such a quality debate that if it were banned the whole future of debates would cease to exist .but im hardly in a position to judge as i only use crayons to post instead of a laptop -
The Decline Of British Speedway
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to customhouseregular's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
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 -

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 -

THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Ghostwalker's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
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 -

Vojens Gp 2014
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Ghostwalker's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
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 -
Vojens Gp 2014
THE DEAN MACHINE replied to Ghostwalker's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
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 . -

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
