  1. Some riders are still testing both, I see Paul Hurry has one now. There are some posters who seem to dig out anything not 100% positive about GTRs. On the whole the number of GTR users is increasing.
  2. Presumably you mean Richie Worrall? He usually goes well, good job Kus isn't still at Redcar or you'd struggle to get him out of the lavatory with Richie riding.
  3. I rather suspect that someone else might have influenced his decision to retract his posts, he certainly didn't show "sound common sense" in making them and the "heat" seemed to last a good few moments. All rather sad really, I wish him well but I also wish that he'd return to the fold and just get on with it.
  4. There IS something wrong with that, he played along as much as those who weren't 100% complimentary did and then reduced himself to a low level. I can fully understand him not riding in the Premiership but I can't understand why he won't ride for GB or in the national championship. Surely he would exert more influence from inside than by staying away? It all comes across as a personal dislike of Rosco, there may be other riders who wouldn't choose him as a personal friend but they haven't been so petty about things as Tai has. It's good that we have a rider at the top level but he certainly seems to make hard work of getting the supporters behind him (with the exception of the 'nodding dogs' for whom the great one can do no wrong).
  5. While I agree that it was a good move and certainly brought some riders on, who were the three?

  7. Statement from Glasgow boss...... Glasgow boss Stewart Dickson said: “We can't argue with the paramedics. I can understand if a rider is taken not well. “The only thing I would add is the timing of it - the fact that it took 40 minutes to repair the air fence and the rider in question was fine up until then, but the minute the air fence was repaired, he suddenly took not well. “The timing seemed a bit odd. But we wish the rider well. It was obviously very serious for the Redcar promotion to abandon the meeting.” The 'rider' is in hospital with back and shoulder problems!
  8. One young hopeful replaced by another.
  9. He hasn't offered help (others have), he attempted to take charge. If he volunteered help, he could influence things from inside. Apologies for going off topic.
  10. That is absolute nonsense, we have the Poultec set-up and training camps, we have experienced riders involved and we even have guidance on personal fitness and diet, what we don't have is learning to talk out of the wrong orifice, that seems to be the preserve of such as you.
  11. I agree with you but I can't understand how you disagreed with the other guy, I couldn't make much sense out of his post.
  12. PJR has already produced a one-off alternative. What the specifications are and whether it can be produced in large numbers is yet unknown. The thing is that he and others are already seeing the need to up their game, so Marcel deserves thanks if future engines have a better reliability. I did post a photo of the PJR engine, a few weeks ago on this thread, it appears to be a converted GM. I should also add that the UK engines are sealed and can only be serviced by approved agents.
  13. There is R/R and and fans don't 'turn up' anyway. I did advocate re-declaring if necessary. It doesn't bother some people but the sport lacks credibility to a whole lot more.
  14. There is no need for guest riders and missing riders should have to be replaced by up and coming NL riders. Nothing wrong with re-declarations though.
  15. Funny though that everyone who has got one has upped their game. There's nothing 'gullible' about buying a mechanically superior product.
  16. I suspect that if the real figures were known the media would pay even less attention to Speedway. Obviously more people would like to know than wouldn't, that's natural curiosity but I don't really see what purpose is being served.
  17. Does anyone actually have a sponsorship with GM?
  18. Well I'm a 'fan' and I'm very happy how things are going whether he chooses to join in or he doesn't.
