So 16 riders can be whittled down to 4 for the final. Unless you expect to see 16 riders in one race for your entrance fee. It really isn't difficult to understand.

But the best rider over 21 or 23 heats did..

What a thoughtful and insightful cretin you are. We all know you don't like speedway as it is now and would rather live in the past so why don't you just feck off and spend your time involved in something you do enjoy?

As far as I'm aware having used GTS made Kevlars, the materials for the speedway suits are the same as for the road suits.

Here's another percentage for you JTW. 90% of your posts prove you don't have much knowledge. Certain types of Kevlar have been approved for tarmac racing. GTS supplied many suits to sidecar crews.

I believe I first heard the term used at a Wombwell Colliers match in 1965. One of the young fans was standing near to my ear trumpet and could be clearly heard. I understand that it means it's an 'obvious decision that requires no thought'.

And isn't it supposed to be beginners that these bikes are aimed at? Don't think I've seen any beginners ride full gas for 4 laps so like you I can't see the advantage of these bikes. it would be interesting to see them tested by some good riders independently though.

I would take a guess that there was a 100% increase in turnover when comparing 1996 to 1997.

You're the one who aggressively replied to other posters defending the use of air fences/ foam barriers. The DeanMachine even gave you a direct example of a crash he was involved in, which I witnessed and YOU replied with a sarcastic post. The original question you asked is a valid one.

FFS are you retarded?

He was at Veenoord NL Saturday and won the meeting. Kyle Newman was 4th.

Have a look on the left side of the crankcases just below the barrel. Assuming you have a laydown type it should be marked with 884 or 889. The 884 is the longstroke model with a bore and stroke stamped on as 85x87 and the 889 is the shortstroke with a bore and stroke of 90x77.6.

Any rider that is over 25 or doesn't increase his average by half a point every season should be shot.

Honda CRF 450 piston and cylinder plus gaskets, 1124 quid. Same parts for a GM would be around 650 quid.

When I was a yoof I had a Honda CR250 engined grasser. That was a lot more expensive to run than any of my GMs or Jawas and more labour intensive.

It's not that difficult if you're trying to explain it to people with brains that work.

Agreed. The air fence at Leicester is tethered to a wire mesh fence top and bottom and so far has not been moved out of the way by a bike leaving an exposed pole or something for the rider to hit. The wire mesh fence itself does a very good job of absorbing any impact as was proved in the Bjerre/Neiminen crash a few years ago.

I think it was the same meeting where your team mate Dan Blake suffered a compound break of the leg after his bike moved the air fence and he hit the wooden boards feet first. If it had been tethered better he might have walked away the same as you did.

Motocross does have the unique ability to find even thicker fans than speedway does.

He was offered a place at Leicester a couple of months ago but turned it down due to work commitments at the time.

Yeah I bet Simon never realised that. Perhaps you should advise him next time?

Edinburgh and Glasgow fans would love having 2 compulsory ENGLISH riders in their teams.

I had a similar view to you and tend to agree.

A disparaging term used by spineless terrace dwellers. It's a term that is on an equally low level as gating tart.

Only those that didn't read your post properly.
