yeah? well you can pee off as well..pipe smoking commies and bilge rats ganging up on me! (any wonder im a horses ass???)

aww, p*ss off..

Ian, be careful. since i have yer back beware hear tell he is an expert mixed martial arts fighter with a hair trigger. he is a real deal bilge rat, and my back has been killin me lately and my fighting skills have diminished over the years so beware. i mean, i still have yer back and all, but its mainly because you have a nice boat.

"dear mr. shell answer man..why do all the danish speedway racers speak english with a kiwi accent?" answer... they don't! kiwi speedway racers speak english with a danish accent, mr. smart pants. quite simple really.

i dunno.. that last album you were a part of years ago kind of sucked. (no offence). but you of all people know late morning and afternoons the wind blows except when ya get becalmed. still its better that getting pooped mid ocean, besides, when things are a bit tough a set of sails are cheaper than diesel. anyway, anybody else notice how the tracks were slick in these old films? even norden, where Ole gets covered in wet shale there is still dust? still, Ole had a really great style. and why do all the danes talk with a kiwi accent when they speak english?

Ian, The bikes are definately faster now. They probably have a good second a lap advantage over the last of the uprights.. But.. I think the deep tracks suited the uprights and the laydowns are too much of a handful to race a consistent four fast laps on anything deep. So, he probably set the record on a deep track. How long did Neilsens track record stand at Oxford? He was on an upright correct? Could be wrong, dead brain cells. My gosh, a hybrid modern bike with the latest short stroke engines, latest forks in an upright frame on a really deep track with a capable racer would be really interesting. p.s. how have the residuals been going from the old music? has the trend toward hip hop and rap cut them back and if so are you going to have to downsize to a smaller boat without air conditioning and ice maker?

Fair play.. Sorry..

Iris, His results speak for themselves. He was a terrific rider, whether people liked him or not. He slipped from 1980 onwards, but during his peak he was really good. Just listen to Ivans words in the video. Coming from him that is good enough for me. Very rarely do I disagree with you but this time I have to. Ole was the real deal in my opinion.

That was a really nice tribute to a great racer. Funny really, he was a champion back when all of the top fellas rode speedway, grasstrack & longtrack, and Ole was equally adept on them all. He was as tough as they come, and nobody can argue that.

you guys have far too much time on your hands.

I have heard rumours of interest in staging a GP in Las Vegas. Preliminary of course, but man what a concept.

really a nice fella from what i could tell. i do know he was teased a lot about looking like Barry Manilow.

The 300 pound American rider Tumbleweed Walton!

Happy Birthday to a grand old lady. Great track.. and history. Respect.

Bitchin is a term used on the west coast of the US to describe something good. Like, the waves were bitchin today, or "sandmans boat was pretty bitchin about ten years ago". Emil has a bitchin style.. sandmans dogs are bitchin. ice racing is bitchin. kauai is bitchen. some polynesian women are really bitchin lookin. the dalmation coast is obviously bitchin. croation women are bitchin. the salty dog saloon in port a is bitchin. catamarans are primo bitchen. middlo is kind of bitchin. laydown bikes on deep tracks are bitchin. well, there it is in a nutshell.
