Which Rider Have You Never Taken To?


Recommended Posts

It's just SCB reading things that aren't being said again. That 'I Was Wrong' T-Shirt must be worn out by now. :wink:

Always thought Michael Lee was overrated and imo was the worst culprit for continually pushing the tapes to gain an unfair advantage at the start.

 

Was quite pleased when some refs eventually cottoned on to this and scuppered his start antics.

 

Once this happened, his results tapered off and he resorted to being a petulant victim of these "nasty referees" :P

There's been quite a few down the years!

 

Sean Wilson being one!

 

Another was Alan Mogridge...... then I interviewed him after the Fours at Workington for the GRTMedia DVD, in one of his last meetings before retiring...... I nearly apologised to him half way through the interview, as he was a thoroughly nice bloke to interview (unlike some!!).

So was Ivan Mauger overated then? he was probably the greatest roller on earth but he was still a great rider.The starts then added to the excitement for me and often riders got punished by themselves by being left at the start.Now i hate the starts a rider anticipates the start skillfully yet it gets dragged back often stopping the flow and the excitement of the meeting.

Eddie Kennett (Cheater)

Nicki Pedersen (Vile / Dangerous)

Chris Harris (Dangerous)
Ben Baker (Nob)

Hans Andersen (Embarrassment to himself)

Peter Kildemand (I'll be honest, I just don't like his face. Looks too much like Shrek)

Lewis Bridger (I've been warming up to him a little, but still a massive pikey)

I'm sure you really know already but we're not allowed to mention the connection on the forum so you'll have to keep guessing. :lol:

Thanks, you gave me the best laugh I've had in ages. Most people talk with their mouth. :rofl:

Jason Crump for me. As anti English as they come even though he, his father and his grandfather owe their careers to England. He whinged non stop for the 15 years of his carrer, complained about everything and anything, broke Billy Hamill's back then pretended he'd dislocated his shoulder in play acting worthy of a premier league game. Then once he'd won the world title he was Mr Friendly family man. Every interview was a condecending comment and he tried to take credit for Holders win because he spoke to him before the semi final re run. Was again, all for the cameras IMO. That being said, as a rider he was bloody good.

 

Others dont like:

David Howe - When he was younger thought he was going to be world champion and this poop didnt stink. Now he's another 'Mr Nice Guy'

Nikki P: Is gonna seriously hurt someone one day the maniac.
Troy Batchelor: See above
Kasprzak: Actually takes the p*ss out of the paying public so inconsistent.

Mother - English, Father Australian, Born in the British Isles - that makes him British in my book. Pity he regarded himself as Australian.

Are you kidding? So if someone murder someone and kills themselves you think they're beyond any criticism in life? Far from it IMO.

 

 

 

I might be wrong, but I don't think that's what he was saying...........It's certainly not how I perceived it :)

Gary Havelock

 

Never liked him, and liked him even less after he defecated on Stoke fans from a great height.

 

Sooner he is gone from the sport completely the better
