waiheke1 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Bomber has been fine in the El, whereas in the gps he has been lacking speed for several seasons now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Bomber hasn't looked comfortable on the bike all season, and seems to be lacking speed. Seem to find the speed later on in meetings, heat 15 on Friday for example. Doesn't help he doesn't always make the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) He looked very comfortable to me in the Bees vs Aces "A" meeting.He has for a lot of our meetings and was scoring double figures. It's just been the last few meetings he's been hit and miss. He got injured a couple of weeks ago and then crashes heavily a few days later in the grasstrack event which might be part of it. Seems low on power as well. Edited July 25, 2016 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Bomber hasn't looked comfortable on the bike all season, and seems to be lacking speed. We (as in my group) picked up on this. in two of the races he was at the back he looked like he was trying but didn't look right and almost looked uncomfortable. Yet in the race he had with Scott Nicholls and heat 15 he looks like proper Bomber. A really odd meeting from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even his 3rd ride he didn't look great, shut off when he got close to Worrall. Seemed OK in his others. Said he had bike issues that night so maybe more about the bikes than carrying an injury which he has suffered with recently. Only he will know.

Woz01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 When has bomber never had bike issues? True. Since the silencers changed he's always struggled with reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbee Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Trouble with Harris is he don't know a lot about the mechanical side of the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 But isn't that why he employs staff/mechanics? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naffer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I think he just needs his mechanic to say, "Get on the bike you pastie muncher and win the race" That would work wouldn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoombdog Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Bomber fits in well at Coventry because he always has an excuse handy like a few of the fans whenever they get beat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
