I keep having this idea go around in my head (as well as that one about the talking bear but I know that's not real) about running some teams in Viper. Something along the lines of four riders in each team. One for expert, and three each for the different Evo age groups (35-40, 41-45, 45+ etc)
Each rider would score points in their particular class all year and would have to drop a round by the years end. Then each riders points (for their special race) would be all added together and the team with the most points for the year are the winners.
I'd be happy to run such a sideline (as long as I can get the points soon after each meeting). I'd even be happy to sponsor trophies for the winners, or four slabs of your favorite drop or whatever.....
Anyway let me know what you think (even if we only got two teams....)
-
Ah...... the voices in your head again Ross (Sybil)
Great Idea i like it, it may even tempt me back for a round or 2 next year.
-
Maybe manufacturer teams? Team Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki etc. Team 465!! ;)
-
Yeah. Team 465! We can wear goat heads, walk hauntingly around the pits refusing interveiws and, and, and........
It's not like people would have to do any more than what they're already doing (except turn up of course!) and it would promote a bit of the old Spirit-de-Corp.
Mind you your team mates might beat the shit out of you if you ride like an old girl..... :P
-
Well that counts me out! :)
-
Don't be silly! These things are all about finishing every race you're in.
You gotta first finish to finish first..... ;)
-
I think we might have about four 465's in Viper next year. Should be good.
-
Could there be a "fat old bald pricks" team?
Cheers,

-
Certainly but you're not to scare the kids or scratch your 'goolies' in public. :D
-
How about a can't ride, can't catch, can't bowl team?
On a more serious note, I think this is a great idea. I can already see a RM team from hell forming up, to take down the Yamaha and Honda sheilas!
-
Bring it on.... ;)
-
What if you have a Suzuki and a Yamaha? Maybe some race fixing going on! Hmmmm
-
Hi guys have taken note of this i will look at this idea and see if i can fit it into the days racing will get back so any one and every one that likes the idea post a answer
-
We could enter team maico.. to kick start the european entry list. Shaun,myself, Clint Baker,stewie Muntz Marty ritchie( I hear marty has a 490 now), maico42 are all a chance for selection..
???
-
I'll start putting team Husqvarna together. Surely there will be some orientals that will need "mending".

Go the Euros.
I too heard that Marty has some trick 490 in the works for next season (I haven't seen it yet).
I also hear Mosig is interested in having a crack at VIPER on it too. Might be hard to stay on the same lap as Team Maico if that happens ;D
-
That be good to see, Mosig can ride the modern nationals on it if the ride for 2010 situation is not good for him :D
I reckon i could recruit Brent Landman to swing off a maico too if we were a rider down at any stage :o They would be blown away at how much fun u can have on a bike older than they are!
-
Team Husqvarna pre-season training starts when??
"Honey I can't let the team down I must ride in every VIPER meet" That will work ;D
It's a great idea..
-
If we made it so as each individual could drop a round for the year then that would take the preasure off having to attend every meeting. If we had four classes, what should they be?
As I said, I'd be happy to collate the points and stretch my short arm into a long pocket for a prize (you'd think being hero worshipped world-wide would be enough!.... :D)
-
TEAM MAICO will be less one maico rider this year stu has lost his mojo and is contemplateing turning japanese aswell .1980 honda 250.
that means ross nimmo and stu mugen will be like 2 sumos going at it hammer and chopsticks
-
The Maico's will have about 4 YZ 465's to do battle with next year.I reckon team Honda would own the 250's.
Suzuki the 125's
We might collectively be able to beat Simon Healy since team Kawie is a bit low on numbers . ???
