Jikov is so easy to point out sort comings but can you offer solution other than turning away half the potential entries with bring a chair type statements.

Jikov was just beating his chest and probably regrets being confrontational.....or not

Why do people love to play the devil's advocate so much with this stuff.

Can someone like Col Metcher jump into here.

Cmo'n Michael , Jikov or Mr MA scrutineer whatever hat you have on today  give these people some answers , You stirred all this up If your post was well intentioned then say so, all we have had as a response is sarcasm 


Brad 090 I totally agree that before every major event there is a mountain of shit that goes no where on this forum   But when the shit stirring is started by an official then confidence is quickly lost .

Now you've upset TMBill even more, he has now sent the "Asasin" over to clean up the mess...the asasin, AKA the buzzard, AKA the bomb thrower, AKA the Kati kati cooper killer has left the building and will arrive in Brisbane toomoroow, this bloke makes Sacha Baron Cohen look like an ammature.....you wont know what he looks like, Jikov had better start running.

I think I liked it better when you guys talked politics

Wait until he finds out he can't wear his spoofy helmet Anyway looks like everyone is going to have a great relaxing day and I am only sorry I will not be there to attend..... 59 days to go

Hi,
Remember back in the old days when Pre 75 VMX started , we had the same "discussions" about 4 inch rear suspension , the Mag Huskies , 74.5 Maicos , Yam YZB's were all complaining about having to restrict their (Standard Factory)suspension travel,
those who wouldn't comply went elsewhere, the others sucked it up and played by the rules and went on to enjoy their racing ,
I think there is a message there for all of us ,
cheers

Hi
Sorry , I have changed my "sign in", so that people will know me off and on the track .
ps;
There is a MAQ Clerk of the Course/Stewards course 14 April, and Scrutineers course on 28 April,  vacancies still open, (for those who care enough to make a difference in our sport).
Imagine this! Michael Bamford Level 4, Steward/Clerk of the Course ,Level 4 Scrutineer, doesn't that just bring a big  smile to your face , I wonder how I can become a Historic/Classic Eligibility Commissioner?.
cheers

Edited: I don't know you from a bar of soap Michael Bamford but you really do sound like a power hungry person to me.  You may well be a very nice person but based on what I've read of your posts, that's how you come across to a perfect stranger.

More power to you .. I hope you use it for good and not evil 

[TM BILL]

Michael thanks for responding

But are you going to answer the questions raised by your earlier comment

Regards Bill.

As I said earlier in the thread, I have no problem with obeying the rules if you want to race in the class. I just do not understand the rationale behind them. A 1974 Husky Mag 250 is undoubtedly Pre-75, but the rider is put to the disadvantage - having one of the best bikes in the class - of having to limit its travel. Perhaps call it the "Pre-75-with-73-suspension-class"? I repeat that I understand that the rule exists and must be observed; I do not understand WHY it exists.

So out of the 20 odd pre 75 model just 3 needed to be modified (personally I don't think they should)
Out of the 20 odd pre 77 models probably only 3 dont need to modified to fit the rules
That is the difference.

Aye.

So what stock 1977 model MX bikes are legal under the 9/9" rule?

YZ125D
CR125M3
RM250/370B

What else?
The bigger YZs and RM125B are apparently out, all of the bigger Euro stuff is out... Really comes down to the Euro 125s?

[motomaniac]

most 75 and 76 models except the bigger Bultaco forks (I think) ,
77 model rm250's 370's ,77 cr125/250's, CZ's,stock TT500's. ....
