:lol::lol:

I have to say master Dickie, you've made me nearly wet myself twice now in a week from laughing.

All TP needs to do is have a shave :lol:


...and my arm would be OK too :D

Read my race report :P

Thanks Chass, but it sounds like I'm sorted now :D

Simple, get 70% of the racers to agree, and bring the motion to the racing committee as a proposal to have 2 or 3 distinct classes within the series.

It's that bloody simple lads!

Sorry Chris, Mike and John for telling them how to do this, and give you a headache!

Flanks: they dont do simple:lol::lol:

Sounds easy eh?

Except 60% of them (inc me now - apparently) are on 620's and they don't recognise there is an issue.

PMSL..................:burn:

from neil spaldings article about the series:


The rules are designed to allow the inveterate fiddlers a chance to build a quick 674, for the rest the easy way in is to buy a 620ie……

By the time we are halfway through the season I'll wager a modified manifold / carburettor 674cc kitted 600 will be making 62 is bhp and a properly built 621cc will be on the same…



if you read the whole article alot is made about carburation not just a case if simply bolting on a big bore kit.


in answer to the original post. yes if you and the majority want 2 or more tables have them. i think you'll find there are plenty of people who dont care one way or the other.

I'm on 620 and I agree with 3 classes, just because there are 3 different engines allowed...

Class 583
Class 618
Class 674

It's easy...

Dom,

Look, write up a proposal, mail it to all the racers, and ask them to sign it, and send it back. Put as much effort as you've done into this debate, and you may have you're day.

Mark.

You're damn right it's this easy! Plus the slower 620 guys get more points, as some of the 583 etc beat them.

whatever.:barfy:

my last word on the subject:

firstly; i do understand the debate about 573 getting up to 620 levels with correct big bore kits and carburation, which to my mind no one has actually done yet anyway so its difficut to say. but everyone knew the rules when they entered and, no matter what anyone says everyone had a choice over what bike to enter. if you could only enter what in your mind is an uncompetitive bike, you had the choice not to enter at all.

secondly; i'll happily vote for 3 classes if thats what the majority want.

out of interest if i enter s.o.t and am the top placed 620 do i get a cup?

I'm on a 583 and here are a few of the reasons why.

1, its cheap, bike on the race grid for £1850
2, prices originally banded around for the 674 BB kit were costly
3, No head work was allowed and your not going to catch me spending alot of dosh on a BB kit if I can't match the squish and get the flow rates to match
4, a tuned 674 would also need trick carbs again a added cost
5, All the 620s I saw at the time were outside my budget and my budget was set on what money I had left after selling my 748 racebike
6, I'm not bothered about winning just want to be one of the top 583s out there and try and put it over on a few 674s and 620s

As I said keep it cheap keep it simple, spend £2k on a bike and go and have some fun.
Best Cadwell lap for me was a 52.5 and if I could have fitted in more laps I felt as though I had a 51 lap in me.
I'm happy with that, I know I would have been faster on either a 674 or 620, doesn't matter at leat I felt motivated and had some fun dispite the crash and zero points.

For those of you who forgot why we're here :lol::lol::lol:

I've updated the points system...

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Where is my French class ???????? :mad:

A tea cup :D;)

Damn, sorry Tonio... I'm on it now!!! :saint:


Done it :lol::lol::lol:

[Edited on 9-5-2005 by domskidue]

This debate is boring me silly, it was a good post by Dom for a bit of fun about the 2 tables but we always seem to get into the BB debate.

We know there'll always be many differences which provide advantage for one, disadvantage for another. The BB is probably just the most obvious.

Why don't we talk about brake setup? I was easily passing Andy on the brakes into the hairpin, and that's got to have nothing to do with rider ability cos he's in a different league on that count, and nothing to do with engines either since I must've been carrying at least 5mph more but still braking later.

And what's this nonsense about cost? I wish I could post up how much I paid for my pristine 620ie... I shopped around, did some deals and paid peanuts for it. I'd happily bet a winning lottery ticket that I paid less than anyone else on the grid for my bike!

I'm off out to lose some more weight! :lol:

GREAT :bouncy:
Thx Dom

[Edité le 9-5-2005 par Tonio600]

I didn't pay for mine... go on then, hand that ticket over, I'll buy you a home gym :D

Not often two words you would associate with each other :P

How d'you know I paid for mine ;)

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Coz you just said you paid for it...


:lol::lol::lol:

[Edited on 9-5-2005 by domskidue]

Damn, foiled! There goes my millions :(

Winning Lottery ticket in the post Dom, let me know if it doesn't turn up!

Can I object, I didn't crash in race 2 I pulled out with brake failure as the 6 digits on my right hand were obviously more than the brake system could cope with.

Also can I point out you have me on a 600 and yourself on a 600 when I think you will find I was on a 583 and you were on a 674 :P

[Edited on 9-5-2005 by skidlids]

As an outsider in more ways than one a question.

Who is currently on a 583 or 600, that given a 620i would suddenly leap frog up the points?

You do realise you'll lose points for not crashing :lol:

Oh dear, this is the best day I've had in a long time.

I can't stop laughing now :D

Thanks guys ;)

Coming from an English (?) people, it sounds like:
c'est le Munster qui dit au Camembert "tu pues..." :lol:

But this is another debate I hope we won't go through... I would feel a little bit... alone :lol:

My translator says....

it is Munster which says to Camembert cheese "you been able..."

...what on earth have you been drinking Tonio ;)

If I had managed to finish any of the races on my 583cc then i would be futher up the points than I am now and if I had been on a 620 I would certainly have been lapping faster which may well have translated into a better quallifying slot and put me higher up the field. I know it and thats what matters which is why I'm not bothered abouth the actual position I finish in just as long as I do the best I can on the equipment I have to hand, I could always wheel my M620Sie out for the next round but I'm happy with my 583 apart from the braking, jsut be nice to have a few more 583s out there to dice with.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I would translate it like this:
2 cheeses are speeking together, a Munster and a Camembert (if you don't know both are very good but the Munster stinks a lot). And the Munster to say: "Ho Camembert, you do stink".

That's it, funny isn't it :lol::lol::lol:

Erm, I best not answer that, as I'm out gunned big style!

It's offical, French sense of humour is only second to the Germans!

I'm not drunk, but even I find that funny :lol:

I think it's the way you tell it, Tonio.

Pure genius :D

Well i'm working on it - but you left the track before I could catch you up :o ;)
Your mate Andy's very friendly isn't he ?

I quite like Dom's new table - it means i'm only one race win behind or therabouts as opposed to real one where i don't stand a chance ever - did someone mention motivation? :lol:
