HI TOCIX,
GREAT STUFF GUYS ITS GOOD TO SEE ANOTHER POCKET BIKE CLUB KICK OFF. BUT I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE GANG FROM THE GOLD COAST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CLUB ONCE YOU GET ENOUGH NUMBERS TO RACE, UNLESS THEY HAVE A MAJOR CHANGE OF HEART, BECAUSE THEIR TACTICS AND RACE RULES AREN'T REAL POPULAR WITH PEOPLE IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN AND YOU SEEM TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM TO SOME DEGREE.

IT'S JUST THAT MOST PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THINGS DONE RIGHT AND FAIRLY. SO JUST DO YOUR BEST TO IT THIS WAY GUY'S .

Pocket Racer have done more for this sport than all of the 2 bit importers put together.
If you don't like riding in their meets go find a carpark.
I live in Sydney and the guys at Pocket Racer have gone out of their way a lot for me even though I dont own one of their bikes.
Take your negatives elswhere please ren and for FS turn off your CAPS LOCK.

I give credit where its due.
Thanks Martin and the Pocket Racer team.

Now lets get back to building this thing from the grass roots.

HI MARTIN,
LOOK I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT DEEP DOWN YOU'RE A REAL NICE GUY THAT JUST GETS A ''LITTLE'' CARRIED AWAY EVERY NOW AND THEN ( NOBODY APPRECIATES UNSOLICITED ABUSIVE PHONE CALLS ). BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS SEEMS TO BE YOUR OWN ANTICS AND YOUR '' WE WORK AS A TEAM AND WE DO IT MY WAY !!!! '' ATTITUDE, HAS ONLY DAMAGED THE REPUTATION OF YOUR BUSINESS AND HAS UNINTENTIONALLY HINDERED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS GROWING SPORT.

NOW BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY JUST LISTEN.
I WILL SAY IN YOUR FAVOUR THAT YOU MOST DEFINITELY HAVE DONE MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE TO GET THE SPORT OF RACING CHINESE POCKET BIKES OFF THE GROUND IN AUSTRALIA AND ARE TO BE CONGRATULATED FOR THAT MUCH.

BUT MARTIN YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ''SPORT''(YOU WILL FIND THE MEANING OF ''SPORT'' IN ANY DICTIONARY) IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE BENIFIT OF THE GUY'S WHO RACE (AT ANY LEVEL).

YOUR CASH REGISTER NEEDS TO TAKE A BACK SEAT SO THAT PEOPLE STARTING OUT WITH BOG STOCK BIKES ARE AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO RACE AGAINST OTHER STOCK BIKES IN A SEPERATE CLASS TO THE MODIFIEDS, THIS GIVES NEW RACERS AND PEOPLE ON A BUDGET A GREAT FEEL FOR THE SPORT RATHER THAN BEING LEFT WITH A SOUR TASTE IN THEIR MOUTH.

THIS IS JUST COMMON SENSE AND IS COMMON PRACTICE AROUND THE WORLD BY MINIMOTO CLUBS THAT HAVE BEEN DOING THIS A HELL OF A LOT LONGER THAN YOU. BUT I GUESS THESE CLUBS DON'T COMPROMISE THEMSELVES BY NEEDING TO RATTLE THE TILL.

SURELY YOU CAN JUST LISTEN TO THE MAJORITY AND START A STANDARD RACE CLASS AS THERE IS DEFINITELY NO SHORTAGE OF STANDARD BIKES OUT THERE WITH EAGER RIDERS.

WHILE I'M AT IT MARTIN, WHEN YOU HEAR OF OTHER POCKET BIKE RACE CLUBS THAT HAVE THE HIDE NOT TO BE AFFILIATED WITH YOU, DON'T TAKE IT UPON YOURSELF TO SNOOP AND CHECK UP ON THEM TO SEE IF THEY HAVE THE APPROPRIATE INSURANCE ETC.....IN THE HOPE OF GETTING THEM SHUT DOWN IT'S NOT YOUR RESPONSABILITY.

HOW ABOUT MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS, LOSE THE ATTITUDE AND JUST CONCERNTRATE ON MAKING YOUR RACE CLUBS FAIRER AND BETTER PLACES TO RACE.

So that's what the CAPS LOCK key is for :-) Sorry mate my fault I feel like such a fool. Fancy typing everything in capitals, it must make it even harder to read for some people I guess .

[ALDOS]

Hey guys, thats what I like to hear.......A little banter.....Maybe we can create a new category for racing where it's full contact. That would make for some great racing now wouldn't it? Sounds like we have a few keen riders already.

Good reading, keep it up!!!! (Just no mother jokes ya hear)

P.S. Hey POCKETRACER, when you going to start supplying performance parts for these water cooled puppies?? I wouldn't mind taking a grinder to my current chinese clutch, and AMEN to that. Can you get the Zocchi Clutch upgrade kits? and the 17mm carby??

Cheers,
ALDOS
