I take it all back. Someone who insults me isnt someone who is welcome to spend time around me.

Is there an ignore facility on here as i really cant be arsed anymore.?.

Good day.

Eh, what just happened!??? say what now?!?!? How is that finger pointing? I am so confused!!

It was until you said whats in the above quote, saying that i personally take up all the space and dont care!. Why do that?.

Pointing your anger that obviously stems from what others have done to you, at me is the quickest way to pee me off.

I think thats the problem here. Its nowt to do with me what others have done in the past to you personally. And the fact that i dont find the paddock as you did is neither my fault.

Live and let live..lighten up a tad, accept others, worry less about what others do and just get on with what you want to do..

It's the fault of the internet.
Like the Ginge :P said I could see where this thread might go but it's mainly just how words may come across on the net. I just do tend to find such funny.

SVRacer = Very nice, lovely and helpful lady. Ok it's been a while but still....

Anyhoos I challenge both of you. You ride whatever you want and i'll be on my CX. Well can't get more underdog than that , can you?

I think you misread what I was saying there ... lets go back a step ….

When discussing paddock cliques etc I started off (before me making too many assumptions) by asking the simple question "Do you save or have ever been saved paddock space?" ... to which your reply proudly was (roughly) "Yes, and I save it for about 10 others too". Basically to show example I was enquiring to see if you were one of the people that hog prime space for you and your mates ... (I am sorry, but right or wrong, ‘hog’ is exactly what it is). As that is the sort of action that I was talking about. i.e. making it hard to get a good spot if you are not mates of one of these 'mates'. I then went on to say it only takes a handful of people to do that before all the prime real-estate is gone ... to make matters worse those with the bigger outfits have all the associated paraphernalia that could be placed elsewhere taking up the next best spots!!

You then carry on to say (roughly) “I don’t even care where I go” … to be honest that makes the fact that you take up prime real-estate for you and others even more frustrating as I do care, but as I was not in the know, I never got the prime spots! … I then knida called you on it and said (roughly) “If it really doesn’t matter to you, then why don’t you step down and let some other people in?” … i.e. I have made you aware there are people out there that want it but can’t have it, if you don’t want it, then step down … then my cheeky assumption that I bet you never will as it is too comfy up there in the top seats That is just an assumption though … so prove me wrong!

I do however agree there is a certain amount of tarring with the same brush going on here … but your actions are those akin to exactly what I am opposing (be it blissfully unaware rather than any malice) … So again back to the start, when you tell me that the paddock is a great and friendly place and I then say, “well actually that isn’t the case … if you are not in a clique then it can be a much nastier place!” I needed to site examples and finally we end up here … I have had a lot of negative experiences and I thought I’d share them so you could see the other side of the paddock world for the little people, your world is rosy, so a world you are unaware of! Unfortunately you are partly guilty of what I am opposing … I am not saying you go round cutting people gide ropes, but you need to appreciate that by your own confession you are part of the 'hogging' problem like it or not!!

Anyhoo all was going well …. and you were talking me round a bit that even if you were doing it, it was because you were blissfully unaware rather than just selfish ... we were finally having an adult conversation about it … then you go and throw all your toys out!!

I take it you read my bit too?!!? See it was nothing to get that upset about

Group hugs ... does that include me!?!? ... am I your best friend again now then?!?!

Anyhooo, I think all that needs to be said about cliques, paddock etiquette, paddock a-holes and finally - talking to me like I don't have a clue not going down well (i.e. my mouth hurts from all this egg sucking ) has been said ... so lets get back down to business ... SO WHAT IS THE SPEC OF YOUR BIKE!?!?

Competitive element aside, I am genuinely interested.

Spec is here: http://www.thunderbikeuk.com/team_info.php?team_id=5;

Pretty much includes everything barring a few mods that are being done at present, inc raised rev limit on the ECU..injectors balanced and some head work. high 79bhp on the dynapro dyno and 90 on a dynojet...or thereabouts.

Officially now skint!

According to a german friend its a Gixxer thou that runs on 2 cylinders

"The SV has a GSXR600K5 front end with Ohlins 20mm kit. Magnesium Dymags and Talon rear disc. Lightened and balanced Crank with a Wiseco 700cc Piston kit. Ported head and raised compression. Sigma Slipper clutch and M4 full system plus some other secret bits!. Full titanium bolt kit and race loom. Lightweight subframe. GSXR1000K5 bodykit. GPR damper. Gilles rearsets and LSL offset clip ons."

Two words ...

F-Me

Yes that's barely an SV at all anymore is it?!!?!?

It deffo looks the part, have you tried to total up what you have spent on it!?!?

I dare not add it all up!. Bought the bike brand new on the 0% finance, initially built it as a minitwin and then changed it when the Thunderbikes class came out.

A basic tap onto a calculator and working on retail prices not including any labour its well over £10,000....F*cking hell!

All i can say is it better win me a few races this season!

Will be up for sale end of this year...this will be the only bike i have owned that i will cry about when it goes....

Chunks bike is on that site too..Tim Churchill. Thats a similar spec to mine.

You might know Paul Barlow and Martin Cooper who raced 600's???. They race in Thunderbikes too..great guys!
