Remember the whohaa over the tosser who stole the On-One number plates? Probably wouldn't have caused as much fuss except they were stolen from someone who does heaps for the sport - right?

Well I'm pretty bloody angry again right now, because I just heard from the Fat Tyre Flyers MTB club that the repair stand I donated to them for people to use at races was farkin pinched!...

... at a bloody XC race which means there's a pretty reasonable chance it was nicked by a racer.

So this was at the Mansfield XC 3 weeks after the Eildon Nationals... anyone remember seeing it walk? Or know about one of these

Let me or the fatties know if you do. The fatties do way too much for our sport to have crap like this happen to them.

That sucks man, I have been to a few of Fatties bigger rraces and they put on a good show & usually very well run events.

To the Theiving CUNT who stole it, you're a FUCKIN MORON, now others have to miss out because you're selfish! :x


Edit: Appoligies for the ] swearing... I felt it was needed.

such a shame there is a few dishonest people in the mix, I would like to think those people arn't in our sport. Just like at a recent qld state round I had my goggles taken... small, yes, but at 17 money is tight and its another 70 or so dollars i could have spent on something else.

Couldn't agree with you more, Cam. The bottom-line is no one should HAVE to re-spend their hard earned dollars because of some low-life... doesn't matter if it's 70 cents or 70 thou.

And lets face it, whoever took this item MUST be a rider, I mean, what else would you want a repair stand for? (Fuzzy and tu plang shut up NOW) and when you steal from a club full of VOLUNTEERS... volunteers who are giving up their time to run YOUR sport... then that's about as close to shitting in your own nest as it's possible to get.

I'm pretty angry about this, because the club will get a new stand and that means it's my dollars this tosser has walked off with. Not happy, Jan!

My gloves were stolen and now im gloveless. Think of my precious hands! Thieving is not cool, especially from a non profit (are they?) organisation which provides events for YOU.

PISSED OFF? Last race I went to my car (blue commodore) was parked in the car park at the bottom of the hill, after the race had finished I went to grab my car and hook up the trailer..........dirty big scratch along the rear quarter, probably done by a brake lever and probably done by the ass who was parked next to me. I thought that was pretty rude and I felt robbed. :x

haha reminds me of when a certain international pro downhiller from NSW who may or may not have been riding factory for Avanti on one of those funny red and black things with the ohlins rear shock, attempted to steal my mates pawtectors after he lost one of his own in practise (mt beauty nationals round, years ago)...

But stealing from a club... man thats just absolute crap. I hope whoever it is slices a finger off in a brake rotor while using the repair stand.

They should hire me for security at races. I'll just sit there in a tree with a gun and shoot any dodgy looking mofo's. (and possible a few riders, crappy bikes, bird, annoying parents and basically cleaning up the racing scene)........


Actually i haven't been locking my car at races, from now on looks like i'm going to have to. Things are certainly changing.

Thieving from fellow racers and or riders sucks. It's always amaizing just how low a level some scumbags will stoop too.

Nice reply from you FLOODY "I hope whoever it is slices a finger off in a brake rotor while using the repair stand."

And BLING. I could see that working a treat, you have my vote...
