No ...... I'm planning on Mongolia, at my own expense ..... and time when I can. England ...... nup, I need to be paid for that.

Why don't you just anonymously post on an internet forum that you've done it like you do everything else?...it'll save you a wad of cash.

A wild shot in the dark but by any chance is bestiality legal in Mongolia? Hmm.

You probably wouldn't get a visa anyway. Uk does not let people with criminal records in and my guess is you have plenty to hide.

You really have made yourself look a complete .... in this thread !

Just as you complain if others form opinions about you on the basis of the internet how do you know what barry's circumstances are? He is also far from the most malicious poster on here I would have thought.



I am not saying Arabs offer is/was not both genuine and very generous, but barry may have work or family commitments or may not find a rapid turn around economy class plane trip very alluring. Have you tried it? It is a ....... long way, and the jet lag on return (or probably on getting to australia coming from europe) is a killer. Nothing against the UK itself, which I have visited 9 or 10 times with great enjoyment on each occasion, but I am not keen to do so economy class again any time soon.

Not for the first time and it won't be the last.



For the first time viewer...Barry claims to routinely slide road bikes on the approach to corners by simply shutting the throttle and through body position alone (hairpins would be....interesting). As an ex dirt track rider, enduro rider extraordinaire, off road motocross maestro and speedway supremo has flirted with the idea of 'making a comeback' but today, as a teacher and instructor himself, would have 'nothing to learn' from either Leon or Ron at the Haslam race school - (but could teach them a thing or two). An accomplished cart racer, surfer, hiker, explorer, traveller, skier, climber and mountaineer. An engineer, meteorologist (scorns all weather forecasters), and an audio expert who claimed to be able to establish the precise firing order/intervals of the Ducati GP11 by analysing a sound recording. A crafter of fine musical instruments and an established musician in his own right, experienced motorcycle tuner and technician who has also 'owned' or ridden practically every motorcycle ever built and is so busy has no time for reading or books (never met a journalist that can ride or is capable of beating him in a race), yet remains himself the biggest armchair expert on the forum frequently scornfully claiming that Valentino Rossi has 'no idea' when it comes to racing a motorcycle. (He also used to practice his sliding technique by riding on algae on the beach). His shed is actually assumes the properties of a Tardis and contains everything from John Brittens V1100, The Spruce Goose, sections of The Bluebird body work, assorted components from Stephenson's Rocket spread throughout cookie jars and biscuit tins, Voyager 2, a discarded Saturn V rocket and the Batmobile.



Strangely - in spite of these extraordinary skills, talents and accomplishments prefers to remain behind an anonymous internet persona and when asked is utterly unable to support or substantiate a single word of his preposterous claims....yet the ........ continues.



Oh, I forgot about the bestiality bit.....it's ok, we believe you on that.

You know full well i have ! I spent a full 24 hours travelling from the uk to laguna seca in 2008. And as for barry not being a malicious poster. Pull your head out of your arse michael you gimp ! You defending berry UN-graciousness in this offer probably says more about your character than anything else.

'You would have thought'!!!??? Randomly peruse his content and come back to me. He's consistently obnoxious, condescending, never admits he's wrong, and has repeatedly exhorted other members to get up off the couch and get out there and do it. Now that the opportunity is there to demonstrate his expertise on everything he's as usual back tracking and deflecting. I can't stand liars and bullshitters - and that's the reason he gets such a hard time.



Mike, he only has to say that his circumstances prevent this as opposed to his contemptuous sanctimonious rebuff and ........ excuses. As for the gruelling nature such a long haul flight as a reason not to take a complimentary air ticket...I'm sorry, that's perhaps the absurd thing without exception you have ever posted on here - and you know I hold you and your opinions in very high regard.



Also what's with the expletives of late? It's so alien and it really doesn't become you.

I have flown to europe or the usa at least once and often twice a year for the last 25 years, commonly for medical conferences for which I am indeed fortunate to usually be provided with a business class air ticket. I am not that bloated a plutocrat, premium economy is fine and what I do if I pay myself or go on frequent flyers; it is fairly equivalent to what business class was 10 years ago.



If you have 3 or 5 weeks holiday economy class is fine too. It is basically impossible to function for several days on your return to australia after a direct economy class flight to australia from europe (over 20 hours flying time) though at my advanced age which is not much short of barry's .



I mainly got annoyed with barry in regard to his disrespect for babelfish and yamaka, in particular his decrying of their engineering credentials in comparison with his. The backing in argument has always seemed a nonsense, but I had assumed previously obviously incorrectly that humour was involved bilaterally.

Barry is the one that suggested a ridiculously short time frame - but if he is like you say subject to restrictions in his 'schedule' then yes it would be arduous. He does however allude to the fact that his endurance levels are more akin to David Blaine and as a seasoned traveller and enduro rider I'm sure he could find the mettle to cope with an Economy long haul flight.



I suppose if you are tall it exacerbates it massively. I found Air New Zealand to have a very favourable seat pitch - but last time I flew to Australia was by Emirates which I found to be quite overrated in comparison.

Sure, as long as you can sleep it is fine, which I find difficult to do in economy. I went to the 2007 rugby world cup economy because it was a package and I had more time than usual, but stayed overnight in Hong Kong on the way home and bought a separate business class ticket for the leg to sydney because I had to work on my return, so I have actually voted with my wallet on this issue.

Shame we knocked you out the quarter finals having travelled all that way

What about if you organized an isle of man meetup? Then you could go stupid on "public" roads and get in a few days racing too! THAT would be a trip worth taking!

BarryMachine said:

Whoa ..... what a thread!!



How to answer my "fanmail" ...... damn this "PR"



ok I'll go backwards.



Eltoro ...... get real ....... a trip to england is not a vacation

especially when there are many many many places I'd rather be. Going to england would stop me from going to say ...... the back of china, Canada, Mongolia, NZ, Antarctica, Parts of Russia, South America ( lots of ) ........ WhyTF would want to go to england on purpose!! and for no money!!??



Arab .... Rog.. ( see this Eltoro ....... dumb as .... the inhabitants of ole blighty it would seem ) Do you get that yet Rog. ?? Here's a test for you



read that post Arab highlighted and try and register it ask yourself " Who owned that Ducati in the picture? Its written in plain english

........ I actually bought the little Hyosung I have because I liked the play on that Duc ..... but would not like to own it.

Crikey Rog. you need to watch out for those UK laws of yours there!! By not getting the story correct and twisting the "there for all to see" facts, you don't think it may be seen as it is you who is "bullshitting" .......

( Love to see you take me to court Reg. ..... laugh a minute it would be, )



Goat ....... one word in your idiotic statement is pertinent to why I am currently on here sparcely at present. If you were half a man you would be ashamed of typing such idiotic stuff.



#22 ..... If we ever race .... you must wipe your nose first!!

"PR" over for now you are all boring me .....

Jumkie offered 500 bucks if you were to do this thing

FFS he even put me up as a cash holder to be the one to give it to you!

So how much does it cost to get the "never been heard of except on powerslide" BarryMachine over to the UK?

Just asking.

I'll back you up on the post Michael, it made sense to me. I havent been around powerslide as long, but looking back over various exchanges, like the ones with Risingsun, then the Gobert topic, Bayliss, naturally Stoner there's a common theme and I guess it comes down to long standing tribalism between two countries. Its no problem, Barry indead must feel special to be getting so much attention. I wish he would go over there at a time that suits him but even if he is all ........ so what? Chopperman just got called out for posting power curves that were not his with no issue. It doesnt worry me in the slightest whether they were his, or whether Barry had a Ducati.



On the topic, I said it before and I say it again. Watch the kids of today on their stunt or dirtbikes and they are doing things that were impossible when I grew up in the days when a nac nac (sticking you leg off the side of a dirtbike while in mid air) was a big deal. Double backflips are insane. Barry's backing in theory seems plausable, especially when he hints at things like dubious grip levels. You would know our country roads are often gravel based bitumen seals which hold damp patches. Even if Barry cant back in the way he claims and it is impossible I like the fact he goes it alone and seeks no approval from the masses. I actually got into bikes because my parents said no to getting one and being different rather than just another tintop in the crowd appealled to me.

I never once said they were my power graphs and it should have been obvious that they were not. Obvious if you read that particular debate from the start of course.

The start of that debate was me saying i was CONSIDERING mapping my car to run on 20% methanol. The graphs i posted were to illustrate the power gains using different fuel including methanol. How could i post a graph of my engine running on a fuel i said i was CONSIDERING using ?

It's not my fault if some of you can't read !

Once i read some people were assuming they were for my engine i immediately pointed out they were not and were posted just for illustration. In fact my engine makes considerably more power than one of the graphs posted and considerably less than the other.

Don't imply i'm a bullshitter because you can't read mate !

I enjoyed reading about your performance tuning options. As I said I worked in for an oil refinery and fuel blending interests me, as do WRX's (which may backin when you lift of the gas )

Then why say i got "called out"? On the contrary mate, i was the one calling out zoots claim there were no power gains to be had. Hence the graphs proving other wise. i too enjoyed your post on fuel blending. A bit over my head if i'm honest. I'm not considering anything that's not tried and tested by many many tuners for several years now.



And i have not got a WRX mate . Mines a tricked up STi

Touchy touchy. I dont believe you can drive an STi. Tell you what, how about we fly you over to Oz to prove you really are man enough to handle the mighty STi. You can cover air fair, car hire and track hire, I'll bring tea and biscuits. Deal?
