    Default Hiring a Rider/Jockey

    Why do people if a person hires a jockey. First off the fly wait guys want to race heavy guys and think they are doing something. They want something for free. Now if you put a person about the same wait on your bike then they cry about hiring a jockey. You try to make the race a close as possible but they any way. When I hire a jockey people , but when others hire a jockey it is ok. I think I am going to start fishing or something. The people in the St Louis area are crazy. I just want these guys to man up and stop cut it with the bull crap and race. You lose some and you win some. Yea I am trying to stir it up around here. THese are some sorry racers. Another thing, look around I see alot people have riders. Coby, Quick time, DME, and many more have riders. Now tell these fools stop crying and just race the bikes.

    You know you can flip the scenario...
    Make them match YOUR weight, make them hire a jockey (a big one) That's what I'm finding is less of a headache, if they don't wanna do that...then they don't wanna race

    You are right. I have tried this and that did not work. They claim I have big motors and all that jazz. But, I told them we can go to quick trip and get some gass and ride all day an then race. I seen a man go 8.50s and he claim that his bike is stock. WHere in the world can can you go an by a 8.50 bike an buy it right of show room floor I will by 2 of them.

    Take him up on that offer! haha... Then go grab a fishin pole

    The question is what is being put up against eachother the bikes or the riders...

    It depends on what the person is braggin on.... You braggin on the bike or the rider? If your braggin on your bike then it doesn't matter who's on it hire a damn anorexic midget jocky or a small child, its the bikes you're running against eachother...

    If the persons braggin on thier riding skill then let them ride and try to match the weights/lengths and its rider vs rider not bike vs bike.

    So what you talking? fast rider or fast bike?

    I bet on the bike. So who ever put on it should not matter. Slow poke. stop it. YOU crying cuz a man is faster than someone else is going fast. I am sorry if your dog wont hunt. So I have to give up alot for your inabilities not. Buy you some horse power. Or you could just keep (but we know you will not get up there) taking a whipping like a man.

    You have the fastest stock motor 14 in the world. I know you have load of NOS but man you have the fastest in the world.

    It is cheaper to go buy a bike from the dealer you got that one from. Hell next you going tell me its stock and will go in the 7s and people spending a ment to do that.

    Well that word "stock" is tricky. All bikes come with an engine, head, cam, etc..installed from the factory. It's the alterations that are done after you buy it of the head/cam thingys that causes the gray area in the use of the term "stock"
    Running that kind of time, I'm guessing... head/cam pkg. or a medium shot of gas over a factory engine with either a 165-185 lb exceptional rider or a really light guy with average skills

    Hold it right there. This guy is heavy. He has to be 230-40 pounds an run 165 to 170 mph and it is stock. But, I do give him this, He is about 67 inches long.

    I am not knocking him, just saying he has a good stock bike. and again I say let him give me a little with this little 62 inch busa with my rider and I will show him something.

    if it isnt the way it came from the factory.........IT ISNT STOCK. and adding hp through a jet size..........well, that isnt quite stock either. just an outsider looking in, no friendship or bias toward Rick or Dollar. Matt
    truth........thats all Im asking for!
