RA Dirty Rotten Cheaters

[JonGu]

I don't know the whole story and don't wanna spread any information that might not be accurate so I'll just say this... Melissa and Alan are great people and in no way need to cheat to go fast and get results. I've been hanging around with them for years and honest can't believe that they actually intended to cheat. Regardless of anyones intentions though, if the bike was illegal then it's only fair to get the situation straightened out, get pulled from results and make sure they race in the proper class next time. Like George said though, I'd hate to see people get too judgmental to quickly without at least hearing their side

how you do put a 750 in a 600?  easy, they come that way factory! LOL

Maybe somebody said it was a Twin.

I want to believe the best of people and I am hoping this is an innocent mistake; however, I have a really hard time understanding how this could be innocent.  The people involved have been around bikes and the track for a number of years (I know that I have seen them racing with CCS for all 3 years that I have lived in this region) so it is hard to see how they don't understand that 750's are not legal for GTU class races...

Perhaps one of the parties involved will post some sort of an explanation and apology.
George

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for the apology.  They obviously thought they would get away with it.  What a great way to represent their organisation.  I have never been a NESBA brasher,  and I would not even associate them with NESBA under normal circumstances, but they are control riders for the organisation.  The individuals decided to cheat, not NESBA.  They obviously are too selfish to even stop and think that their actions might just reflect poorly on NESBA. 

With that being said, I have always bashed cheaters, and that is exactly what they are, DIRTY ROTTEN CHEATERS!!!!  There are allot of good teams that spend allot of money to compeat and hopefully finish well.   This sort of action just plain pisses me off.  How could you possibly feel any satisfaction about your performance on the track when you did not actually earn your finishing position?  You two are just scum in my eyes.  When they were doing your interview and they asked you what advice you would give to other teams to finish well and you guys cutely said "A bright paint job and some stars"  you forgot to mention "and 750cc engine". 

It really is sad because both of you are actually talented riders, you probably could have finshed quite well on your own merits.  Now none of that matters, because now you are just miserable cheaters.

As Jon, I don't know the whole story.
I do know Melissa and Alan.
They are good, quality people and hell fast riders.
Please, don't judge before getting all the facts.

I hope this issue is cleared up soon.

I did my research before I typed.  They may very well be nice people but make no mistake,  they are cheaters.  The best they can do is make up reasons to justify thier actions.

Bitter much?

Some people make mistakes.  Until you hear their side to assume things is a bit silly.

As Jon and Hernan stated, I as well do not know the whole story but can echo their sentiment that Melissa and Alan are good people.  Alan is one of the most humble and grounded people you will ever meet in your life, he is not one to tout his accomplishments, whether past or present, and he certainly doesn't strike me as a person that would cheat to win.  


Guy,  I can tell that you are angry from the words you have posted...but I do take issue with you saying that you have done your research. If you have talked to CCS officials or other involved parties but NOT to Alan and Melissa then you have not done all your research. I know that in your mind you have decided that they are cheaters but please let others form their own opinions and conclusions. If you are comfortable with judging others without having spoken to them, then so be it, but I can point to numerous people that have been convicted (without a shadow of a doubt mind you) in a court of law and then subsequently been released because they were falsely imprisoned for a crime they didn't commit, at least they had the opportunity to defend themselves in court before being convicted and judged.

I plan on following these wise words.....

"A true judge is one who seeks the truth.  If you must judge, be sure and get all the facts.  A Japanese proverb says to "search seven times before you judge."

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.  For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7:1-2)

I met them a few times at nesba events,  like most people there they were nice enough.
actually Alan once explained to me that in order to go fast you need to twist the throttle!
jokes aside I'm sure this situation has a simple explanation.

[Helmsman]

I would love to here the explanation/excuse.

[xb9racer]

please tell me how the hell they didn't know the engine was 750cc's. Are they nice, but stupid?

[cbirk]

This isn't a question about how "nice" of people they are. Enough with the character statements. This is about the facts....period.
