your profile looks good however, your reputation as having bikes that are outside the rules has damaged any hopes of you being respected as a good rider.
Sorry but thats what people in the racing world think.

Hi jue glad you liked his profile as for the fact you think all brads bikes are bent is this what you think of everyone who has a talent perhaps rossi’s bike are all illegal or stoners. This is tipical of this country if you do well peaople think you are a cheat. If there is anyone who thinks that then i will gladly hand over any of his bikes to anyone to have them checked, on the times his bikes have been stripped down and checked they have always been well inside the rules as far as i am conserered if you cann’t win by fair means you are only cheating yourself.

Jue, whoever you are, you are sadly misinformed. Brads bikes are clean as a whistle. The British championship winning Metrakit 70 was supplied by FAB-Racing the organiser of the finest junior miniGP racing series there is. They are hardly likely to supply a hooky bike in a series that is designed to find riders not tuners.
I witnessed Brad’s 50 when it was stripped in 2007 and it was absolutely fine.
I am sorry you seem to have experienced your offspring being beaten fair and square, but there will always be someone faster than you. Just take it on the chin and get faster and beat them in another race on another day.
Brad Ray is just an excellent racer! Full stop.
