This year I have done as much as I can to make this as good as possible for everyone that attends. I have earned a grand total of $100 dollars this month from my own business because I have had no time to do anything apart from organise this event, including building the AFR website, designing the adverts and getting them ready, getting T-shirts designed, trophies, answering a million emails and phones calls etc, etc, the list goes on, add to that the fact that the current bill is $70000 dollars and I have had around $250 actual cash sponsorship (but a shed load of help from some fucking top Aussie guys that want to help this event and make it what it should be) and you get an idea of where I'm at. I'm taking one hell of a risk with this event this year to try and get some sponsors attention and I may come out the other side considerably out of pocket, but I'm happy to risk it for blokes that appreciate what I am doing.


The point of this post is simple..... everyone means it, some people do, some people forget, some don't get a chance some think others will do it for them. So i know iv'e done it and i know many more will follow, to give credit where credits due. These events don't just happen by themselves, people make them happen.

Thanks SI ......cheers nigel

Si you're a dead set fucking legend mate!

[fimpBIKES]

[drewboy]

Hat off to ya Si, it is a big risk, but if last years anything to go by, it should be a huge success. hope you get some sponsors on board to help you out for next year. Thanks, you are a legend. see you all tomorrow!!!!!

[ozzy1100]

i just wish there were a few more around like like u and stu si
we wouldnt have this great opp 2 make something on par with bulldog and fighterrama
id allso like 2 thank all the members that have really got behind makeing this work
the time and money out off all ur pockets should be applarded
even just haveing a site 2 be a part of must be a massive task so thanks for all si
i dont mean 2 sound like im about 2 sux yr cock but my oldies have been mebers of a horse assoation
for over 30 yrs my mum has been ether presedent or secetry for as long as i can remember
i grew up a round the running of the assoation and 1 thing i know is they dont do it for the thanks
and for most over the yrs they have taken for granted the servises provided 2 them free and on good will
it has only been the few good poeple who have taken the time 2 say thanks that has made it worth while
thats y i think we should thank si and all those that make it posable 2 have a home and now afr
because of all the work that most of us have no idea that it takes 2 make this shit happen
feel free 2 take away my girly soap box lol

[KATO ZX7]

Simon, i love you :D

[BOHEMION]

Simon...Kato Loves you!


Over the years mate your appreciation from the boys is never dull. I hope this years AFR is a full success and everyone enjoys them selves, more so than last year. Rock the fuck outta Casino mate!

[Mishdog20]

Mate your an absolut goer, just wish work wasn't so hectic, and that i had a bike to go to Casino. Hopefully next year mate. I'm sure every single person on this site appreciates u for everything ya do for us, and another thing, have a top weekend yourself mate. Cheers

[geesexar]

I cant even make it to AFR09..but hats off to Si who does a fuck of a lot of work to keep this website up and running let alone all the work he does to organise AFR...well done mate

[WATEVR]

x2 geesexar. and apparently he finds time to earn an income also!!

[Brodie]

Due to some unfortunate happenings of late, i was unable at the last minute to attend AFR :-( :-( But I want to say thankyou to the guys for providing me with what would of been a great opportunity to expose my business to more people and have a tonne of fun by organising the spectacular AFR. Without events like this and people Like Si and Stu we would all have less interesting lives im sure!! I really hope that it was a huge success for you and the rain held off and people turned out in force. I am extremely dissapointed I could not make it this year as i was very much looking forward to it. You guys deserve all the success in the world for this event and what you contribute to the streetfighter world. Cheers

[scotty]

I luv u toooo[:I]

[RED ZX]

It was my first time there, was only able to come down and spectate for one day, but I had a ball. Loved the set up. If it was not for a few tech issues with the lights on the strip there would not have been anything I could fault about the event.

It has inspired me to build (modify) a bike to enter next year. Hope you broke even mate.

I'm still tired, I don't feel well and my wallet is empty, these are the signs of a great (six day) weekend, thanks to all the guys and girls involved for putting it together.

[davio]

so some one tell me ,, is si so quiet because hes selling his house, or because hes countin his millions,, sounds like u have more than the odd happy customer , well done sir ,take ur bow , now start planning for next year, jokes aside ,, congrats on a job well done to all the people who put in

[El_Hefty]

the former

unfortunately the weather did keep away the Brisbane weekender's i noticed. those guys that came down Sat morning and went home Sunday last year....

In saying that what makes this all the more dissapointing , apart from a few sprinkles in the mornings Sat and Sunday were great days and didnt have a pause all day for the weather...

top job by all involved, thanks

[Gix11]

The former as Michael said. I'm still waiting on a few things to see just how far down....

Thanks for all the kind comments, at least a good time was had by all so it doesn't hurt quite as much.

[pesh]

I BLAME JACKTAR :D:D

What an awesome weekend , i had an absolute ball whether it be the massive crash i had friday morning and destroying my bike , or tearing up the strip on pete's psycho T-713 ;) im hooked

to the stunt show's we put on stirring up the crowd's , wasting tyres in the pissing rain after 10 or so jim beam cans :D to andy setting fire to that pocket bike that i really wanted to ride:(

as everybody has said Si if u need a helping hand DO NOT BE SHY TO ASK FOR IT .
