    I love my little Rangi.
    Just thought I'd share the love I have for my bucket.

  4. Trrs 2009

    So had a few repairs to do on Rangi after being crashed during the endurance race the month before, also had to replace the righthand side footpeg hanger from being snapped from another accident (thanks for the loaner Sully) and general maintenance stuff and changing gearing for the longer track.
    So with all that done and dusted and an uneventful and slow trip to Taupo in the van, we were set for two days of racing. First day the Bucket class (with what looked like a full field) got two ...

  5. Last points round 2009

    I had a mixed day. I wanted to go out, go hard and fall off today, and as much as my friend Mudflaps tried to help me out with that by ramming into my exhaust, sadly I didn't even know he'd hit me until my footpeg went floppy and I looked over my sholder to see Dave splattered on the track. So after the boys took pity on me and built me a new footrest out of wire and cable ties (in true bucket style) I was back out on the track.
    Alas Rangi was sulking at being used as a rudder and started ...

  6. Rangi's new and improved bum!

    by , 1st October 2009 at 08:22 (The Excellent Adventures of.. Trudes)
    So Rangi's got himself a new bottom! Looks pretty sweet I reckon, improves where I sit on him too so it's not all for looks

  7. The end of an era.

    by , 5th August 2009 at 11:02 (The Excellent Adventures of.. Trudes)
    So I said a fond farewell to Pamela on Saturday
    She's gone off to her new daddy where she is having a sex change, but she/he will will be making an appearance around our Wellington tracks soon hopefully, so it'll be nice to see her/him being thrashed by someone else.

  8. 26/04/09 Points round/Slipway.

    by , 27th April 2009 at 08:36 (The Excellent Adventures of.. Trudes)
    The weather was shithouse, but my little Rangi is a super bucket!! He went all day, never missed a beat thanks to Sketchy and Skunk's hard work and fine tuning on him.
    Rangi's a dream to ride, wheelies off the line, and then again in second hehe Got great starts in both races, lead for a time in the first race until my bucket sister Number One passed me and then someone else snuck past me a while after that and then we just circulated making sure the others didn't catch us, so finished ...
