Canterbury Wednesday Night Ride

[Transalper]

I've taken to watermarking the entire length of my video uploads now days... just in case.

[Peeteey]

Yeah he come along way from looking like an external version of C-3PO's internal wiring - use to be wires, camera's, batteries for Africa

Hit them up for royalties Peeteey, blatant theft ! They look to be doing alright with some of the big boys advertising with them.

Or is any footage "Open Slander" that is uploaded to Youtube etc, comes under the GPL Open Source Licence ?


Ex Neighbour (Just an empty section now) shot footage of his Mrs running out of their bedroom in her PJ's during an earthquake and another of his chicken in the backyard hi-tailing it during another Shakedown - uploaded it to youtube and it ended up on the movie When A City Sleeps without permission, might put in for royalties too since its my "Stable" over the fence

Ha ha!
now what's wrong with C3PO's wiring? The only reason I haven't made more of those vids recently is that bike is off the road with, funnily enough, electrical issues!
And Africa NEEDS batteries, think of the children!

I was just kidding about them using my footage. Just some of the shots are very similar so I must have been standing right on top of their cameraman in several places without knowing it.
I've already been chatting to someone else who also had similar shots on YouTube, turns out he's in my vid for a fair bit as he was standing right next to me on the day!

Anyhoo, an now saving for a bucket bike of some kind ...

Yeah good way to stop a leech



I could see you on a KX500/CR500 motard Peeteey

Went down to the inaugural and there were motard guys pulling wheelies 3/4 of the straight, dude on a CR 500 going real well.

Bucket racing looks good - low key way of entering into the racing buzz

The CR 500 is one of my dream bikes but I could never race against those motard guys, they're way too crazy for me!
Buckets on the other hand, that's something am looking into

Let me know how you go on the bucket - I've been thinking about it for a while, just haven't done anything about it.................

Go for it Peeteey !

Whats the best bike for bucket racing ? FXR seems popular.

Anyone got a link to the rules and regulations to set one up please ?


Cheers

I imagine the FXR is popular 'cause it seems quite fast and is the maximum CC allowed too.

There's one on TM for $1200 at the mo, that's $1199 more than I've got at the mo

Check this page out:

http://www.bucketracing.co.nz/rules.php?pg=rules

It has the rules there but it links to a PDF that seems to have moved. You can find it here:

Liked the guy on the vid saying it was the premium class at the mo cause of the amount of enteries

Cheers for the links

..just come out and talk..you need a little more than just a bike...minimum requirements of attire, leathers, gloves, back-brace, regulation helmet and it does also mean buying day licences, around $20-25 bucks and entry to a race meeting which is $60.00 at our meetings,(CAMS) www.cams-racing.org.nz
...it isn't that much of an obstacle really, after your first, 'good fun', race, the rules of life change...a bit like a young fellas first fuck...you spend the rest of your life chasing that unobtainable feeling...after that you either get a two stroke bent or some other affliction...get your arse out to a club day at Ruapuna...there are bikes about that you could get a ride on...

Taking the dirt bikes (that's the non reged/wofed dedicated off road bikes this time) up the Waimak North bank Saturday morning. Parking the transport at/near the MX Track carpark area then going up stream toward the gorge hopefully at least as far as the little terrace track loops.
Will be a slow ride with dirt novices.
Just thought I'd put it out there in case other dirt bike owners here were interested. Probably unloading about 10:15am.

I know WNR is over and only runs during daylight saving but the weather looks pretty good for tomorrow and I have been suggesting to others that we can meet for a ride around the hills.

I figure the best way to achieve this would just be to post here and work it like a normal WNR (weather permitting) meet at BK moorehouse but head off a bit earlier at about 5:30 to try beat the dark

From there the plan is to head up columbo st to dyres pass, follow the below route round to the weatsheaf (if we need to have a stop, maybe a quick beer) and then continue on this route: http://quikmaps.com/show/201199

after I complete the loop I often go around again, depending on traffic and road conditions

I'm not expecting many to turn up but more than a couple we may have to split into groups to help negotiate the traffic

Also given my level of experience I would like it if anyone with a few years riding under their belt could show up and act as a TEC if anyone other than me goes on this ride

[Asher]

I would be keen, but not at 6:30.
Too dark or sun in your eyes


5:30 sounds way better!
