Chris' Bucket photo thread - Bandwidth warning

**chrisc** · 12th October 2012, 21:24

Between far to many other interests/passions, I'm a photographer and was part time freelancing for some years before becoming a desk jockey. I've been running my motoring blog based around my Datsun 1200 and drifting for 4 years now but slowly it's been moving into motorcycles over the last two years as I become more and more obsessed. I prefer to race but I take my camera everywhere I go. I'll post some photos where I can from the events I attend.

Note all these images are all hosted on my own server, not on kiwibiker.

Feel free to use the images for personal use but I retain all copyrights. I ask nothing in return except a link back to my blog www.beeoneoneoh.com if you do post them around. Thanks!

In anticipation of this months racing on Sunday - I'm frothing to ride again

- here are some photos from the April 2012 Mt Wellington meet. One or two of these my dad Simon took (old motorsport photog from back in the day).

Brian Steffensen and David Diprose

I believe that is Dave Manual (RS50 frame with 2t engine), Max Olson (zxr frame? FXR engine) followed by Dean Miller on the Derbi?

And thats not the club bike thats the road bucket so thank Henk and Dutchee (Michelle), they will prolly be stoked it was enough motivation for you to get your own.

OCTOBER 14 2012

I had a shocker of a bucket weekend and only managed 4 warm up laps before retiring. A damn disappointing waste of time and money

.

I did/Simon did however get some photos of everyone else having some fun

What an awesome practice day at Mt Wellington today! I got the FXR engine back together yesterday and ran it around the track with no issues or crashes, success

Simon and I got some cool photos and I'll feed a few through starting with Rick and Henk's close up

... and some le mans style practice starts

not to mention a little of this

Sorry didn't catch your name

And myself

thats a common place to overtake people

brake late for the hairpin run it across the grass (so you miss out the s ) and tip it into the lefthander

**Rick 52** · 13th November 2012, 20:10

Great pics cheers guys

Super good day today! I thought I'd start with a few from the mixed group race which Mel and Brian won I believe. It ended up being quite a few so I put together a quick HTML page.

Click here for photos of the mixed group race

I also took a tonne of video of the A-grade races which when I have access to a computer that can process the files (big bastard 7D files are too much for my old shitter) I'll put them up too

One for face value
