Mossy. Pick of the week.

it beats me how it cost $50 k to build, wheels $4k frame $3k motor $10-15k tank $1K other fittings $25-30K, really? someones clipping the ticket bad.

You haven't factored in labour or a blower, paint, brakes 6 speed baker transmission & all kinds of shit. Some people tuck people they assume have sufficient money.

I'd be mildly surprised if he ever rode that thing at all. The ad says it has never been registered and the only mileage it has done was travelling to shows - and that was probably on a trailer.

.

I know the guy & it's most definitely been ridden, hard too & shows signs of it.
The only reason it may not have done huge Kay's is that the poor bastard that owns it has plenty of other toys to split his time amongst.

I've been to plenty of meetings where the opposite has happened as well

You sound like the Ford guys when the Holdens win at Bathurst.

Chuck your bids on this!!!

Chuck your bids on this!!!

That will be very unaffordable.

Plus considerably bigger and slower then Berts 1920's scout.

Did Indian buy the rights to the V Rod motor, or am imagining the resemblance? Good motors those ones.

He came to like one meet and no one really fast was there. Then in typical choppa style sold up. And yeah he did pass me. On my 50. So he was going OK.

Fish was there, wasn't he?

I think there are a lot of guys who are just talented on two wheels. There are more who can pedal a bucket like all fuck because the risk is so slight due to the low speeds.

Who's that punter from Aukland who races an ancient Gixxer six in F2 and shows up lots of people, and holds or help the lap record at Mt Wellington? Dave someting, surname starts with M and sounds French.

No. Your imagination is working overtime.

A new one of those goes for $20,000 so the punters who have bid so far seem to have a fairly tenuous grasp on reality.

I know more people that have fucked themselves on Buckets than any other class

Well clearly fucking themselves is the only way a bucket racer is ever going to get fucked. Their virginity is virtually assured otherwise.

Building them fulfilled my need to work on stuff. I have a lot of stuff at my disposal to build a good one, but I struggle to pay proper attention to detail when working on them. Just not that into it I guess.
