    Can I try bucket racing without buying a bike?

    I was planning on getting a bucket racer a few months ago, but ended up getting a dirt bike instead. I'm considering getting a bucket racer again, but I want to know how much I would like it (even though I'm sure I would love it) before I start spending money, so is it possible for me to turn up to a practice day and take a bike around the track without buying it or all the gear? I'm in Auckland if it makes a difference. Thanks in advance for answering.

    You could probably buy a Bucket with a crate of piss.

    Straight from the AMCC web site

    So what are you waiting for???

    If you think you might be keen enough to have a go, give us a call or email us (see the contact details below) and we can answer any questions you might have. Or come to a practice day (or meeting) and bring your bike and riding gear.

    Try out rides can be arranged. The club has a bike (a Suzuki FXR150) that may be used, by arrangement with organisers, on practice days. Racing licences are required for competition but you can try out on practice days without one. On race day, one-day licences are available at the discretion of the steward on the day subject to MNZ rules.

    Bucket racing is low key and fun. It's very competitive on the track, but co-operative in the paddock. Most people will help where they can and the people who run the meetings are bucket racers themselves.

    So, if you’ve been thinking about racing for ages but couldn't figure out how to get into it ... this is the way! Bucket racing is cheap, accessible, fun, safe and an excellent training ground for those young (and not-so-young) riders who want to improve their riding skill and race-craft.

    Contact Tim Fraser 021 963 280 or email: mit.resarf@gmail.com

    Cant be any clearer than that

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Depending on what size you are we have a set of leathers you can borrow as well.
    Otherwise book the club bike with brian. Turn up with what you have in the way of riding gear on a Saturday and we'll send you out on track on your own.
    Stock is best
