Taupo December '08

Bucket racers doing what bucket racers do best - sitting round talking, and a few of bikes in action.

  1. Dummy grid prior to the GP, so much room you could hold a decent bucket race meeting right here.

  2. Dave on Peter's bike. It would have been better if he hadn't tossed it away on the 2nd lap of the 2nd practice. I might have blamed the rear tyre as...

  3. Zebra leathers

  4. Getting ready for the GP start, too late for a nervous piss now.

  5. The start of the GP. To save messing round they could have just put everyone on the front row.

  6. These bikes obviously vibrated a bit which made them blurry . .

  7. Trying hard to get the last little bit of speed

  8. The winner on one of those damn FXR things. I do love stretchy denim . . . . . .

  9. The winner

  10. Rob on his self-tuned and very fast GP125(150??). GP 3rd place getter. Not too bad for an old fart.

  11. Best pit facilities I've ever used

  12. Another view

  13. Inside the garage, #14 was eventual 3rd place in the GP with Rob riding.

  14. Tim had a good chance of winning the GP based on recent performances on his FXR , , , , except for one little problem.

  15. Noodles, food of champions, with Pete Steadman's rocket ship bucket in the background.

  16. Interesting bodywork, still to be finished???

  17. Dave Trustrum's RS/RG50. Way too fast for a 50 and with a clutch that NASA would be interested in. Completely fire proof, eh Dave? 1st place in the...

  18. #1 son so he gets his picture in the album

  19. Plenty of room even for lots of buckets

  20. Getting ready for the GP
