Hopefully getting my nylon up to a Kaitoke standard tonight for this Sunday. I would imagine the nylon will be getting used once or twice at least because it is GOING TO BE RAINING!! And it is going to be a BLOODY SOUTHERLY!!! For shits sake where is the sun?

Sorry to disappoint, but my presence will not be there.

ajturbo

still have to get glen to turn down some gear/brake leaver plastic..

and mount the rear... ( got the tire on.. but i have to bead it EVENLY)

nudemetalz

15th July 2009, 12:42

"Mount the rear", huh..?
Is THAT how much it's costing... :laugh:

F5 Dave

15th July 2009, 12:42

Those skinny rims are a curse. Have to leave tyre in sun or a warm place & use soapy water in a squirt bottle. Take the valve out & fire in 60pounds with a decent compressor (BP often have a flat tyre function on the forecourt pump).

If using an inner tube loosen the valve & push it in a bit so the reinforced part of the tyre doesn't push the bead away.

ajturbo

15th July 2009, 13:38

thanks dave!!!!

Maybe I should race then. I always do better in shite conditions...

Actually, while we're on this... I was thinking that maybe we need a new class at buckets. I was thinking about an FXR championship but only women and children under 14 yrs of age could enter. Whaddya rection Nudey's? :wait:

Anyway, it would be a "Loncin Cup" if I was going to organise anything,..with a restrictor on Fishy's bike !!!

Funny you should say that as there is already a cup for this. True !!

hmurphy

15th July 2009, 19:47

Really!? Aw shit I better make sure I stay in the lead then! I'm thinking I might go all out for the audience this weekend then and pull out a highside. Much more spectacular than slamming into tyres eh?

In all seriousness though, I gotta back off the crashing! Costs too much $$ and brain cells. Thanks to Andrew Adlam my bike should have some really reliable nylons on it by tonight. Cheers mate, you're a winner

Improve trench around septic tank to old toilet block
Clean walls in clubrooms
Trim grass from track edges
Replace faulty power sockets in kitchen
Repair extractor unit in kitchen
General tidy up prior to Upper Hutt Grand Prix

I've been in touch with Phil Davey and I can look at the electrical issues on 26th.
Havn't been racing due to health issues but should be able to handle the sparky work.

F5 Dave

16th July 2009, 17:23

You the man Tex. Sort of thing that makes us look like good clubbies.

I'd offer my services, but could only really point at things, so I'm not much help atm.

hmurphy

16th July 2009, 18:13

I'll help out. How much is the club paying us?

No I wasn't serious. I will help out though

The weather report for Sunday seems to be improving each day.... don't tell me there might be a hint of traction for once! If Monday's weather comes on Sunday it will be a dry day!

Also, I might need a little bit of help getting to the meeting. My trailer has got a couple bolts that have busted on the wheel. I will try and get it fixed today. I live in Silverstream. Cheers

No number plate, no WOF, no turn signals, no brake light, tyres that are "Not for road use", and I seemed to have missplaced my drivers licence into a policemans hands for 4 months. So I want be riding it. And believe me, I would actually push it there if I had to. In the rain. I swear I would.

Well after a not very successful few hours of trying to get the new engine purring I am half ready to race. Thanks to Glen I have finally got the rear converted and am running a nice sticky tire. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow.
Pity the engine isn't playing the game.

See you all tomorrow.

18th July 2009, 18:55

What time are things happening guys?

Have to get Tim to a birthday party at 12.00 but the kids would love to come and watch you all race so if there's something on in the morning it would be great to be there. :headbang:

I was meant to go trial riding this weekend, so didn't bother getting my bike ready.

However i ended up in hospital yesterday due to my stuipd eye, and missed my ride up north.

I'll come watch/help tommorow unless of course some one wants to give me a bike too ride ;). But not too fussed.

Cheers for letting me borrow your trailer dude! Hopefully someone gives you a ride on their bike! You aren't too far away from getting your bucket done. Wouldn't mind racing you again!

Yeh we will see. I managed to get it a bit more lean and got some more plugs it seems to rev cleaner now. Running the big jet.

What a fantastic turn out today folks!! Wicked to see some fantastic, close and competitive racing in the DRY for once!!:banana:

Just a little reminder about the Wellington Bucket Racer Social Group here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/group.php?groupid=106).
I realised that many points that were raised at a meeting that was had a while ago by some of us bucket people had not been added to the group so many of the newer bucketeers may not be aware of what is expected, especially at Kaitoke track. Take a look and feel free to comment or add any points that you think would be helpful. Cheers! :)

nudemetalz

19th July 2009, 19:45

Definitely a great day alright !!

Thanks to Adrian and Fishy for lending me their bikes to go out and have fun on after Lady P suffered a terminal fuel leak.
I think I scared a few people on Fishy's 50 !!!

F5 Dave

19th July 2009, 20:35

I was quite impressed, not everyone goes well on a 50, good ride.

ajturbo

19th July 2009, 20:58

WAS a great day.. blew a few cobwebs out of the RG and found some more... lol

and thanks Dave for all your advice... i have written it down what you suggested to do....and will work on these before the next round....

hmurphy

19th July 2009, 23:15

Was nice to not crash for once! Except when Richard took me out in the last race hahaha. I stepped the speed back a few notches and found it was quite rewarding to not have to plan how I was going to fix the bucket for the next meeting.

Actually, after racing two 2-strokes yesterday, I'm beginning to think I've got the wrong engine in Lady P......

Yes, thank you for the lesson. My bike was not nyloned properly and could not have gone out yesterday along with the fact that I was not going to get there until after 10.30...

BTW - are there any bike only day's happening at Kaitoke anytime soon?

Also, it would be awesome if we could have a bike only day that was not on the same weekend as a VMCC round. Could we pretend that its all about me, just for today?

nudemetalz

20th July 2009, 12:49

You're welcome FOR THE LESSON...ya cheeky bugger :rolleyes:
And I can still get the butt trophy for you if you want, Hels......

Kaitoke bike-only day?
Funny you should say that. Skunk and I were discussing that yesterday. Figured that once the points rounds were finished (11/10), it will be a lot warmer and we will have a lot more freedom to pick and choose weekends up to xmas to have there (but not too close to Taupo, BOB etc).
A lot warmer means greater attendance.

What say you, Girlies?

Trudes

20th July 2009, 12:52

Sounds good. I've just raised that issue (yes, another one... sick of me yet??) in the social group, so maybe we could thrash out a date and stuff there? In a seperate thread.

thanks again for that advice Dave... you were on the money... still got old plug in though, this WILL be changed for the next race day.....

Hi all had a good with some good racing IN THE DRY. That was a nice change. Only one off. One of Glens moments looked very impresive from where I was. Thanks Fi5hy for the help with the clutch leaver and the battle. Thanks also to Chris and the organisers.
PS feel free to spell check
PPS Jesus is comming again watch out AJ

21st July 2009, 18:28

Yeh sorry about that. You haven't had much luck on that front. Getting taken out minding your own business that is.

I had a very very scary moment on the back straight in the last all in race. As you all know the sun was low and you could not see shit until you hit the shadow at the end of the straight, as soon as soon as i came into the shadow there was someone on a bike pretty much stopped on the track. If I was one foot to the left both me and how ever that was might not be feeling well at all.

hmurphy

21st July 2009, 21:08

Yeh sorry about that. You haven't had much luck on that front. Getting taken out minding your own business that is.

Nah mate no worries! I enjoyed passing some of the people back! It's all part of it. Plus I was stoked that on the way to hitting the ground I held the handlebars and pulled the clutch in. Meant I could get up and get going quick. I think I might be a more experienced crasher than a racer at this point!
