If you're talking buckets, you probably got pretty much up to your normal position by the first hairpin :yes:
That things a rocketship off the line. :Punk:

Sweet photo's, got any more?

[Ghost_Bullet]

Was a brilliant day. The bucket went, but not as good as I would have liked.
The RD was the greater ball of fun today.
Mrs Bullet was even extremely receptive to the idea of heading to Levels next weekend... but we shall see, gotta sort this Bucket a little more.:scooter:

[Buddha#81]

Sweet photo's, got any more?

yup 100's, sorry big guy only one blurry one of you!

[gav]

FFS, want me to slow down next time? :done:

That things a rocketship off the line. :Punk: Both actually... but yeah the bucket race, what a blur duno what was eating my arse but It did launch rather well funny thing is tho if ya start up the front grid like i usually do the 2nd row passes me standing, made me relise how fast them light waight runts are.

had a good ol' day on the newly freshened up gs450. real quick off the line and nice to ride. certainly faster than the sloppy bag of shite it used to be and pulled some nice passes (i know, self praise is no praise at all but it put a smile on my face). Just to put it into perspective bren on a 100cc bike was keeping up with me and passed me at one point... took quite a lot of wind out of my sails that did!! Ghost bullet you are smokin on the rd

unfortunately my cb125t crapped itself. i found some piston and ring looking bits in the tail pipe and the spark plug has a ding in it although it looks fine through the spark plug hole. the piston is all shiney so i dont know what that means .... does it mean it wasnt firing so was just getting washed by the fuel or does it mean it was running super lean and hot. dunno.

FXR here i come:Punk:

[timg]

Yup, and awesome day. I really enjoyed my new toy - thanks Buddha :) Both bikes ran like a dream, and I seem to be finding my way around better. Had a bit of a dice in the last two races with some guy on a FXR still with a number plate & rego! Great fun. Roll on Levels next Saturday.:wari:

Ya not looking down at a shiny piston top, but the reflection from the oil in the crank... :doh:

DONT DO IT... proddies need ya, theres a entire bike selling for 200 at the mo and or engine rebuilds are a piece a piss on the CB.

Hes heard the calling...... The dark side is a strong force luke.

They are such a good bike thats why you still own your one and why you would never own a FXR aye D?:2guns:

[Muzzab]

Enjoyed the day as well. My clutch repairs have been successfull no more slip. Having trouble getting off the line though, the front wheel is liking to leave the ground. Finally got my arse off the seat going round the hairpin, just before it hit the tarmac. :doh: Got on the gas too soon, and it let loose. There is video evidence. I think I had too much air in the tyres as well.

Cheers

I'm sure I'm getting faster and riding better but my placings don't seem to be improving!!

I had a blast yesterday though. It's sooo much fun!

How is Bren going on that thing anyway? Good that someone is using it.

Hes using it as a Pre82 bike and making some big capacity bikes look pretty avaerage!

[dangerous]

They are such a good bike thats why you still own your one and why you would never own a FXR aye D?:2guns: as you already know the answer but other readers may not, ill explain.
Give me my old CB or MT rep anyday, bloody awesome fun but a high maintance scedual is required, now with the intro of one wage and one sprog I did not have any cash for this maintance and or the time... sooooo the FXR would be the right option for me "WRONG" as you know I managed one of the 1st FXR blow ups so my theory was fucked. Once again I was rebuilding a engine, my theory of a cheaper option in racing being go out and push a button and go racing cos I could afford it failed. All seems good now tho heres hoping I can still aford to keep racing.


I think I had too much air in the tyres as well.

What were you running in them?

Yep my dad caught it pretty well on camera. And also almost caught you with his front wheel... I think he said he got your email? just so you can show all your mates heheh. Very dramatic looking

[timg]

but my placings don't seem to be improving!! Ya need to eat more pies! :doh: All the quick FXR guys weigh more than you. Bredan, Bud, DangerMouse.... More weight = faster :dodge::laugh: But yeah, you're going good. :niceone:

[Kickaha]

He won a race at the last meeting in the wet


Ya need to eat more pies!

mmmmmmmmmm Pies, I like the way you think

How was the first outing on the GSX400?

I was having a problem turning in tight enough in the first couple of races on the TZR150 after having a bit of a think about it I decided it was to much knee down bullshit, pulled it up a bit in the last race and started going a bit quicker, it is the first Bucket I have ridden that I would rate higher than the mighty GN for ride-ability

[Buddha#81]

hahaha you're turning Gay!

It felt pretty dramatic, and plenty of aches and pains today. Your dad showed
me the vid off his camera. Yes indeed, need proof to show that a 1980 125 can let loose if you get on the gas too soon:shit:

[Muzzab]

What were you running in them?[/QUOTE]

I pumped them up at the gas station on the way to the track with the intention of checking it later. When I remembered, between race 2 and 3 (oops) the back was near 40 PSI and the front 35, I dropped them back to about 28 and it felt much better in race 3.

[Kickaha]

hahaha you're turning Gay!

So you're admitting that FXR riders really are homos then

[helenoftroy]

Ya need to eat more pies! :doh: All the quick FXR guys weigh more than you. Bredan, Bud, DangerMouse.... More weight = faster :dodge::laugh: But yeah, you're going good. :niceone:

Absolutely!!Im on lil'Ms(Miriams)case,trying to feed her up tooo!:done:

Had another awesome day!...do love it so much,do you hear me "woo hooing" as we head out?:doh:

Checked track conditions closely(phew!pleased i have got the 1st crash over with)And Ill find the wee delight responsible....:girlfight:

Thankyou so much guys!! for sorting the bike for me,I couldnt race without your help & support you are an awesome bunch!:hug:

Roll on next weekend!!!

How was the first outing on the GSX400?
The new toy was great fun. I just pootled along near the back feeling my way (being an old fart an all) the bike has never gone slower I'm sure! :laugh: I really enjoyed the extra track time even if I did miss the last all in - I didn't realise they had scrapped the CAMS/Pre82 and combined the last two until too late :no: No doubt they announced that while the bucket all in was going...
I think the grin on my mug when I came in from practice said it all. It's a bit peaky, not much happens under 7k where it comes alive, and I need to concentrate on keeping the revs up, much like my FXR which is strong above 8k. Infact apart from the extra weight and grunt it's not so much different to the FXR, just gotta remember not to wind on the power too early out of the hairpin - gave myself a wee fright there :eek: The two should compliment each other well given the similarity - no real mind shift between bikes.
Both bikes are known quantities and the only reason either of them were not further up the feild on Sunday is down to the pilot, so the pilot has gotta get his act together and the extra track time/experience/confidence/relaxing etc will help. Any advice greatly appreciated. Cheers.

It was cool to see you enjoying it. Nothing worse than selling a bike and it not be used or enjoyed. Look at it this way, with double the track time your riding will improve twice as fast. To be honist that bike should go better in the mid range, with a decent tune you may find it becomes easier to ride. It was a engine that lived at redline only because thats the only power it produced.
