Methven - Buckets ruin another race meeting by dumping oil on the track!

[Kickaha]

A Bucket dumps a huge load of oil on the track yet again causing massive delays and no doubt causing several of the crashes in the proceeding races...... Questions....

#1 Who scrutineers these things? Whilst some are very good, clean competition machines, others(most?) would be laughed out of the pits in any other country. Filthy, poorly built and maintained bikes should not be on the track especially at a national championship event.

#2 Who cares about Buckets? Watch the stand empty when they are up next, seriously. It is a perfect time to get a hotdog or take a piss which is exactly what 75% of the people seem to do. With so many exciting classes that would actually interest people, raced by modern bikes wtf are they even doing there?

#3 Where is it going? Is there any potential for any of these riders to move onwards overseas to international success?

Anyway, I'm oviously pissed at another meeting ruined by bikes that only 1% of people at best even cared were there.

ha ha ha..........wow.... how creative...

[Yow Ling]

Phoenixes bucket was fitted witha sidecar engine , there cant be any other explanation !

Actually the bucket guys did the classic guys a service , after the alledged incident at least they had a line to follow.

Who would have thought 1 litre would go so far.

Cams club did a great job organising the meet 99% of the spectators came to see the buckets and wernt disapointed, good racing a bit of carnage and great SI weather

A lot of the F4 bike riders



#3 Where is it going? Is there any potential for any of these riders to move onwards overseas to international success?

who cares keep racing



Anyway, I'm oviously pissed at another meeting ruined by bikes that only 100% of people at best even cared were there.

well so am I ( I missed seeing it all happen)

[Bikernereid]

As a spectator I enjoyed the day out. Yes some people get a bit pissy if they have to wait to watch races but this happens at all levels of racing, not just buckets! Recently I remember reading a thread where everyone was slating the side cars for ruin a race day. If you don't have the patience to wait then maybe you shouldn't be going racing, it is par for the course and has been for the last 36 years that I know of..both here and in the UK. I think that the bucket racers have the same right to race as anyone else, everyone has to start somewhere!!

i see a buckets vs sidecars grudge match on the cards. Most finishers wins (loser cleans up). hehehe.

there are far to many Buckets for the sidecars guys to have a chance

anyway I like sidecars. I have no problem with them at all or Kickaha for that matter. He has a point and so do I

it's not just the F4 bike (infact it rearly has anything to do with them)

[woodyracer]

buckets rock, as bucketracer said, we have many top riders
if it wasnt for buckets i wouldnt be in big bikes as i am now....

[Ivan]

Kick Classic Thread hahahhaa

[gav]

I want to know how the hell you managed to post this thread without pissing yourself? Oh wait, maybe you did ....

[Bikemad]

have just purchased a bucket and after riding it have to say i dont think i would want to run it on a full size track................looking forward to a go at Mt wgtn kart track tho

[Buddha#81]

It was a shit meeting untill we got the excitment of a oil slick to contend with......... Well done DC (1st) Glen(2nd) and Bren(3rd) Brens was a top effort getting third when he never finished a race.

How about you be grateful you were there! Some may had planned to be there and would loved to have basked in the delay!

[Skunk]

It was a shit meeting...Well, you should be here then.

[Kickaha]

Well, you should be here then.

[Buckets4Me]

thats not what I posted
please stop changing what people say thank you

...there has been a bit of discussion at "high level" as to whether it was dribbly oil or oily dribble. We are seriously thinking of banning all oil products at our future meetings ...

Two strokes only, ban the filthy oil dropping four strokes

Two strokes only, ban the filthy oil dropping four strokes Twas a suicidal bloody too smokey that caused the oil problem :devil2: throwing itself under a mighty FXR and releasing it's life blood. Two strokes are dead FXR's will rule the world :lol:

[TZ350]

FXR's rule the world :lol:

..........."maybe for now"........but plans are afoot.........in dark corners there are 2-Strokes plotting and scheming.........:shifty:

[JMemonic]

That poor bucket gave its life's blood to provide the spectacle that followed in the later races, not really sure that it held up the proceedings after all the officials just seemed to take it as a break time.

I did have to spend time with the rider of the said bucket who was contemplating committing seppuku but was thankfully talked out of by being convinced the the bike had given enough blood.

Fucken Gold :clap:

I'm wondering now if you were serious the first time you wrote it though?

The first time? I just cut and pasted what some muppet posted about the sidecars and changed a few words

Oh heck, didn't look to see who wrote it the first time, and figured it was you. Sorry.

That thread when it was originally posted was a shambles.

Your avitar photo and the story behind it is epic!! I'd have that framed in my lounge if it was me riding...and yes I would be allowed (the wife wouldn't get a choice!!)

[The Speedy Sparky]

Good Point, most of the people I saw crash didn't need oil to do so. s*&t happens in motorcycle racing, get over it or get out and do something else. The oil certainly wasn't a problem on the track, and I had the throttle on pretty hard, both before and after the oil spill. Good show the bucket racers. Spoken by a non bucket guy.
