Kaitoke Buckets (upper hutt) 5th June

[F5 Dave]

This Sunday come have a look, we can even throw you out on a bike for a try during lunch or something.

All competitors. Lay your bike on the ground. If it will touch, put some nylon on it. Buy some off cuts from Graley plastics or somewhere.

[bungbung]

Dave, does the touching the ground include levers also?

Mine has sprouted skateboard wheels, but the expansion chamber might need some chopping board.

[F5 Dave]

foot levers yes, but hand levers currently ok as long as include balls on the end, but that's a reg anyway.

I've been looking for Nylon for weeks and haven't managed to find any, where are Grayleys? None of the local (Jville) bike shops have been able to help me either.

And no I still haven't cleaned it, I picked the exhaust up from being welded on saturday but have been out of town since then so it's still in the back of the car.

[F5 Dave]

Old Hutt road, over the road from Motomart & down a bit where Super-cheap is.

[StoneChucker]

Say, I might just come along and have a look. I've been telling BungBung that I would for ages, so I better get my A into G.

Good on ya SC - chuck that thing down on its side and see if it needs any bits of nylon glued onto it. :yes: You're not too fussed about that sort of thing eh?

[Ivan]

Also no Senior Motards but you are aloud 150 Streetstocks EG RG150 RGV150 no Dirt 150s they have to be road and remember If its Nyloned its not racing

[birdman]

Great to see you guys are going to look after the track. I kart raced for a couple of years and the new track looks great, new overtaking places like you wouldn't belive.
Have fun!!!

Don't you have a wedding to go to or something...? :whistle:

[Velox]

Nah - this is my weekend off the wedding circuit. I'm going to Rotorua instead.

Yeah we need to protect the track or we aint aloud back. It does look like new overtaking places are there a few ex fastish sweepers now they look like full noise sweepers :niceone:. I think we will have alot faster lap times now

[steve k]

looking forward to checking out the racing. i am also interested in getting into bucket racing. does anybody out there have machinery for sale? i have been racing a post classic in christchurch but have relocated back to welli this year. cheers

[Ivan]

A mate of myne is planing on running a CT90 Motor :yes: eventually it is gonna be an awsome motor. Anyone got any cheap buckets for sale


This is my beast below

[Eddieb]

Old Hutt road, over the road from Motomart & down a bit where Super-cheap is.

Grayley's have now moved to 7 Sydney st Petone, and aren't open saturdays.

I'm stuffed for tomorrow, I've been to Grayleys, 3 Warehouses, Rebel Sports, Bunnings and a Pack n Pedal looking for skate board wheels or anything similiar to use for crash bungs. I got som chopping board from The Warehouse but thats it, and I need something thicker and longer for most bits. I haven't got anything for the front axle bolts or 1 side of the rear.

And to top it all off I sold my car with the towbar last week and couldn't get a booking to get one fitted to the new car till next wednesday.

[StoneChucker]

Any idea how much a towbar is (to have fitted?).

And, where in Upper Hutt is tomorrow's meeting?
See ya there...
ring ding ding ding ding baaaa, ding ding :Punk:

[StoneChucker]

What time and where in Upper Hutt??? At the Kaitoke speedway thing?

[ajturbo]

i hope to see LOOOOOts of photos!!

[bear]

Found this information http://www.vicclub.co.nz/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=121, not sure what time it starts, but looks like it's at the Kaitoke Go-Kart track (not the Te Marua Speedway), the Go-Kart track is near the end of the Kaitoke hill on the right side.

[Eddieb]

Any idea how much a towbar is (to have fitted?).

Yea it's at Kaitoke, turn off to the right hand side in the middle of the roadworks and follow the low road I believe.

It's costing me $320 including the wiring to get a tow bar fitted to a '97 Forester at Wellington Tow Bars at the bottom of Vivian street. I got a couple of other quotes from places like Pit Stop and a couple of others and they were all in the high $300 dollar area.

[StoneChucker]

what time??? :niceone:

[DrHook]

Hi,

If anyone is interested. I've taken some photos while I was there this afternoon. If you let me know which bike you are I can pass you whatever photos I have of you.

Cheers!

[StoneChucker]

I didn't get to race, YET ;), but watching looked as much fun as the last track day I went to!

Hopefully I'll be at the next meeting, even if it's as soon as next saturday!
Only thing, we need to organise it a little better. What I mean is, post the address and time to be there, as well as meet somewhere. I didn't know if there were any other KB'ers there - I'd like to come and say hi in future!

Hey, how do they work out placings? Or is there not too much emphasis on winning, more the actual riding?

[svs]

i was there for a few hours too in the afternoon. I'm definately not averse to adding a bucket racer to the bike collection. any one know of a decent frame going cheap?

some good close racing. the new track is definately looking real good.

[GSVR]

Got there just after the last race around 3.30pm.

Hope BungBung and F5Dave report on how their days went.

I'm suprised I even found the event and my bike is covered in dirt from the goat track down to the Kart Track. Apparently the sign that said the track was there had been removed.

[Ivan]

I was on the 58 RS50 Aprillia my brother was on 32 RG50 and 707 KX85. The dat was not so good for me 2 offs the first was in practice I lost the front end spun around and saw F5 Dave coming straight at me that scared the hell out of me. (nice one Dave for not running me over :niceone: )

[DrHook]

Hey Ivan,

Here are some shots of you. Can't seem to find number 32 though.

[ajturbo]

umm don't want to be picky.. but i thought bucket raceing was for trail bikes or road bikes.......or have the rules changed to allow MX bikes..???

some of those bike look tooooo flash to be "just" bucket racers....

[Ivan]

They are JR Motards kids under 15 on moto X bikes buckets is still buckets

[F5 Dave]

I am sore.

[Ivan]

What damage did you do to yourself and the bike all I saw was you lying in the grass and the ambulance coming round to pick you up.

[Ivan]

Hey anyone got any RS or TZ 125 rolling chassis does not need fairings. I just dont like the RG Chassis at all. I want to insert a RG50 I know there is work involved but I the facilitys to make the brackets needed

[speedpro]

Good to hear the tradition of taking F5Dave "out" is being kept alive. :niceone:

:whistle:

[Eddieb]

I am sore.

So you got home ok then.

[F5 Dave]

Good to hear the tradition of taking F5Dave "out" is being kept alive. :niceone:

:whistle:

I didn't even get dinner & a movie. :oi-grr:

[Ivan]

Is the bike damaged Dave.

[F5 Dave]

Nothing major.

[Ivan]

Thats good well might see you at the next round if I make it over. Hopefully RG50 will be working by then. Thanks for the help you gave us when it did break down.
