No idea what Bucket racers call themselves collectively :facepalm:

Anyway, I've been in contact with a nice fella by the name of John who has said I can thrash (er pootle) the clubs FXR tomorrow to give it a go. He is busy winging his way back from some exotic over seas trip and didn't give me a specific time to come along.

So, more or less what time do you guys start practice on a Saturday?

Looking forward to meeting up tomorrow.

We'll be there around 9am, no engines before 9.30. Not sure what time the club hack is turning up??? So anytime after 9 is good.

You know where the track is? John won't be there Saturday, but we'll look after you.

Wonder how long briefing will take on Sunday as we'll all be full of questions as to how the trip went.

If you find someone looking lost in the pits and looking like a muppet in a day glo vest come and say hello and get signed on. Should be there about 9ish.

I'l make sure I'm there nice and early so you can have your carb back too.

I've got the carb that failed miserably at Taupo this year on Michelles bike on mine at the moment so I can test it so no real hurry. Curious to see if it still sucks and if so if changing from the Emgo pod filter on it to the DNA pod filter you have makes any sort of difference.

Just because you refuse to get out of bed if there is a 3% chance of rain in the next three weeks. Maybe we should get some Honda stickers for your FXR.

It won't mean I have to stop slagging Honda's though will it? I'm worried about this.

Back to the original post, okay, so we've got the address sorted, time sorted, bike sorted (I take it you've got gear to wear), there will be a van with a blue bike (#13) and a purple bike (#44), and everyone should be coming up to us to get signed on.

Make ssure you bring food & drink as there's nothing at the track - toilets & water's the limit. Hopefully we'll need sunblock and not rainsuits :)

Hope it not raining in the morning.... my bike might get wet.... I might add its the only thing that gets wet around my house after buying a new piston today....:woohoo:

Looks like I might be changing wheels in the morning looking at the forecast.
You missed a great day today though with exceptionaly fine weather fag boy.

so no rain....

Henk

And I'd better not let you beat me after the amount of scorn I have been leveling at you.
Unfortunately it looks like I won't be leaving the wets in the van.

I just hope it's not one of those wet-dry-wet-dry... days or we may have to change the numbers on Craigs bike again and run wet bike dry bike. Nice having a mate in a different grade with a damn near idenital bike so it's an option though.

YOu better hope he doesn't kicked up into A grade then lol, but at least you've got a wife permanently stuck in B grade, except we hate each other's bikes hehehe

I guess the answer was no. You missed (another) great day's racing (or for some of us, riding in circles). Lots of crashes, some rain, lots of sunshine, lots of shit talk.

Awesome day. Dry, wet, damp, dry. Slicks, Wets, Slicks.
Managed to crash a borrowed 50, Crash my own bike in an attempt to avoid running over B grade Tim, a humanitarian gesture negated in the Karma stakes in the next race when I shouldered Gigglebutton off onto the grass causing him to crash Ned Kellys bike in an attempt to stick it up the inside by the pit entrance corner. In the process Hell must have frozen over because it looks like I got 3rd in the second points race due to some poor tyre choices and a fair bit of crashing by others.
Have to stop lending bikes to AC3_Snow though, every time we do he bloody beats me.
