Got some points, won my first race and a guy in tight leathers

[Number One]

Early Sunday....


For the perfect weekend: TAKE 1 pair of trackpants, a comfy couch to sit on less than 20 metres from your snuggly bed, margeritas to down, the company of good folk, good music playin and of course….bucket racing ADD you have no preschooler to attend to for almost 48 hours! :devil2: :msn-wink::niceone::mobile: OMG

Sunday started about 4 hours after I went to bed on what I thought was Saturday. Drizzly and misty but not too cold out. I showered, popped on the polyprops (try saying that fast 12 times) packed up all the food in the house (which we didn't touch) and rolled into the Ewwwdesy to get my erse down to the Slipway.

Got to the track through all the fog and hadn't really worried about the concept of rain and slipperiness at that point - I was just on a mission to get there.

Ended up entered in both the ‘Learners’ and ‘Open buckets’. We are very lucky that we have two bikes between us so Sully and I can just swap all day (thanks babe for being generous when we had the 'teething problems' too - I know I got way more riding in than you xx)

The arrangement:
I rode the Lead Sled in the learner races and the teeny little silver RG50 when Sully rides in Open Buckets. Pretty fine plan me thinks :msn-wink:

The pics:

* There was this guy called AJ, who needed to visit Deano in his quasi tent cos he had really tight leathers on and given the effort it took to get him dressed up the notion of taking his leathers off again to put on the backprotector he decided to tape it ONTO himself....oh AJ....

* The lovely waving man, seated on our nifty 50 eating his sandwiches, what’s that about?!...Lead sled in background.

[Number One]

part 2:

How'd it go?
Felt really goofy to begin with on the Lead Sled which at first I felt really disappointed in myself for but, then I kicked my own erse and just kept going.

But wait….Then there was a parting of the mists in my 4 hour slept in brain as I realised I was trying to change gear in reverse pattern. So used to the SV just on automatic :pinch:

Chanting now: heave up to go down gears, push down to go up gears....say it again 58 times then you should be cured.

Once I figured that out I came rightish. Going to the left was interesting, last time I got there after they'd changed direction already so I was more relaxed about the notion of going clockwise verses anticlockwise, but upon reflection I think I was cornering better and feeling more comfortable going to the left which I used to feel the opposite about.

Then - I went out with the big boys, trying to maintain 'polite' lines and keeping clear as much as possible for the fast guys while trying to get myself along on the wee 50...farrrk!!!!

PICS:

Babe on bucket leads cute boy in hot green leathers.

Sully comes up on Kendogs behind :drool::clap::2thumbsup awww I nordie

moi and moi smiling at the cameraman:hug:

Knee down -final installment

The hip cramps I have today from that RG50!!

Well atleast I mastered crash starting that one…phew. Sully one probably could too! - ya literally just push it along in second while giving it a little throttle and your away! I like that...much much easier than the Lead Sled - crikey I thought I was gonna die and farrk it pissed me off that it kept beating me. Then - Sully decided to fix the timing and things got much better :niceone:


The little RG50 earned me my first knee down moments ever! It happened twice (anticlockwise only) and no I was not 'trying' - it came as a completely unexpected and pleasant surprise - funny that once the knee sliders went on and I was actually 'trying' my leg or my body or my brain wouldn't comply!

I must say that's a damn cool feeling! I used to think whatever :rolleyes: but now that I've done it I see what they mean about how it feels cool. DON'T get me wrong, I'm not trying to do that everywhere, but crikey if that's what you are into then you should go bucket racing a small capacity engine it seems a blood good cheap place to start to learn and get your jollies practising that in what is an essentially safe and controlled environment.

If you are still with me - well fuckin done!!!

The video – sorry it is only me…we only had the little camera so this was all hubby focussed on but just close your eyes and imagine it’s you Str8!

It was so much having fun I am well and truly hooked. :devil2:

To the critics out there - I am not a speed racer nor do I profess to be so don't tell me how much fasterer YOU are...cos unless you are out there showing me - I don't give a shit! :nono:

THIS RANT SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED AT - the rude guy who approached me at the first round to tell me that he and his wife laughed that I never got out of first gear in my last vid and that I was the 'so called competition' that she could so easily waste)...get the point dude…I was practising…it was my first go AND I wasn’t trying to look fast so that you could convince your missus to put her money where her mouth is (when you also weren’t) and get out there and give it a go. Don't remember seeing you or your FAST missus there :yawn::done:

[Number One]
