[fi5hy]

Hi Guys just to let you wellington boys and girls know that I'm taking the mighty bus to Taumaruni for the bucket motard meet on the 11 12 oct. For the ones that haven't seen the old girl she sleeps six and two in the boot. she can also hold up to eight buckets it has a toilet, shower, cooking, fridge and bar on board. At this stage Me and Bayden are confrimed. I am looking for four or five extra people to share the costs i.e diesel, road user, its on a first in first serve basis please reply to the forum or get hold of me on the 31.
If we get six people we are looking at about $80.00 each there and back inc accommodation.

[fi5hy]

[Ivan]

the bus is now full!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of People or Booze?

[F5 Dave]

Well the race was done. Anyone who didn't go is a homo.

Good weekend if somewhat disorganised. And Bayden ended up winning the points for he weekend. from me. By one point. Bar-stard!

We would have cleaned up any Aucklanders for sure, they had to invent some reason not to come down when Welly crew was there, - washing their hair or some such.

[Fatjim]

Fishy, you are a legend. That has got to be THEE best way to get to meets.

[F5 Dave]

Probably the worst way to get to a meet. But certainly the coolest once you're there.

[Skunk]

Well the race was done. Anyone who didn't go is a homo.
I'm a homo then. A homo with an engine still in pieces. Any race reports...?

[F5 Dave]

Sorry to hear that, I don't decide these things. It's just the way it is. . . you dirty homo:nono:

The traction was great & the racing got fairly frantic at times. It is hard to pass there although Fishe would manage to force a hole where there was none evident. Poor old Bayden tried to run up the inside of the Longchin on the sweeper & ended up in the mud, albeit still upright.


. . . Poor old Bayden . . ..

WTF am I on about?!? Poor old Bayden deserved everything he got, it was never going to work & probably Karma for the harassing of that poor lass he was trying to get to Wet T shirt.

[Trudes]

I always thought Bayden was a dodgy bugger!:lol:

It was a great weekend of raceing,drinking and bull shitting,along with the odd crash.

Heres a couple of photos.

[fi5hy]

here's what happens when you get to close to the track at speed

[fi5hy]

Here's a couple of shots of me beating #2 NZ Mitch Rowe on the dirty old DRZ 400.

[Trudes]

Oh Fishy....that is :sick::puke: man!!!!

That second photo of the bus could be of it anywhere in NZ, reminds me of Herbertville, Himatangi & most trail rides only thing missing is all the empty bottles, cans & where is the fire?

Nice bruise Fishy, at least you didnt end up in plaster this time.

[fi5hy]

Here's a helmet cam of one of the good battles over the weekend

[Trudes]

That was awesome Fishy, just proves to me that I don't have enough balls or skills to ride that close to others!!

[nudemetalz]

Dang Fishy !!! That is vicious !!!!!!!! :clap:

[F5 Dave]

Does show hard it can be to pass on that track if you get a bad start, that 2nd vid Bung posted see how long it takes my liddle 50 to get through the pack after a bad start next to the more powerful bikes, takes all that vid to get through & catch up to Fish etc & by then Bayden was gorn. Still is a fun track to ride,

[TZ350]

At least one of the team ESE members with a GP125 will be at Taumarunui Labor weekend. It will be my first time there. Thanks for posting the vids, man thats a nasty bruise. Its great to see the track so many talk about. Looking forward to meeting whoever else manages to get there.

[saxet]

Thanks for the vids Bungbung, shame I wasn't ridin properly.Note Fishy crashed on the WARM UP LAP.Sometimes pchycological mind games backfire!

[Str8 Jacket]

Note Fishy crashed on the WARM UP LAP.

Bleh, that's a typical Wellington Bucket Racer for ya...... :pinch:
