Bucket - FXR/GL/CB/MB/GP/AX

[Squiggles]

In search of a bucket or something that i can make into a bucket...
Prefer two smokers but can live with 4's. Anybody got something? :rockon:

[Skunk]

Cross the AX off your list. NOW!

Add GN125.

[Ixion]

But why? I'm thinking a fun thing in this bucket business would be to take something apparently totally unsuitable and see what one could do with it. Just by way of giggles lke.

I'm thinking something like this (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Classic-vintage/auction-196079649.htm)
And you might be surprised what could be made of that. The engine, anyway

You seriously selling Pammy? I know of a couple of people that may be interested in her....

You are replacing her with another bucket, eh?!

Yep, no hurry, but shortly (hopefully) she will only be taking up garage space, once I have Rangi up and going. If you know of anyone who may be interested Hels then feel free to pass on my number to them :) Chur.

As yours already is a bucket it's good - I just won't recommend that anyone buys an AX to make into a bucket anymore... As we both have discovered, there are easier options.

Ive just bought an FXR that I can commute and bucket race on. The reason for the FXR is varied for me but here goes:

1. It is the closet in size and shape that I can get compared to the RG. This helps me learn skills at Buckes that I can tranfer to Street Stock racing easily.
2. It is road worthy and CHEAP to commute on
3. Can nylon and number it up, ride to buckets, race and ride home again.
4. I can get CHEAP insurance
5. The rims/tyres are the same size as my RG...
6. From what Ive seen they make awesome buckets
The main reason I bought it:
There was a road worthy bike for a decent price on KB

Keep your eye out. Ya never know what may come up for sale ;)

Yer, i made an offer on that bike as i know it well (Its spent a few months in my gargre). Limited to writeoff fxr's really, but i've always liked the styling of the GL145 buckets people come out with, beautiful.

I already proposed a Bantam. They used to do quite well in racing back in the day. I had a road going one that had a top speed of 60mph, unheard of for a bantam. But perhaps a little underwhelming nowadays. Not to mention the three speed gearbox (effectively two speed, cos first had a habit of shedding teeth if used too enthusiastically).

What I really want is an LS-2 Yamaha.

[Squiggles]

bump to the top :)

[Ixion]

Where's my LS-2 ?

[Squiggles]

A big bump! Looking for one for the mrs... North half of the Country preferred.

No, someone else was looking at being her new daddy, but he's found something closer to home I believe.

[Kendog]

Pamela might be a bit hot for Auckland.
