When do buckets start up in Wellington again?

When do buckets start up in Wellington again? I'm hoping to have a new beast of burden to beat a certain A100 with up and running.

Nup but will be at Manfield on the 18th :banana: I am soooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to having a play on the bike around there :niceone:

[Skunk]

Have a look (http://www.bucketracing.co.nz/index.php?pg=events). Some of us are going to Roys Hill on the 1st Feb. I have 5 on the trailer so far.

[nudemetalz]

The first meeting at Kaitoke Kart Raceway on 1/3/08.
However, as said in many threads before, PM me if anyone who's not already, wants to race there and I'll see if the bucket qualifies.

Unsure of the first Slipway one yet, Bayden has yet to come back to me.

[all4A50s]

Excellent see you all on the 1st March. My wife would shoot me if I took up to Hastings in Feb, much the pity. Does anyone know or have a rear sprocket for a RG50?

Can't wait to get back on the bike. I am prepping it for painting and will have the new and improved engine in in about 2 weeks. Hoping to come up to Hastings. Will be interesting to see what power it will make! I will be putting it on the Dyno and will let you know what the verdict is. Old engine 17.5. New = more. All I need now is more skill. Ha ha stop go merchant here I come.

Do you have a contact number to sign on for Kaitoke Membership and get use of the track outside meets?

I'll do some sorting of that tomorrow and see what's required.

Lady Penelope has decided to be a right little bitch this weekend. She is giving very little and mostly no spark for some strange reason.
I'm going to have to give her a severe slapping to get her back into line I think :girlfight:
Seriously though, I need to get her going for Hastings.

What's this donation bullshit. You tell us the cost to get the bikes there and back and we will pay.

What is the plan for the run up?I'm going up on the Saturday and back Monday. Have some friends there I haven't seen for a while.


What's this donation bullshit. You tell us the cost to get the bikes there and back and we will pay.For you - one miiiilllliiion dollars!

9 bikes (including my two), 600kms round trip = two tanks of Diesel. $140 for two tanks. You do the math.

Better get it running eh? I've got a 'Plan Y' if everything else fails - it involves a hole saw. Can you remember the diameter of the hole required?

[Kendog]

I just noticed the back Monday comment (well, Trudes pointed it out to me)
Will have to see if I can get the Monday off, if not I may need to ride up and back.

[F5 Dave]

Well I'm just starting to get myself together whether to go having done a few ks lately. Actually I'll be passing through there on the bike in a week, but think I will go up. Would be taking my van so would have human & bike space. Haven't even got as far as whether leave early morning, nah that would be dumb, guess would go up sat arvo & find a place to stay, then drive back sun arvo.

Anyone keen?

[Str8 Jacket]

Anyone keen?

Me! Im keen, but not allowed back on the track until 1 March *sigh*. I will ask Malcolm tonight if he would like to take my FXR up and race. If he is, will you be able to fit him plus bike? Im only asking cause he's put on a bit of weight recently...... :whistle:

haha, yeah if he's keen.

$20 to race, $20 day licence (if required) 2 practice sessions and 3 races, plus more riding time permitting.

Normal plan would be sign in from 9:30, riders briefing 10:30, racing from 11. This said we certainly would be flexible for late arrivals if we knew we had numbers coming from far away.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

[VasalineWarrior]

I heard that buckets would be at Kaitoke & Slipway this year with about half the races at each venue. Has Bayden got in touch with Steve Watson yet for slipway and enquired about some bookings?

Its just cause im working on saving for a new cable tie express ship, but as it will be slow it wont be any good at Kaitoke-hence wondering about the 1st slipway round... :headbang:

[Skunk]

I haven't heard a thing about Slipway...

[nudemetalz]

I've still yet to get hold of Bayden. I sent him a couple of reply emails but no replies as of yet.

This is what he said in his email to me on 13/1/09.

"No I haven’t done the new calendar but we do need to get all these dates to match if we can….We also need to remember that you can over do things. What would be great is if you send me all dates of events and the location , no matter where they are. From here I will make the great calendar and then get the dates booked at slipway."

[Trudes]

"The Great Calendar":laugh:

[nudemetalz]

Sorry , I couldn't quite read what you said, Trudes.
Can you repeat please? :bleh:

[Trudes]

oops, spelling mistake, it was meant to say
Suck My Balls!If I had any.... :rofl:

"What would be great is if you send me all dates of events and the location , no matter where they are. From here I will make the great calendar and then get the dates booked at slipway."

Just waiting on Slipway and Kaitoke really and that will have the North Island covered. I don't think anyone in the South Island races Buckets anymore going by the response I got to all the emails I sent out. :innocent:

[nudemetalz]

As soon as I get it I shall put forward for the Buucket Racing website.

[Skunk]

Got it yet?

We haven't got anything happening down here for a couple of months yet.

[Skunk]

How many sleeps till the next Slipway round? :whistle:
All of them.

[F5 Dave]

So it looks like the F5 van is heading to Roy's hill with Koba ko pilot. Unless it looks like the weather is miserable.

Looks like the TZRF-125 might make its debut too. :banana:

What's happening with them, Skunk?

[F5 Dave]

Forecast looks ok so far. Was bleeding hot when I was up there on monday.

So where are youse guys staying sat night, any plans?

[nudemetalz]

Mrs and I are going up Sunday morning (really early departure :sleep: ) and coming back same day.
Also taking Kendog with us.

Lady Penelope and GreyGhost are going up with the Skunk-Mobile.

[F5 Dave]

Seems like a real long day, easier just to find a cheapo motel isn't it? Then we could all go out for a meal & celebrate my birthday & try & detune me for the next day. Is Fish & Bayden coming??

[nudemetalz]

We thought about coming up the day before but couldn't so same lonnnngggg day it is.
Nay mind, looking forward to trying out the bucket's new mods.

I know Fishie is but fairly sure Bayden's not.

[Skunk]

I'll be up there Saturday night. I'll flick you a txt on the night.

[F5 Dave]

Ohh secretive, must be staying in a bordello:Oops:.

Well I've had a look & Hastings Motor camp seems cheap at $70 for a family cabin with $15 extra for 3, 4th, 5th person it appears.

Who else wants to avoid the drive up in the morning? Koba & me likely to go up late sat.

TZRF will not make it. Not enough money for the few things left to do.
The ZX1R might - depends on the carb and clutch working out Friday night.

Is that a yes to Bayden now??

[F5 Dave]

Hey Glen, sorry van is full, but if can get bike up think Skunk has trailer space can sort out some room in cabin (if I get around to booking one, else we are on the street. Not sure I can afford a bordello by the hour, Geeze woman, no I don't want any 'extras' I just want to sleep. I'm an important racer:sleep:).

[Skunk]

TZRF is running thanks to Kendog spending some of his precious time here helping and Trudes lending a clutch lever and perch. Give it a nylon and tune tomorrow and off to the Hawkes Bay we go. ZX1R is a different story with it having everything it needs (fuel, spark and timing) - but nothing actually working. See how time goes tomorrow.

[wbks]

everything it needs (fuel, spark and timing) - but nothing actually working. See how time goes tomorrow.Sounds like my lump of excrement some call a bucket

[TZ350]

Sounds like my lump of excrement some call a bucket

Now don't be like that, your just learning it takes more than being able to fly around the track in winning style to be a successfull bucket racer. To realy be good at buckets you have to know something about what makes bikes go and your bucket is kindly giving you the opportunity to learn something that will be usefull to you.

Time to get on the net and learn something about the principles behind points coil condensor plug and battery and how ignition systems work and then go back with some understanding and look at each piece in turn. There is only five bits to your ignition system, how hard can it be?

.

[Skunk]

Well, The TZRF didn't go to Hastings. It's running on the gearbox oil.

The ZX1R did go to Hastings. Runs quite well for brief moments :Oops: First time I left pit lane and made it as far as the start finish line. Second time I made it further - all the way to turn one :killingme

Turns out the flywheel started free wheeling as soon as I backed off the throttle :lol: Oh, well, live and learn.

[Trudes]

The good old AX FTW again. Geeze those things are reliable!!! (putting in a plug for Pammy for when I sell her)
