Mt Wellington 14 March meeting

[DELLORTO]

who's coming?? it will be the first bucket meeting for me!!! cant wait im finaly racing a bucket :wari:

hope to see you all there -max

[wbks]

Wish I was but my bike probably won't be ready... AGAIN

[Buckets4Me]

come anyway and bring it along unless it dosent start

[Rick 52]

Hope the weather will be ok

I need some good wets

With points up for grabs again it will big fun.

[Pumba]

I will be there, no doubt Saturday and Sunday. Got a few things to try as well as a mate that is keen to cheek out the track on Saturday.

And then racing Sunday:devil2:

Hmmm, looking at the weather maps I would say about a 25% chance of rain. I would rather it rains versus the heat we had last time:sunny:

[R6_kid]

Fuck yeah! Wet meeting will be interesting :sweatdrop

[wbks]

Hey guys are the standard plastic bar ends you see on some bars good enough? They aren't open bars but there is a small plastic cap if you know what I mean

Fuck yeah! Wet meeting will be interesting :sweatdrop-No! My front tire is practically a slick! I don't need any more badges on my leathers!

[DELLORTO]

looking forward to it!!! to be honset i dont think its going to rain.....saturady is just suposed to be cloudly and sunday is showers.....and it suposed to be windy that means it will blow the rain off the track and dry the track if it does rain...



remember auckland is the hardest place in new zealand to forecast for...most of the time their just guessing......

[R6_kid]

Hey guys are the standard plastic bar ends you see on some bars good enough? They aren't open bars but there is a small plastic cap if you know what I mean

I'd say you'll want to replace them with mushrooms/plastic champagne corks - that cap will grind away in no time!

[wbks]

I'll do it tomorrow then. The corks seem pretty light duty as well. Do you leave the plastic cap on the plastic cork on? Seems like it would stop grinding away so fast but it could fall off onto the track as well

[Buckets4Me]

you still coming weather it's finished or not ????

[skidMark]

I suppose i will come spectate... ill bring the yzf r0.

[DELLORTO]

We'll be there, just got to try to get the young fulla out of bed after a big night on the turps every Fri/Sat but he always shows......

Bring on the rain, I've got my wets sorted........ And a gazebo to keep comforable between puddle hopping.

yea he invited me to race on sunday too but i was unable to come,
that cb125t on johns was pretty fast.....just had too much engine braking

[Buckets4Me]

strange whenever his boys (Karl Garry etc) ride the 2 strokes they complain that they dont have any engine braking :shifty:

the way around that is not to shut the throttle off :shutup::blink::shit:
then no engine braking

^^^ what he said young padawan...

Buckets4Me... he is used to a mini moto though, i don't imagine much engine braking from one of those... so the 125 was probably like...holy mother of...

[DELLORTO]

i believe you must have the plastic armidilo'ish plastic protector as well as the foamy stuff in leathers

Sorry not good enough. See rule 8.1.3

Sorry I dont, however I wouldnt not race if you cant find it. We all know John doesnt scuritineer (apart from the 2 hour) and expects each of the competitors to accept a certian level of self responsibility.

I have raced without one, it is your chocie, but I know what I would be doing.

[Littleman]

Thanks for the lunch(owe you), logistical support and photos Wendy and Pete.

I guess one thing the photos show is Rachels great work with the number on the icecream lid.

Carl certainly looks the business.

[skidMark]

Was a good day had by all, the usual cheeky comments going around, and as usual the lad on the silver fxr 150 did what he does best...crash :lol: But he pushes really hard so heaps of respect to him, i always forget his name, buggered if i know why...ya all know who i mean lol...

Was nice to see the fxr with the gsxr srad tail had the junk taken out of its trunk and a shiny new lick of paint.

And blimin heck tim flies!!! Some vast improvements being seen and was great to see Max (DELLORTO) giving it his all and getting a hang of his new steed, really need to hurry up and get me a bucket i does!!! :weep:

Hopefully have one sorted by the next meet, see how i go financially etc etc.

If anybody has a bucket they upgraded from and left to bleed away in the corner do let me know, don't need to be stupidly competitive just yet, i can always upgrade...

Let me know what ya got eh fellas!!! not fussed if it needs work, but an engine in her without issues (apart from carb tuning) would be preferred...

Anyways throw me a PM if ya got anything.

Peace: Skid.:2thumbsup

Yeah I know, it was a lame, front side let go in the wet on slicks with no other bikes or walls involved..........

Sometimes getting old really sucks............ It's no wonder I was feeling a bit crappy last weekend:wacko:

I'll still be riding next meet. If you remember correctly I did about 100 more laps after I crashedthat weekend......:scooter:

You are supposed to hand ya race license to MNZ and then get doctors clearance prior to riding again, i fear for your health in that another light slide may shove the fractured ribs back/fully break... then you puncture organs... we all know what happens then...

Best to miss a couple of meets than die... upto you though.

Heal up.
