Battle Of the Buckets 09 DATE?

[dangerous]

1st up I need to hear from the north Is crew who DO intend on attending the 09 BOB.
What dates do and or dont suit?
We have a very small selective dates to choose from, I would like to think we can combine the date in the same week end as another meet to get a full w/es racing in.

BEARs dates which are not confirmed as yet and wont be till June, are as follows, all are Sundays so the Saturday before would be the date we are looking at:
12/07
09/08
13/09
11/10

Check what other events are on, time off, what ever that determins you making it.

BMRC

[Trudes]

Kendog and I are seriously considering coming again (however, could you arrange for it to be a little warmer and less snowy this time please? :D)
Any date would suit us at this point except for the last one, we have a points race-day that day. Thanks for considering us and what would suit us, that's very considerate, must be that "Southern Hospitality"!:sunny:
Just a little something to consider, the date in July falls in the middle of School Holidays.

[nudemetalz]

I am considering too.

[Skunk]

Fuck that. After years of making an effort to get down there and support you lot on your ridiculous track how many of you came and supported us at Easter?
10?
5?
2?
1?
No. None. Not one. Fuck you all!



I'm keen to come down again.
11/10 is out. Points round up here.
All the others are OK with me but I think the later the date the warmer the weather.

Hey Stinky Turn that frown upside down and show us some love:love: .......or tell us what you really think!:2guns:

[Kendog]

Keen as.

Looking at the looooooong range weather forecast I think the September date is looking good.

:D i'm looking forward to seein the greyghost!!!

[nudemetalz]

:D i'm looking forward to seein the greyghost!!!

and you'll see Lady Penelope !!!

[Bren_chch]

all my dreams will come at once!!!

As long as i dont see them in front of me thats fine. :sweatdrop


and you'll see Lady Penelope !!!

[F5 Dave]

Cool I've been thinking about this.

Later the better, last year the weather sucked. Also it gives me time to get myself healed & hopefully able to race again. Friday I find out whether I will get a pin/plate or whatever.

If I'm all fixed I'll be there (. . .if I get a leave pass, there is the new addition due any day). Have to find time to get the 100 together.


Also what track? Please the B, so much better than just a trioval jobbie.

[Bren_chch]

the trioval BLOWS hard! :Pokey:

[k14]

I reckon aug or sept. Gives us plenty of warning and the weather will hopefully be better. Oct would be ok but I am guessing a track booking will be more difficult the closer it is to summer.

[F5 Dave]

aug can still be cold

September
September
September

[Sully60]

Wake me up before September ends!
Surely the Norwester will be the dominant weather pattern about then being close to the equinox an' all. Nice, warm and suitable for slippery bikes!

[dangerous]

ok hey so at the TRRS a couple of Dorklanders said they would be keen, any one know who they were? would love to see them down here.

[gav]

WTF was wrong with the weather in 08? F'kn softcocks ....

[k14]

WTF was wrong with the weather in 08? F'kn softcocks ....
Yeah exactly, I'd quite happily line up again even if I knew in advance it would be the same as last year. That race was so much fun!!

[Kickaha]

WTF was wrong with the weather in 08? F'kn softcocks ....

Yeah bunch of pussies, it was perfect racing weather

[Sully60]

it was perfect racing weather

Bollocks, you could still see the other end of the track!

[Str8 Jacket]

Yeah exactly, I'd quite happily line up again even if I knew in advance it would be the same as last year. That race was so much fun!!

There was a race? Wow, and I had so much fun during the warm up lap!... :rolleyes:

[TZ350]

You people frighten me!!! :cold:

Oct is good.
.

[Skunk]

You people frighten me!!! :cold:

Oct is good.
.
No, it's NOT! My wife would kill me if I miss her birthday again. Only done it ten or fifteen times before...

September.

And if you can see more than 50 metres the weather is 'Fine'.

[TZ350]

Ok September.

[SHELRACING]

We'd love to be there, but unfortunately finances won't allow it. :cry:

[Yow Ling]

I cant make september, august would be good

[Skunk]

I love polls and pleasing everyone. :corn: :laugh:

[Sideways Sam]

You guys are freakin' crazy.........

Sep or Oct is good with us, got see what sort of temp you can get the slicks up to in the snow..........

Do we need ice tyres with spikes?

We're definitely keen to come, I seem to remember Pumba mentioning he'd be keen also

[F5 Dave]

Yeah it is dodgy on cold tarmac, I lost the front on the sunday & I wasn't sticking it in that hard & did a crash & tumble in the snow. Doubt it would have happened in warmer conditions.

Riding to the conditions mr!

[F5 Dave]

you know, - I'd never ridden with a snow lined track before. :cold:

Besides I was riding out of my skin going for 3rd trying to pass one of those CBR150s on my liddle 50. There was no reserve.

I'd be careful, I'm sure a guy matching your description made a good job of falling on his arse on the warmup lap!

[Kickaha]

I think we should be going through the last 20 years weather records and picking the day with the highest rainfall

[Bren_chch]
