My old spada chassis that I was keen on "f3ing", is now fast become a bucket racer.
In the space of 9 days, I have..
- raced my buddies ol cb125 around Kaitoke and loved every minute of it, some good dudes/ladies there, good racing, at relatively low cost, where the bad side ?
- bought a GL145 motor and have figured out how it all falls together, got some bearings on order and hopefully will have the crank assembled tomorrow after work.
- secured a complete GL for $50 ! What a steal ! Something wrong with the motor but I'm sure I can figure it out, might have a complete spare motor to fiddle with.. Neato.
- bought a carb that may work, though I may have ripped myself off there..
- found manuals that are useful and will steer me in the right direction if I get stuck.
There is a round of nth island bucket champs in march, I am hoping to have my bike operational by then. I doubt it will be competitive, but so long as it circulates and doesn't give me any grief I'll be happy.
