Count me in. And a proper long race length.

Exactly, no need to share with other bikes (or Karts) so hour long races can be had if wanted.

29 HP would be the reason you want it at HD, because HD will favour HP over riding ability and handling

I like the idea of a GP being run on a short full size track like Taupo short tack or Ruapuna B.

now that sounds more like an idear

it's the short gokart tracks that make people laugh about buckets

you would never get a ss150class running on gokart tracks

and yes I like the idear of having a biig BIG track where I can just piss off and have a rest between corners

A better bucket for one race a year. HP doesn't seem to be king at Kart tracks, which is after all where we do 90% + of our riding.

When buckets started on the air fields, were they racing long tracks?

I have been offered that before, but the thought of folding into a RS sickens me (It may as well be a mini bike as far as I am concerned)

Still I must have ago on one of those delta frames one day soon
