I'm leaving the buckets

**nudemetalz** · 1st October 2009, 12:25

For those who don't know already, my bucket is up for sale
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...d.php?t=108936

I've decided to pack it in.
My health is not up to it unfort so I have to think of the little family that's on it's way.

I'm still going to run (not ride) the next event at the Slipway, this being the last points meeting on the 11th (weekend after next).
Also there is a one hour bucket-only event in the designing at the moment for Kaitoke 22nd November which will also be the prize giving for the year. I'll also run that one and stick to my word.
Skunk will take over as Wellington Kart bucket representative.

I've really enjoyed this year and getting the Kaitoke Kart track underway once again. Everyone seems to appreciate racing there so it's all been worth it

Thanks for all of your support.

Gutted for ya dude, but end of the day family and heath come first and its good to see you will pass on a great wee bike rather than hiding it away under the house. Good luck with the sale!

Plus one. That's got to be a hard choice to make, but at the end of the day it looks like there was only one logical outcome.

Fuck you Beth, you'll be back !

**kiwifruit** · 1st October 2009, 13:02

I hope you return to good health post haste

**nudemetalz** · 1st October 2009, 13:06

Thanks peoples.

So sorry to hear that mate... it's obviously something you really love! But hey, the kid'll be awesome and opens up a whole new perspective in life! Trust me!

**saxet** · 1st October 2009, 15:03

Hope the health picks up and a huge thanks for the effort youvé put in. We should be o.k. in Skunks good but troublesome hands.

Tis a shame Chris. But you have come back to buckets before and there is plenty of time to come back to buckets again one day.

Thanks as well Chris, you've got access back to the best track in the area & nearly the whole country so I raise my glass to you.

Yep sad news indeed, but I'm sure once the new bubs is old enough you'll find your way back to us

Like we've said before, thank you for being the one to get off your bum and organise getting Kaitoke back for Wellington Bucketeers whilst the rest of us were still just talking about it and wishing. I know that there are a few of us who are dedicated to making sure we keep it so when you do come back it's still there for you to enjoy.
You won't be a stranger anyway, NWM hardcore.

Chris cheers for all you efforts over the last year since we started at Kaitoke, been good fun, good luck with the wee nipper and I am sure that we will still see you at the odd meet.

Hey Chris, really gutted to hear you are leaving buckets! Always good to see you there and race you. If you ever want to come give my bike a thrash in B grade you are welcome to do so. You have helped me out quite a few times. Hope to see you back on the track at some stage in the future mate. Good luck with the family!

Cheers
