How many Buckets at Taupo on the 1st

[Schrgd]

Just wondering how many buckets were planning on doing the trip to taupo,
Just seeing if there will be good racing at the back of ss150 or will it be a
lonely couple of races??

[sidwyz]

I'll be there as will my Dad,
On the racing forum Nigel has put up a list of entries, there isn't a whole lot but still enough for some close racing I hope (if I can keep up with fxr's at the top of 5th.
Roll on Sunday!!

You're on!!

That must be $100 for photo finish.

I was wondering when someone would pick that up.
Should be a good weekend all going well. hope the weather is good and i don't finish last.
Last place in slowest grade
Still, at least i'm doing it now instead of wishing i was like the last 5 years.

Just slip Kierans camchain one tooth on the sproket when he isn't looking.
Have fun down there, would love to be going but I have to go and count zinc saturday morning and getting my wheels fitted with bearings that should work Sat afternoon.
Hoping like hell that the mods I made to the exhaust and the wiring I took away don't make it run like a bag of crap at the two hour. On thebright side I checked the valve clearances and they were spot on. I think the bike was previously owned by a couple of monkeys that couldn't ride 50 feet without falling off but thankfully weren't confident enough to thrash the thing.

Cut yourself in half to make up the numbers

Thats where I think I lucked in with mine, the 1st one I rode was f^&@#d, could't pull a greased stick out of a monkey's ass. I thought if this is what everyone is racing i'm buying a gokart, but rode another one, which I now race, din't even need to get it out of the driveway and i knew it was miles better.
And now we know what to do, as in Kieran's bike aka test bench, mine won't be to far away from that. Just gotta fit rearsets now and ready for Taupo.

Which reminds me......Charge the video camera, something I haven't managed to do thus far!!

Just leave the half that says "Ohshitohshitohshit" in the pits, wish I could.

[Henk]

If I get everything done in the next couple of weeks will only have rearsets and a GN carb to go before I can just park it and drag it out of the shed once a month.

Thats Kierans specialty. Although I'm getting better, as a great man once told me........"If you keep riding through the 'moments', they stop being moments and just become your riding style"

I'm still not quite used to the rear sliding around so much, not so much of a problem on dirt, but hard to get my head around on the tarmac. Feels farking cool though.

Bring on me new slicks
