    ...there has been a bit of discussion at "high level" as to whether it was dribbly oil or oily dribble. We are seriously thinking of banning all oil products at our future meetings ...

    Two strokes only, ban the filthy oil dropping four strokes

    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    That poor bucket gave its life's blood to provide the spectacle that followed in the later races, not really sure that it held up the proceedings after all the officials just seemed to take it as a break time.

    I did have to spend time with the rider of the said bucket who was contemplating committing seppuku but was thankfully talked out of by being convinced the the bike had given enough blood.
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

    The first time? I just cut and pasted what some muppet posted about the sidecars and changed a few words

    Oh heck, didn't look to see who wrote it the first time, and figured it was you. Sorry.

    That thread when it was originally posted was a shambles.

    Your avitar photo and the story behind it is epic!! I'd have that framed in my lounge if it was me riding...and yes I would be allowed (the wife wouldn't get a choice!!)

    Good Point, most of the people I saw crash didn't need oil to do so. s*&t happens in motorcycle racing, get over it or get out and do something else. The oil certainly wasn't a problem on the track, and I had the throttle on pretty hard, both before and after the oil spill. Good show the bucket racers. Spoken by a non bucket guy.
