YLR is a collection of old and young, I guess it evolved because I have a pretty big shed and collected a few bikes over the last 15 years. Team members are Jackson Cotton, Buddha, Bren and me, we are happy to take on the odd stray as well. Mostly based around buckets there are a few other bikes lying around in various states of finished.

Well the YLR team had a great day at Levels, we were a little down on numbers with just one team rider turning up with just one bike, still got about 160km of racing done.
Always good to go to a Cams meeting, they low pressure affairs with plenty of rounds.
Not too many bikes in any class , so you could run in any class you wanted on any bike, nobody gets too tense, this worked out well for Scout who was having trouble with the old RD350 she had, she temporarily joined YLR for the day and rode my bucket in P89 F1, P72, and P89 p82 F2 F3.
I had decided that I needed to push a bit harder than I had been and thought I was doing ok , Cam came over and gave me some advice "why dont you go round corners faster" well duh I thought I was, looks like plenty of room to Improve so for the rest of the rounds I worked on this, sometimes you just need to be told!
As the day was getting on a few bikes had expired and they were scratching to fill the classes we switched to all ins Scout did the p82,89 and moderns, I went out for the p72 and had a great race with agent 75 , Ashley and Stu on his triumph twin thing it was like 3 Jack russel terriers annoying a sheep, was great!
Thanks to Neil Lockie and the rest of the Cams guys for putting on this meet

Lucky little bugger. All I got for my 10th birthday was a lump of coal, and I had to share it with my brother.
Hope he goes well, he's certainly in for a truckload of fun.

I must have the only 1KT still with the original engine in it

...your bucket certainly featured in some intense racing with Scout hangin off it...Cam Jones was making it very difficult for the 1ltr yammy he was glued to, and going past often, all day...another good day under the sun...cheers, you lot who turned up to play...

If so, built by Ned Kelly in Timaru. Hep did some early development riding for Ned but never owned it as far as I know. Ned's still around and tinkering so would probably help with information if needed.
