Don't forget, buckets are meant to be CHEAP, and dirty

There's other forms of motorcycle racing out there. Minimotos are a good one for example, and you can transport the little fuckers in your car.

Coolest racing available, low cost, big laughs and you can crash all day and still feel fine.

Hey buster............... try this with ya minimoto, it would suck the hole bike in one end and spit it out the other

intake set up is just suck through system using a GN250 carb, the turbo has it's own oil supply seperate from the motor using a GN125 oil pump geared to run off the end of the crank, unfortunately we havent the room to gear it as it should so we're looking at options to reduce pressure/flow as at the moment it supplies to much

Can you race forced induction in Buckets? Holy shit! I retract my earlier statement of homos riding them.

Edit: Actually, Dangerous still rides one......

And it's a Honda

You're allowed to turbo/supercharge four strokes under 100cc

You need to schedule a trip down her when we got a meeting on and we'll find you a bike

You're on big fellah, just the inspiration I need.

Give me a time and place, amd I'm there. Make sure the tattooed one has had a heap of practice, and paint a target on his back......

Been thinking about that. Have you tried Teeing off the main line with a pressure relief valve in the tee line? You could then run a line back off the relief valve back to the catch tank. That way you'd get the pressure you want and the flow would regulate itself as well.

Diesel Pig did try something similar, but it wasn't very successful

I'll PM you the dates and might even let you ride the mighty GNR140R, other wise I'll get you a Honda
