Sure, on any race day I'd rather be out at the track, if that's not possible then out on the road. But if that's not possible then I might just want to play a bit of GT5, and if I'm going to do that then I might as well do it well.

One of the best times I've had on a bucket was in a howling southerly that was so strong the bike couldn't pull top gear into it and over-revved massively once turned down-wind.

as for the 1;30 bucket racing; it brings back a story from the deep past when we used to race at Ohakune square every year. approaching midnight when it was just the stalwards holding up the bar the night before (getting in some training) two of the sidecars guys disappeared, which was odd as they were always the last party kind of guys.

This 2 stroke racket enimated from up the street & round the corner came a sidecar piloted by an Arab Sheik & a pantomime Crocodile. They did two laps & left. This couple slide into the bar to take their position again not long after.

Fcuk it was funny.

Must spread more rep...
