If anyone gets really desperate for (a slow) B grade rider then give me a yell. I am not at all convinced that I want to or will be fit enough from injury to ride by then but maybe..... maybe

damn, this really is sounding more and more fun.
Trudes, no need to worry about Rangi bucking Rich off, he's good enough at crashing anyway. You may be slow, but you're steady and that's worth more sometimes than some of these muppets going hell for leather, crash, hell for leather, crash.

We so need to do this in October as well. Mr Bennett- any chance of scheduling this in for the NI round? (or Fishie, or whoever else is organising things). Hmm, next Easter two day event would be good as well, but do A and B/C grade riders from different towns (if there's enough of us foreigners), so that us shy folk get to socialise as well.

Henk - you sure you don't want to drive 20 hours to do this?

Rangi looks like a calm well mannered little native when I ride him, but he goes a bit mongrel mob when pushed.
And you guys so should, what's another 20 hours for a days arseing about with us lot? You guys are almost honorary Welly bucketeers by now I reckon!!

I'm keen bro. Even got a leave pass should it be required (although I'm sure they'll be there as cheerleading support)

Unsure what kind of "bucket speak" this might be Mr T. But I assure you, 189hp, Ray Clee powered, Robert Taylor suspended, Dunlop N-Tech shod GSXR's aren't a patch on the hilarity I've witnessed occuring at Kaitoke during a bucket meeting.

I'm scared. :shiver:

Honestly would love to come down, but have an Auckland points round that weekend and the travel budget is going to take a serious pounding in October so it's a non starter for us. Dead keen to see something like this in October though, A and B riders teamed up with a 30 minute sesion for each with rider changes bought on by a flag anyone? With all the A's on track at the same time to cut down on speed differential carnage.

Rangi was one of the most fun buckets I have ever ridden, and that was before it got brakes!! Good on ya Jimmy, you're gonna get hooked though. So cheap and still so much fun. I'm sure a few people here could help with the travel budget Henk, it's always good having you and Michelle down here. Tell them to postpone the points round up there for you hahaha

"Burglar"? Well I fucken never.........

I'm slow, old and unpracticed mate. Pretty sure I'll be B grade speed having seen the pace of the "guns" out there.

**F5 Dave** · 11th August 2011, 10:48

I'm pretty sure it'll come back to you, ooh about flag drop time.

Mmmmmm, you may have a point.

Any B graders looking to partner up with a washed up, never-was from the Superbike class?

erm rider? Haven't go that far yet, perhaps I see if the 100 holds together on the 21st.

**Henk** · 11th August 2011, 17:33

Holds together? you mean you have it finished?

**F5 Dave** · 11th August 2011, 18:01

There's a whole thread about it & yeah it runs, but not been tested at the track + the crank was rebuilt with new parts, . . . but in the 90s
