gonna get a bike when i get the money otherwise il have to watch until then, that pit bike made me think of turning my 110cc super pocketbike into a bucket, would that be legal? I wana put a bigger engine in it, providing it fits in the frame, the one it has is WAY too slow at the moment. Anyone hapen to have a small engine they dnt want? (he said hopefully)

Mine? My current collection of bucket bits consists of a seemingly endless supply of used 120 section race tyres.

Dunno how long it'll take to amass the rest of required parts but I've got a bit of a plan coming together. Doubt I'll be at Round I of KOK but maaaaayyyyybeeeee R II.

Also seriously doubt I'll be A grade material after watching you, Fish and Dave going at it.

That's Alien grade, normal A grade starts at about 4th or 5th place from what I've seen.

Good stuff Emilio, you might get a really fast bucket out of a decent pit bike (like the one you rode) but definitely lacks on handling.

You'd be sweet in A grade Jimmy. I have a mates bucket that needs a ton of love but is together for the most part. It's a TS125 motor with a CR85 chamber (it's still slow but I imagine could be pretty damn fast if you could be bothered tuning the motor and putting a proper chamber on) in an RGV150 frame (crap) with slicks (plenty of meat but probably a tad stale) and rims that are ok. If you or anyone else is interested, even if you buy it just for the working motor then let me know. It's a good start anyway! The motor is in great condition I think.

Couldn't agree more mate. All I know is that Rogan is doing 46s at Kaitoke and I can't keep up with him. Sub 45s required for A grade? Be a while before I'm hassling you in A grade bro.
