    Upper Hutt Bucket Racing pics

    I took the kids to see the bucket racing at Kaitoke today, and just happened to have the digital camera with me.

    Enjoy the pics.

    I'll let those who are in the pics say who they are, but F5 Dave, Eddie and Bungbung were on the track... can you work out which ones they are?

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Oh - and one last one.

    For those who thought buckets were slow old pigs...

    Check out F5 Dave's form on the penultimate lap.

    Nice work mate.

    and many thanks to EddieB for letting me out on his 4st for a session this afternoon. Excellent track surface and easily the best surface that I've raced buckets on. Great fun.

    Now... who has a bucket for sale?

    There was a kids go with a couple of young uns having a go. One had a JR80 with slicks on it. He was going pretty well.

    That track looks just great, still! I can't wait to get there(Wellington), just hope I have a chance to come out and play.

    Great photos.

    Cheers, I had a disappointing day really. This rib is taking longer to heal than I thought, but the sad thing (come with age I guess) is I couldn’t stop thinking about falling off after a few laps & like that really I couldn’t hang with Hamish & Jay. Pity, stella day, great track. Hopefully when I am fully healed I won’t care about flinging it away so much & can ride at 100%.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
