    Trashie's bucket build

    Well, after years and years of refusing all offers to have a go on a bucket, I finally was worn down and folded like a paper napkin.

    Thanks to the generosity of Fish, made my debut a few weeks ago on his ZXR chassis at the "Endurance" event at Kaitoke. And, confirming my worst fears, I was fucking hooked. Just what I friggen needed, more projects.

    So here's my bucket build thread as I cobble together something of my own to ride.

    I was lucky enough to aquire a complete FZR250 3LN which will donate its bones to the project. I'm hoping the money raised from selling bits off it will cover the costs of some of the bits and pieces I need. Biggest issue is getting a motor so if anyone has anything spare at a reasonable price, please let me know.

    Couple of images of the bike as we (me and 9 year old daughter) pull it to bits. 12 year old daughter isn't too interested in working on it but looking forward to riding it.

    You arsehole. I'm far from pure though mate, very far.

    Looking forward to mixing it up with you clowns sooner rather than later. When I say "mixing", of course I mean glimpsing while being lapped..........

    Yup. Racing career goes F1, Sidecar swinger, F4. How much further is there to climb on the ladder of awesome racing before you reach the top?

    You've got a year to prepare for the next BOB where I will kick your arse until your nose bleeds

    Forgive my lack of knowledge here, but is bucket racing for smaller cc bikes, up to 150cc? If so, didn't Suzuki and Kawasaki make a couple af great little watercooled two-stroke sports 125's and are there any racing in the class? The most popular seems to be the FXR150 four-stroke.

    Water cooled two stroke are restricted to 100cc, Air cooled two stroke 125cc, four stroke 150cc

    100cc four stroke can be turboed

    That's a shame, as the water-cooled 125's went really well and were raved over when they were released. Is there a class for them, or any interest in racing them? There are a few 125's that would make for good racing, including the Aprillia.

    I have AX100 parts, enough to make a engine with. You can have for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
    However they are better of being in a bin, because its a AX100 engine.

    As posted in another thread.

    You would be restricted to a pair of 17mm carbs (I think) or a single 24mm carb.
