What class will this fit into?

[Pumba]

I think JC is quite honest about his thoughts on the subject. Yea it is not legal, but if we have room on the grid and they are not dangerous he will happily take there money

[Drew]

Nope and unless they start doing well,

So they're not fast enough to be cheating?

pissing people off or causing accidents with the slightly odd lines / low corner speeds it isn't likely.

And nice guys shouldn't be protested?

However if anyone ever does protest will be pretty open and shut case. Be an arse to go to the expense and hassle of sourcing and setting up to be told to sod off at some stage when for the same amount of coin and sweat you could keep it legal and probably be more competitive.

I'm really trying to fit in with the bucket scene, but it's hard. Most of the conversation I've read only goes four or five posts on here before someone starts talking about rules and shit. Yet no one was worried about a bike that doesn't fit the brief at the endurance race.

I fully condone this bike running by the way.

[Henk]

Things are pretty relaxed up here And to be honest there may be one or two bikes in Ak that fall outside the rules but no one takes it that seriously that a protest is likely, mostly the attitude is "fuck it one more bike on the grid can't be a bad thing"
Having said that if someone was to roll up with a bike that was obviously outside the rules and a complete weapon, or let's say an off the shelf racer like the one in the OP turned up and was damned fast the most likely outcome is that someone in an official capacity would say
"OI mate, you're taking the piss a bit here, get it legal or go away"

Down in the mid pack where I lurk people are pretty casual but when the guys running at the front have gone to a lot of time and effort to get the machinery competitive it's only fair that the rules are taken into account.

At the end of the day most of us are in it for shits and giggles and a word to the wise usually goes a fair way, if anyone really causes problems we have ways of dealing with it but hasn't been necessary in the 3 years I've been playing. Mind you I'm mostly in it for the good cunts you meet and the beer.

Thats how it seems to me from what I have seen, its only on forums when people are bored that its a problem. Throw a couple of wind up merchants in the mix and wallah!

that's voila you ignorant young oik

[Kickaha]

If it isn't a MNZ permitted meeting I couldn't see a problem, if it was and you knowingly let bikes that aren't legal for that class into the mix and something turns to custard I wouldn't want to be the organiser

[koba]

This isn't dead yet?

Thought I would clarify my thoughts on it, not that they really matter.

It ain't legal. We have bikes down here like that, it's not about exclusion and I'm sure most people would be happy to have people along to most events.
I'm not worried, the more the merrier as far as I'm concerned...

BUT it is important that everyone is well aware that such a bike doesn't comply with the rules.

It would be quite arse to shell out one's hard-earned for one under the impression that it is a Bucket when it actually ain't.

It reads differently on the net to different people.

If I read it with an outsiders view it all looks a bit anorak silly.
I think most of us heavier users are on here because we would rather discuss bucket rules than watch the shit that passes for telly these days.

Remember most of us actually know each other too so the tone can appear different to how it really is between different people.
Added to that there is an diverse and odd gamut of humour sense.


Henk's a real wanker tho and he hardly ever speaks sense....

My wife agrees.

By the way I have an idea for the GP side bet, you bring two shots, I'll bring two, we mix em up and split. I have your kaitoke side bet sorted, one of the guys at work told me that rat poison isn't toxic if you soak in rum for two weeks. Works for me.

I like the first bit, great idea. Agreed.

As for the Rat Poison, not so keen. I think we should agree at this point not to go down that path!


"Jar a brake fluid, handful of raisins, set out in the sun for a few days to ferment. Filtered through some old stale bread, pretty good kick"

[Henk]

I'll go with your points one and two, but dispute point three. Brake fluid tastes awful.

Yeah, it does but I'm sure the raisins mellow it out a bit!

For sure .......

[Moooools]

Not enough controversy on this thread.

Is this head legal or illegal? Assuming the rest of the engine you are adding it to is already legal. And that you don't use the 170cc barrel.

I say legal.
