    Stay out my way, I figure anything as slow as these bikes is a full contact sport!

    Hey buddy, I was racing at Taupo. Mine was ready. Thread threaded.


    Maybe not finished, but a race bike in a formula class never is.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I think Drews next thread title will be "Ï'm crashing one"

    Thanks for the vote of confidence ya little fucker! I'm sure I will get the hang of riding little bikes eventually, or the hang of knocking people off and staying upright if not.

    It lives, and I've ridden it. Need to gear it up a bit more and change the jets.

    Add nylon and new tyres and it's race ready.

    So in summation, I started a bucket build thread, two weeks and $50 later I have built a running bike.

    See some of you at the track. PEACE OUT!

    I'll piss around with it a bit for sure, but doubt there will be any major changes in the the way it's put together.

    I'll use this one and when I want something better I'll build another one. That way there will be another bucket out there and the field grows.
