The best thing about bucket racing?

[Number One]

After a very long break from buckets (2ish years)I had a few circulations of the Kaitoke go kart track on a very kindly lent fxr150. Having only ridden Kaitoke a few times awkwardly and on my last occasion going away in n ambulance I wasn't able to recapture my knee down, 2nd in Bgrade of long ago, former self.

Despite knowing how slow I was (4 me) and that was frustrating, STILL I loved it again all the same.

But as I now recall from my days of racing buckets efore, the bit I love the mostest is the day after ride on my road baby. Mmmm Rocco and me had fun today. Yay buckets!

Whats the best thing for you about racing buckets

Mmmm. There are many things I enjoy about buckets and the best thing for me at the moment is sharing it with my girls.

I love the next day riding the Hornet as well. It's so much easier to ride after a day racing buckets. To say my road riding has improved since I discovered buckets is a huge understatement.

The great people we get to meet ,The hard racing is magic but "port on the corner" is the most fun !!

The best things?
I'd have to go with the people and the trips away, because of the people.

The thing I love about Buckets is that there is a fun level for everyone, anyone can find a slot where they fit in.

Not only riding at whatever level that suits but there is also bike building, tuning, mechanicing, organizing and flagging, there is something for anyone with a positive attitude.

Deep in that corner where you've found that slightly banked rail, the rear suspension has compressed but the rear wheel has dug in & you can give it some fat knowing it's going to take it. Then that BRRAAAP 2 stroke power coming in.

Some days it just comes together

.....everything....

Finding new and inventive ways of making shit fit.

Thrashing something I built, good bunch of people, competitive racing - but still being able to talk shit n have a laugh in the pits straight after. I also like how generous people are with lending their bikes out for a few 'careful' laps . I also like how buckets has improved my riding skills for road riding and not just racing. It also stops me from having any desire to race on the road at all (except for a few wheelies, but that's not racing).

[crazy man]

l like the close racing , the building of the bike ( you can do most things) the cheapness of the everything(some times) and getting told of lol

[Edbear]

Now here I was thinking buckets were for hauling water. Seems you can thrash them, share them with your children, make them fit anything and even race them!

I reckon the only thing you shouldn't do with one is kick it...

ok heres another one, inspiration taken from another thread:

The best thing about bucket racing; -Standing next to my 50, I'm a strapping bruiser.
