Where does it say anything about wear and tear. Rebored mine to 156 as soon as I got it. It is a retarded bit of the rules in my opinion should just say max capacity is blah blah. I thought we hated the mini retards coz they had little silly wheels.

You should be more worried if I state im going on a diet Drew. That extra 5cc of honda is only enough to haul my big ball sack.
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.
Up on 1 to save on tyre costs
Agreed. But dude have you ridden a decent one...? They KICK ASS - fun wise hahaI thought we hated the mini retards coz they had little silly wheels.

Clear as fuckin day alright arsehole! You cannot start from more than 150cc, and must bore to it. So there is a huge number of fuckin hypocrites that are full of shit in buckets.
Not having a go at you Steve, I have no issue at all with you running a 159cc bike. Christ, with your dimensions you should be allowed a 200cc.
Same as any other type of racing, an old boys club full of two faced fuckin wankers.

My vote for best post of the year. Love your work Dew.

yeah he's right Kick, you two faced wanker. How dare you point out that there are rules. and expecting everyone to follow them. You must be The Man that everyone talks about.
On the other hand, I'm the man, And if I'm the man, Then you're the man, and. He's the man as well.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I thought Roger Decoster was 'The Man'.
No8 Wire Extraordinaire
Probably was, but think he went into business after that & became another kind of The Man. As in 'Working for the Man'.
We should 'stick it to The Man'.

And in between
sips of coke
he told me
that he thought we
were sellin' out,
layin' down,
suckin' up
to the man.
Don't you look at my accountant.

From Wiki
Motorcycling career
De Coster's name is almost synonymous with the sport of motocross, winning five 500cc Motocross World Championships during the 1970s and tallying a record 36 500cc Grand Prix victories.[2] His stature is such in the world of motocross that he is often simply referred to as "The Man."[1]
He was The Man and still is The Man.
He currently runs the KTM AMA Supercross team with quite a bit of success.

I thought he'd gone into the aftermarket trade in the 80s, vaguely remember DeCoster style Throttles or something, but didn't do a search to back that up & I'm too lazy to. Probably well gone now. But same as Preston Petty & another De-something who marketed oversize plastic tanks which were the bus for steel tanked XRs etc.
Either way whilst out for a walk I ruminated 'why is everyone getting in a pissy?'
Buckets has been around for 30 odd years. It isn't supposed to be a level playing ground production type class. It isn't supposed to mop up all comers who want to race a bike they find on TM & we're all wankers. Actually we're good cunts & no one will mind if (for example) this Mossy chap shows up & has a race on something as long as it is nyloned up & safe & he has the intention of sorting a legal engine if it isn't already in the near future. Which is pretty much what the dude said, so good on him.
What we don't want is people just deciding that they can just wholesale break the rules, as there is no end to that. Look at Rich. He came for a look & raced his oversize Vespa, & decided hey this is fun so he built a proper bucket. He's the Man.

Yes the wellington crew were very patient with me. Now some people even look in my direction with a none hate, sort of face. Some people. One day I might get invited on a play date. One day. But hey I have learnt my lesson. Its the small wheels I am sure of it.Look at Rich. He came for a look & raced his oversize Vespa, & decided hey this is fun so he built a proper bucket. He's the Man.

I think that the difference is that its a 125 engine reworked in the spirit of bucket racing and not a importer trying to sell under the bucket racer ready to race. Im sure if he offered it with 150cc option that could be bored oversize everyone would say go for it.
Plus Drew the bike is unknown so far and the seller didnt have a good idea of work done. It may well be a 125 bored 2mm oversize with 200 head and be 140odd cc but im sure ill let everyone know as soon as I do. You know I have always operated within the rules and im very open about whats been done when racing in the posties. If something is outside the rules ill get it sorted.
Also bike motor was 125 and I intend rebore a 63mm sleave to 63.25 to use a piston(open) xl185 one size over giving me 63.25 bore and 49.5stroke = 155.35cc. If this isnt acceptable everyone let me know before I spend some money thanks.

You must have got someone else to work that out for you because you'd be to thick to do it yourself
Give us some examples so we can take the piss out of them to because everyone I know of down here builds to the rules
Who are you calling old you spotty faced little oink
