Team GPR

Totally agree there. After all the money I have smoked on the 300 in the last 2 weeks I could have build 3 50s. My 50 build will kick off proper after xmas. Ready for the GP.

Keep posting your progress on the 50 pages Rich, I would like F5 to go free tech rules as it would make the class even more exciting

the rules out of the uk are

Engine:
Two stroke and four stroke engines with a capacity of no more than 50cc.


Transmission:
A minimum of 3 gears and a maximum of 6 gears.


Wheels:
Wheel diameter must be between 16" and 18"

They have now allowed CVT but they have to be chain driven.
Basically the only rule is 50cc and go for it

so this is a bad idea you are saying

Never. Just can get pricy when racing. You know the drill.

If Richban retires I'm renumbering my bike 175 for the same reason

Come on !!!!!! 200

Jesus Scott! I'm always impressed by the amount of work the GPR crew puts out. Especially it seems, over this last winter!

If you ever need another rider, even a jaffa, sing the hell out, I'd love to do a series on a GPR!

I hope so too, too early for presents.

Was out at the Classic Motorcycle Clubs 'Champagne Breakfast' the day after and got talking about Buckets. Two of them have said they had photographs of bucket racing in the 90's and 80's, hope to get these up some time if they come to fruition. One lot was the Esplanade, the other was the Foodtown Carpark if anyone can remember those days.

Amazing what is out there, makes me think about doing that Bucket Racing book that I threatened to do a while back. PM me with photographs and information if you are willing to help. What would be good is a contribution from every major Bucket Racing stronghold, images of buckets through the years, pictures of tracks that were used, information and pictures of bikes that were successful or maybe less so. Goes for Sidecars as well.

My book on Ashhurst's history is due in 12 years when the 150th anniversary happens, no reason I can't work on two books consecutively.

PM me and I can give my email address over, and lets see where this can go...

This is a good idea...
It would cool to do a multi section book:
history from around NZ,
GPs and the like (profiles of multiple GP champions),
special builds over the decades (thinking of Wheelers centre hub, ziffles TF, Jason's RG400 barrelled Thing).
Then the rebirth with the FXRs etc.
I'm sure a few of the Silverbacks have some stories to tell.
