    Well mine starts first time everytime... I'm just happy with that. Ugly, but reliable.

    If I was gonna start bucket racing I would just buy some ones old bike to learn on, when it brakes fix it, until you have a fair idea about how it works and move on from there.

    Possibly when it brakes, - drop down two gears & pitch it into the corner while gently releasing the brake & applying a touch of throttle.

    And hope that it doesn’t break.
