    Seeking my old Bucket

    Does anyone know where the Honda 50, Number 4 Bike raced at Ohakea around 1996-98 may have ended up.
    It had a full white Fairing when I owned it.
    I would love to know of it's history after I sold it around 1988ish.

    I made the Disk. Ziffle was racing a 100 back then, he cost me a Collarbone once 8-(
    I used to work at MotoRecycle and ran a trio of MB50s, Chris Sayle (UK) raced one and the 3rd Bike was raced by whoever turned up on the day.

    Always worth asking, you never know what people have stashed away!
    It's getting rare to see 50's at events although they do seem to be having a bit of a resurgence.

    You should come and have a watch/play sometime...

    Heya Murray, Dave Trustrum here. Yeah my mate Matt bought that. The mono shock conversion was a bit soft and he lost pace. He's got bikes all over the place but unless it's still at his parents I'm afraid it will be gone. RG50s just made them all obsolete. Even I had to jump ship eventually. As did DaveDip.

    I'd bought Chris's brothers bike but can't remember his name. Mike, oh I guess I can. Chris and Kate's bikes disappeared and I lost touch with them.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Hiya Dave, had a Haircut yet??

    Chris & Kate married here in NZ then departed for the UK where they got unmarried. Kate returned to NZ and Chris remained in the UK. He's on Facebook but hasn't responded to my contact request yet. Where does it all happen these days? might come and have a look.

    Murray.
