You never know how he'll go, there's a lot of current and past NZ Champions who either rode buckets or still ride them

so you didn't do the nationals this year then, it was fully ok to do this for the first two meetings then they realised how dangerous it was and changed it back.....

It's Bucket racing Drewpy, they pay it in Monopoly Money.

No, some way to serious guy was concerned that he may finish last in the world bucket chumps & crashed into the back of us so hard he broke the deck off & caved the sidewheel under in an attempt to pass.

Fuck, how did they manage to escape from the titanium bubble that is bucket racing?

If anything mate, you had a bad weekends racing and this gives you an easy out. Possibly harder than you though? were not all cocks like you think, this is the biggest title for the titanium bubble that is bucket racing as you say. Fastest man on the day won, coudos to him. I think the problem is a simple rule for all has been ignored by one, it just so happens it was the person who won. If you have to see the merit in the argument. Going forward, I think lessons learned by both officials and riders. As for words said and love lost, let's just get back to racing!

Sidecar Bob. Virtually evert comment you have made has been derogatory and belittling. Maybe I've missed one. You obviously lost your temper. Either you can appologise or continue in a way that paints you in a bad light. And its rich coming from a sidecar guy. Surely you should see the parallels of how chairs are often treated in bike meets.

it was a mean machine, it was so fast the r clip for the brake pads stayed on for an entire race, on the deck, where I left it.

I now know what Craig is up to, doubling his track time with some adventure riding.

don't jump to conclusions. just because he has sidecar in his name doesn't mean he's into sidecars, afterall there is a balding middle aged man posting in this thread called Jellywrestler.

Having raced both classes for quite some time I've often thought that

Bob probably just needs a hug, sort that out for us Gordy

No, I haven't lost my temper, I'm not sure how you managed to arrive at that, but a lot of posters in this thread have, over a minor incident that can't be changed now. I'm not apologising for pointing out the truth.
Drew always told me that telling a bucket racer that buckets went proper bikes would wind them up. I was just testing that theory & yep, sure enough.
