Engine Size Questions

[Kickaha]

Do you really think that? They have put up a pile of support for entry level riders

Yeah and good on them for doing that, pity it was at the expense of a class that had the biggest numbers last year and which has been dropped after being told it wouldn't be to let the Gixxer 150 guys race

That bit would be totally in your imagination.

And $9000 Bucket only belongs in the optimistic sellers thread.

Was over ten grand when I first saw Sephan's for sale.

Which class did they drop?

Development, but I guess all those guys can sell all their shit and just go buy a Gixxer 150

hang on, it was only there for one season and propped up hugely by the provision of the underground brown truck to transport a number of bikes around, and you driving, was it sustainable without the truck? why aren't they running at levels then, it's a largely south island class after all?
we don't have 500 manx nortons these days at the nationals either...

this new class you get fined if you dont turn up so the dealer ship told me

If that's true, it opens a can of worms...Injury, family emergency, travel breakdown, arrest for excessive partying....They've all happened.

Do you really think that? They have put up a pile of support for entry level riders & some fuckwit that's probably done nothing ever to support anything other than their own best interests thinks that.
What's your claim to fame for supporting racing in NZ?
As I recall, bucket rules were that if someone offered you $1500 for your bike, you had to sell it to them. What happened to that? What with $9000 buckets on trademe.

It's moto4 Bob.

Bucket racers do, when the commercial organizers of a race series try to push their non compliant bikes onto F4 in a belated attempt to add value to their own venture.

If you want to race Buckets, field a Bucket compliant bike, they could have easily done it but now they just come across as complete cocks that display a sense entitlement.

Look at the mentality towards Buckets shown below.

It was a consideration....... the early marketing F4 was mentioned to give more track time, this part of the marketing was removed when it was pointed out they don't comply. Even changing the engine size for F4 has been discussed to allow them in.

That's only for the over sixteen year Olds. Riders younger than that have to go to bed early without any pudding.

How could they enforce that?

My mistake Spyda, it was 250 Proddy that was asked about which is still running

Sustainable without the truck? most likely, not sure if that would have affected the numbers though, truck is available for this year as well

Can't race next time until you pay up.

[jellywrestler]

it's happened in sidecar racing for the last few decades, sometimes the flavour of piss is questionable but free piss is free piss.

Not totally shit , just confused, the Aussies had a claiming rule, it was about 20 years ago and it was about $1000.

I suspect some of these bucket racers haven't been around for as long as they think they have.
That was the rule in the early '80's regarding buckets, before Valentino's retarded little brothers started turning up.
It used to be fun until all the dickheads thought anyone cared about the results & couldn't get over there own awesomeness at winning an amateur race on an amateur built bike.
And yes, there was a $9000 bucket on trademe. Only after it was discounted down from $11,000 though.
