Bucket update

[Slingshot]

Awesome! Good price too.

Import a Chinese GL145. $520 to your door.

See you on the 26th of this month then. At least to try the track eh? My bucket should be back in one piece by then.

No dont getacheapChinese GL145,

If you doing that, Buy one of them Lifan 150cc V twin engines that would be awsome

At the moment, I'm looking at a GP100 on TradeMe. Looks like it's already had a bit of work and comes with a few spares.

What do you think??

[Skunk]

I like your thinking Ivan - don't get a Chinese engine; get a Chinese engine that weights more...

I hate you Slingshot... Good find I reckon. $200 is a good price. At least it's a 5 speed (I think from memory).

I agree with Skunk
That motor would be a good place to start as you will actually be able to get the bits to keep it running for a few seasons to come. I doubt that would be easy especially with a Lifan 150 V-twin where you would have to get two of everything (I know this from experience). One thing though, make sure that chuck in that fuunnky fuel tank, thats just bucketastic!

[Sully60]

Hey Skunk
I see that the boys got the 125 twin running so the cam timing must be right.
Next thing they need are 2 x CRF70 pistons and a 3mm overbore, we won't see which way it goes.

Are you bringing your ZXR weapon to the next round? It would be good if one bike with a GL145 motor turned some laps, not talking about anyone in particular aye!

[Skunk]

Love to but I haven't got the money to get either the GL or the TF engine for it running. (Dropped a valve through the piston of the GL, TF is in bits...)

Yeah...assuming it's the original GP gearbox then it should be a five speed.

Hey Sketchy Racer
You're still alive, I heard something about someone crashing into a wall a Manifeild and instantly thought of you. When are you coming back to get whopped at the slipway?

Haha,

Yeap im still alive.

Albit broken.. but alive

Now. Im sure i know you, but i can't figure out who you are by your screen name!! And when did i get whopped at slipway?

[Sully60]

Oh stink one bro!
Do you know if Sketcy Racer will be coming down? Didn't he come along with you one time?

[Sully60]

I don't know when you last got whopped but if you come back I'm gunna make it my personal mission to whop your pimply ass from one end of the slipway to the other.
Oh have you actually got a bike? I saw some pictures on KB of you spanking on about your flash paint job on the FXR but that was months ago from what I could tell, If you need a bike I've got a real fast RG50 you can ride.

[Skunk]

Spill Sully60... who are you?

[Sully60]

I'm the one who oh so gracefully pirouetted out of top corner in the last race of the last meeting when the track suddenly iced over!

[Sketchy_Racer]

I don't know when you last got whopped but if you come back I'm gunna make it my personal mission to whop your pimply ass from one end of the slipway to the other.

Jeez mate get with it!! I sold the FXR over 6 months ago!

ohh a super duper fast 50.. i like them.
Have you christened it yet??

Either way.. i don't think im gonna be riding at the next meeting. i think im still gonna have a brace on my leg holding my pieces on kneecap together. damnit!

I was wondering if i geared my RS right down, if i could manage to get it around slip way hmmmm.. anyone say massive power wheelies

[Sketchy_Racer]

Oh yeah,

PS: Sully60 Good luck with that mission!!!

[Sully60]

Dude I actually wanted to ride my 50 but I need you to prop me up when the front end lets go! Shame about your leg dude I heard the crash was a bit ugly. Was the FXR still going when you sold it? I remember the clattering from the general vicinity of the engine room was getting quite loud when it was hauling my big ass around the carpark last year. I hope you don't know the person who brought it!

[Sketchy_Racer]

haha.. ohh thats ironic!

I know the person that bought it quite well actually. and as far as i know she's going sweet as a nut (appart from my useless carb tuning!!)

I think that clatter might have been your brain rattling in your head... lmao!!

yeah the knees a bugger.. but the bike well..

Bones grow, bikes cost money. I know what it feels like to almost put $7000 of bike in the bin now. not fun! (okay, maybe not that bad.. but it rooted.. both wheels bent, frame and swingarm cracked.. forks bent.. all body work is a write off.. my handbuilt samba chamber.... thankfully repairable!!!... and all the other odds and ends.)

whos the wise guy who puts white paint on a race track any way!!! (then again.. who scrubs in a new slick in the wet!)
