Bucket update

[CM2005]

no..
i liked it when we were all in together... up in dorkland....

luke and dave go out in the F4 class all the time ( luke has the standared rg50.. and does NOT come last ( someone will fall off ......)

while down in chch last year at the BOB we had the all in down there and the 50's didnot shame themselves.!!

about 20 years ago people were spending 1000's of $$ on their buckets... me, i spent about 3-400... and while i never won many races was all had

FUN

fair enough!! its cool when you can beat waaayy tuned up bikes on a stocker! those 50's are way fast.

found my results from the weekend, my first championship points EVER!

I probably didn't explain the reasoning behind having a separate class.
All in races are cool and the old bikes could race in the "Premier Class" as well, as you know AJ the more the better.
I just think that if someone had an ol' skool CG125 or whatever in their garage they could turn up and see "modern looking" bikes and GP framed bikes and be a little dishartened (is that even a word- there has already been enough "Bush" on this thread).
I see it being like post classics for buckets.

The socio economic thing is also a good idea but maybe a little harder to apply. My bike complete rolling chassis cost me nothing because I was in the right place at the right time and the motor came out of the old RG framed rocket twister. I can't afford to spend anything on my buckets but because I have "contacts" I can keep my rig going pretty good.

Keep up the debate Y'all

Yeah The bike fourth in the points, Mark Robinson, Thats Hamishes old bucket that thing is a rocket ship, Yamaha TZ50 Chassis, Aprillia RS50 engine AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Ivan]

Ahhh, Im gonna finish the AX im gonna come up and do Slipway next weekend the only thing holding me up is tank welding as no one wants to do it

[bungbung]

Ivan, do you have a crack in your tank or some other problem?
After my last off I cracked my tank, I've bodged it up with metal epoxy.

[Ivan]

Problem is I need a tab welded to it so the tank can bolt onto bike then its done

As The standered Aprillia Tank was plastic and is had it,


And I cantfind a tank that willfit, SO i got a RX100 tank i think, it is designed to slide over a tube chassis and be heldin place were as the aprillia is different, so I have to weld a tab on it so I can bolt it to frame and it will be mint but like I said no one wants to weld it.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Just weld the fuggen thing

Wash it out with water.. leave it for a couple of hours and weld away... or if your not convinced, first stand back and drop a match in.. No boom?? Weld away!!

Does anyone know if a RG400 shock and linkage will fit in an early alloy RG250 frame?

I reckon that if you're going to split the classes it's best along frame design lines. Backbone and twin spar maybe.

Chch split between 'Production' - as it left the shop pretty much, and 'Super Bucket' - anything modified.

Dar, not that I've really thought about it.

[Slingshot]

My new engine arrived today!

It was like Christmas! The RZ chassis hasn't arrived yet though and it's not looking like I'll get it before the weekend.

Oh well...at least I've got an engine to play with, here are some pics:

Sure it will, anything will fit if you try hard enough.

[Skunk]

I'll be round next Saturday to measure that pipe...

[Slingshot]

I'll be round next Saturday to measure that pipe...

Are there regs on pipe size?

[Skunk]

Nope, just noise... I haven't got a decent pipe on mine - that's all. You may need to make a muffler of sorts.

I'm pretty sure the chassis has a muffler coming out under the seat so may be able to use that.

I'm dying to kick it over but fucked if I know what all the parts are for.
