bike wrecking meet pics

[Deano]

I'm actually thinking of hiring Masterton Motorplex. Slack pricks haven't got back to me yet but there'd be zero problems there and it's not used during the winter months.

General Motors carpark in Upper Hutt is used for bucket racing occasionally - dunno about complaints etc (wrong jurisdiction), but Craig at Sawyers would know.

I used to do a few tricks on my BMX (reborn BMXer at age 23), Im might have to scrape up some dosh for a cheap stunter myself (Impulse or some other old shitter - no offence)

Hey Hey watch it! anything named after deodorant can't be shit by definition.

I used to have an Impulse. It was the shit!

Nah, you need something with at least a bit of torque. Rough and ready 600 Bandit or old GSXR1100.

Personally, I'm after something injected, simply for the throttle response when doing 12 O'Clocks and shit like that.

do us sub 250 riders even have a shot at an event like this?

Mate, I can stunt it up on my CG125 but I'd hate to try a Highchair or Can can on it. It's all fun but for competition stuff, you really need a big bike (600+)

WT, is fuel injection an advantage over carbys when your bike is on crazy angles from horizontal?

Would you need a swirl pot mounted on a funny angle for wheelies and the like, not to mention something sorted out for you oil supply?

[Motoracer]

I am so gonna be on the look out for a crashed R1 in a year or two to do this shit the right way... Just seems like so much fun... For now though, even if I do manage organise a proper stunt meet here, I most prolly wont be joining in...

Apparently, any sports bike after 2000 will handle it, you just need to run slightly higher oil level and any Suzuki post '98.

Early 'Blades had a problem with the placement of the oil pick up. The guys in the States do nothing other than frame strengthning and gearing so I'm thinking I'll be 'right. Time will tell and I'm in the fortunate position of having a clever bastard of a mechanic as a best mate to come up with solutions.

Somebody buy my fucking bike so I can get this progect rolling! Please!

Nothing wrong with that, sometimes the best enjoyment can be gained from just organising a shit hot event.

From that question I take it you haven't seen what the US stunters have been doing with their fiddy's.

I agree with WT, the most popular machines seem to be cbr900rr and the gsxr750. You do see the occasional r1 and some zx9r's.

WT - What are you doing as far as wheelie bar, crash bungs, etc? With the number of people interested it could be worthwhile doing a bulk buy from the US.

Anyone noticed there is a comp going on in Australia atm. Darius, Dan Jackson (with broken leg - so relagated to commentary), and about 1/2 doz other US riders are there battling with the Aussies.

The Aussies also have a Stunting Association up and running. Looks like NZ is as always slow on the uptake and therefore put behind the 8-ball.

It's good to see some momentum is now building.

For the record it's called a 12 O'Clock bar and I'll be having one built when I have a bike to build. Depending on what model I use, I'll also have a stronger, braced sub frame built. A left hand mounted rear brake lever is an advantage as is a crash cage. I don't believe in crash bungs as I've seen them do a lot of damage to frames on impact. Yoshimura engine covers are a possibility too.

Down 2 teeth on the front sprocket and up 10 or 12 on the rear is the first mod along with winding the idle up to around 4000rpm.

Man, I wanna ride NOW!

Shit! Can you do that? How does that go with the clutch being there?

I can do about 11 o'clock on my MTB and working on my 12s.

If I can get a left hand operated rear brake for the motorbike, I don't have to deal with swithcing the braking from left hand to right foot bullshit.

Piece of piss. You can splash out and buy a left thumb operated GP style one but any clever engineering type will be able to knock one out in a day or so.

You just have a really small MX style lever about 45 degrees below the clutch lever. Since you really only use it doing wheelies anyway it's in the perfect position.

Another tip for young players, if you want to drop the front REAL quick during an over rotated wheelie attempt and for whatever reason can't get to the rear brake. Grab a quick dap on the front brake lever. Be prepared for some very sore spuds for a while though. LOL

With the front in the air? really?

Thanx!
