Bucket racing

[FROSTY:Me]

I dont think its a national thing --just here in auckland.
I think there is gonna be a mini industry of guys doing an fxr150 to fxr140 kit by fitting a smaller barrel and sleeving them to 140cc
of course some smart dude would contact the factory where theyre built and just have some built as fxr140 s
I still think that on the big tracks the strokers are gonna smoke em

It is apparent that you do not yet sufficiently FEAR the BUCKET-RACING FXR of DOOM!

I shall SMITE down upon ye FECKLESS and WANTON riders of these TWO-STROKES. And they shall know that I am the LORD when I lay down my OWNAGE upon them!

Also, my matt black paint scheme with matching leathers will be very fetching.

[FROSTY:Me]

a hhh ye of little faith. could it be that thou are smitten with thine own reflected image?
Nay tis but a nave dressed in the armour of a black knight.
lest one finds egg apon ones face best one waits till one hast visited the lists

I know two (2stroke)buckets being built that are going to ruin your day, and hopefully everybody else's as well.

One is only going to make 30hp or so but the other one will be up there and both are in RS125 chassis.

So I’m assuming you don’t include my (by now 5 yr) 100cc project into these 2.

So someone else is doing it? So much for getting the jump on everyone, they’ll be as common as muck soon.

Hey man, anything more than 2 strokes is masturbation.

So what time do things start on sunday morning at market gardens, and how am I going to recognise KB'ers?

We'll get going after 10. No.27, though don't laugh this is a shakedown ride of a new bike.

Bit early for excuses isn't it

[FROSTY:Me]

blame the bike from day one --and justify it by setting it up so no sane human being would ride it--works for me

Funny you should say that we were just talking today about a carb that fell off his bike while he was racing at Ruapuna a couple of years back.

[F5 Dave]

Thanks guys.

Well thankfully the new bike ran a treat & aside from a couple of niggles -like one of the footpegs folds too horizontally & [ahem] the gearlever bolt falling out, it was all good.

Hi Dave

Will email those photos soon. I downloaded the application form for Vic club and my race license today.
Know anyone with some cheap leathers for sale? I'd rather not use my good ones.

[svs]

I'd rather not use my good ones.

If you're racing I suggest that you should be wearing the best leathers you have. Sure you're more likely to fall off, but that's exactly when you want your leathers to save your arse.
