Bucket racing

[QUOTE=F5 Dave]Thanks Eddie, though pity it was a pic when I’m only 15 degrees from vertical, hardly illustrates my point,

but this was a fast corner, mumble excuse etc. . .

Doncha just hate that-All my pics are me setting up for a corner not actually in the corner

mind you a couple of feet furthur right and ya knee woulda been toast
That looks like a fun place to race--Where was it?

It’s a carpark in Granada north (Tawa wgtn). It’s ok, but a little small. We are trying to get back on the kart track here (that’s a long story & lets not get into it).

There was one corner that was so tight that the only way around it on the RS was to drop it on it’s side & lean for England. If you tried to come up the inside of someone the steering lock would prevent you turning tight & upright. Pretty scary really.

Oh yeah the Cops turned up & we thought, oh great a complaint, but they were just killin' time & sat at the end putting the radar on us. Coming out of the corner pictured I was doing 72k apparently. Yeah it's a short track.

If you get back on the kart track there's a couple of us that will come up for a meeting,but having been to a meeting at Tawa I don't think I could get many interested in coming up for that,I think we're just spoilt with the tracks down here.

Progress is being made as well speak I believe. There’s room at my place to crash for a small contingent, we’ll let you know as it happens.

No worries, I saw you sent me a reply but my email chewed it up so I don't know what it said.

Sent my club membeship to vic off last week, not sure if I will get it back in time to get a race license before the 25th though.

For those who are interested in having a look, the next round of the bucket racing in Wellington is this sunday at Tawa market Gardens.

As long as it's not pissing down with rain or something similiar I'll be there (Ratty Suzuki GS125, #33), hopefully around 10:30.

Practice starts around 10am with racing starting around 12-12:30.

Dave, you going to be there this month?

Has anyone heard any news of any progress towards racing at Kaitoke?

Good point, as I was jumping out of the shower this morning (try not to visualise) I thought I should post a thing on the bucket racing this weekend so you beat me to it (ok I forgot again).

Yes I will be there racing if it isn’t too miserable. The bike is all back together & should be a bit better sorted than the last meeting’s last min lashup.

My trusty H100 will be there if a newbie want a go (& I can remember to drag it out). No. 27

Actually I am thinking about selling the H as I mainly ride the 50 these days & should really move onto finishing the new (started 6 yrs ago) 100 project (after the 750 project is complete).

Not sure re Kiatoke. Andrew might know some more.

HHmmmm... a motorsport weekend. might have to come down on sunday for a look and then think about trying to get some money from the mrs to try it out myself!

**F5 Dave** · 25th August 2004, 12:20

Bring your leathers & check the on line trading for my advert in a while.

**Eddieb** · 25th August 2004, 12:26

There was another bike for sale there last time as well. An early RGV250 framed 2 stroke, I think an H100 or mb100. The guy wanted about $600 with $300 of new tyres on it.

p.s. Dave, did I see you biking up Belmont hill last weekend?

**F5 Dave** · 25th August 2004, 12:32

What something with pedals? I must have a familiar looking ass.

**Eddieb** · 25th August 2004, 12:40

Actually I was heading towards said cyclist on a steep bit of the hill, but the face was so screwed with pleasure/pain I thought whoever was riding must have had the seat off or something.

It appears Vic club have rangled 6 Kiatoke meetings for next year. First one will likely be a 2hr or something special & we'll try to invite as many out of towners as poss.
