    Hi Fungus. Have you been to the bucket races before? Are you coming out this sunday ? There will be a heap of KBers there look for 68, 88, 83. What sort of bucket were you thinking about. FXR150's are pretty good and dont take much taking care of. But are in the $800 to $2000 range. Look on Tardme often thats where I got my FXR. The crashed ones are good all the plastic is prebroken and expensive to fix. The 2 strokes are good but you need to have a bit of mechanical sypmpathy to get them sussed. There was a good honda engined special sold recently for about $500 . If you get the chance think twice buy once. Hope to see you Sunday

    Unfortunatly the FXR thing is a luck of the draw, theres also a CG125 on TM at the moment, I can get you a AX100 for $400, rather tidy it is too.

    Fergie mate, you did well in the BOB 23rd out of 46 starters... not bad for ya 1st race
