What ya think?

[nudemetalz]

I'm toying with the idea of increasing Team Nudsty's racebike collection and putting road tyres on my XR250 to Motard it at the bucket circuit.

Think this is wise ?
or do you think all I'll do is blow my XR up or break bones?

[Trudes]

Anything that adds to our viewing pleasure is good!!

[koba]

Very wise.
I dont think XR250s can blow up. My mate bought one for $900, we abused it for a year or two and he even put a hole in the crancase doing a sumpguardless jump. It kept going fine for another year at least with a knead-it patch over the wee hole...
He sold it, running fine, to a guy who was well aware of all its issues for a grand!

Do it!

[Colapop]

If you do then I'll try and wreck it for you if you want.

OR, you could just give it to me and I will destroy it....

[nudemetalz]

Hmm, I'm convinced that it is a good idea and I might just do it.

Now, Col & Hels,...I still want to go trail riding on it afterwards with engine going and the frame straight (ish)...

I spoke to a couple of people doing the whole motard thing and they cannot stop raving on about how much fun it is...and they certainly seem to be enjoying themselves out there!

Heck I say go for it! You only live once, and there is no point looking back thinking: I wish I'd done that...

[deanohit]

Do it, do it, do it!
I've been saving up and looking at XR100s and similer, I reckon one of those with some engine, suspension, brake and wheel work would be an awesome bucketard!

[nudemetalz]

Reason I was thinking was that last Sunday out at the track, there was only 3 "Motards" and figured mine would at least make 4 and hopefully encourage more people to do the same.
Plus it'll give some other people the chance to have fun blat around the track on something easy to ride.

[nudemetalz]

Another question,...can I use our #96 on the Motard as well as the Bucket ?

[quallman1234]

I wonder where you got this idea from?

Number's shouldn't be a problem.

Btw I was the guy out on the KDX200 With Crappy tyres on crashing every couple of laps, but i had fun doing it!.

You could either go for the cheap option of just putting 21 inch and 18inch road tyres on it (i think its possible but quite hard to find a decent 21 inch tyre, doesn't matter anyway! I did just fine(ish) on my trial tyres).
Only reason i go out in the motards is to keep the numbers up and hopefully not hurt my self.

The XR should be a good bike out there, not too much insanse power out of the corners like my kdx was doing (had to be extremely gentle with the throttle or else it would just spit you off!)

[nudemetalz]

Yup I got the idea from you guys !!!
Plus watching those cool Aprilia SVX550's backing into corners on the World Supermoto on TV

You were going well there, looked like you were enjoying yourself.

Sully tells me you can get ME33's in 21". Might have a looksie.

The brakes aren't too crash hot on the XR (too much sand around the coast), so will have to do something about that.
All going well I should have it out there on the 30th.

Jeeze, "every couple of laps" thats for pussies, my superior technique called for a crash every halp lap I did!

Hehe im pretty sure your pretty lucky that you didn't get to the exit of the hairpin ... *Rolls on the throttle* ...
