Should this forum name be changed to Formula 4 and 5 instead of Buckets

[Trudes]

Actually referring to the manual has anyone got the latest copy? When I renewed my licence, I got a letter that it would be sent out before 31 July, anyone else get that or seen the new book?

I got the same story, never seen 'The Book' before.

Superbikes = Production Superbike, but when did you last hear it referred to as that?

We should be able to sort this issue out with reason, or a ballot.

Race a real bucket and not a race ready bike in that class, and ride the bucket class with pride. Race ready 125cc's should be in a different class IMHO. Buckets should stay as they were intended, Cobbled together "Buckets of Bolts". A cheap way of getting in to bike racing, where you bike mechanic/maintance skills count as much as ya riding.

Yip, thats right, you paid extra for the book, but they didnt have any, and said they would be sent out before 31 July.

Buckets was always about taking a standard bike and making it better, nothing has changed. Race ready 125's have the 125GP class to race in, they are not buckets.

And a useless poll it is. The whole point of this was to raise the profile of the official names of the class and you put up a poll that makes it one or the other.

No one wants to do away the the name Buckets. Bloody Gingas...

I find it damn funny (at your expense) that a group of a dozen odd people arguing/debating on a forum thinks they are going change the way an entire class is dealt with nationally because of their written word on KB…

Get a grip people, KB is not the beginning and end of all racing in NZ. Your “debate” and poll will change fuck all with regards to the way “buckets” are run nationally.

But yes I do agree with Skunk… bloody ginga's!

Being serious (for about the first time in this thread)... I'm not expecting anything to change nationally. All I'd like is for a few people to realise this is a Formula class and as such has rules. We get a few at the Slipway who think (as it's quite casual) that anything goes.
Well, no, it doesn't. Wheelies in the pits, joining in a race whenever you feel like etc are not on. I think, in our case, a little awareness will help improve things. Sooner or later the crap that goes on will bite us on the arse. It's all well and good having fun but we are to close the anarchy.
First move should be to show that there are some rules to be adhered too. Then enforce them.
Changing the name of the forum was a first idea along this path.

As you Southerners and Aucklanders run meetings to MNZ standards you don't really have the same issues. I can see us either having a serious accident or losing our venue. Neither are good for us, or the look of the sport.

I'm in two minds as to whether I should post this so please don't quote it as I'd like to be able to remove it if I feel the need to.

Oh waht was that? Don't quote you. Shit, sorry.
I agree though. As much as the casual attitude that prevails at the Slipway is really nice, especially when you're a noob and rules and regulations scare you, I agree that anarchy could easily set in and it would be a shame for us to lose the venue or someone get seriously hurt or killed because we didn't have a few simple rules about how to play nice and keep our noses clean. We are given a priveledge to race where we do, it's not a right, so the least we can do is to make sure we are good kids and play fair, makes it easier on Bayden too not to have to worry about what us naughty kids are doing in the pits while he is having fun trying to get a race or two in also and for the poor people who have to keep track of laps etc if people stick to their correct grade and don't join races half way through etc.

Without quoting Skunk and Trudes, I agree wholeheartedly.

UMMMMM... seems the problem is intiley your clubs, best you sort it as we have no such issues here what so ever... sounds like you need someone that can take charge, christ its easy as to remove unwanted riders... best you guys get on the case cos changing a name on KB wont do anything for your problems.

Actually I didn't do the title. And it was just that; a title. (You must have been really confused by "To Kill a Mockingbird"!)

As I replied to you elsewhere...
No old fella. You failed to follow ALL the discussion. He also said: "What else would you call it apart from miniature roadrace classes f4 and F5?" and on the discussion went. Or did your failing eyesight miss all that.

But you're right; we do need to sort 'our' 'club'. First we need a club! Second we need a membership. Steps are underway.
