    Hi guys

    Check out Bucket Racing NZ 'resources' page and as for a bike see Trudes. Try to get to Kaitoke on the 15 March as we'll have time to chat (combined with Karts that day)

    Sooooo much fun!!! Definitely come along on the 22nd to Kaitoke. I have a bucket for sale and if she's ready by then and you're interested I can bring her along for you to have a try if you like. My blog has details of the bucket (her name's Pamela).

    Yeah, bowling along and saying hi is probably the best place to start.
    See you there.

    Another good Wellington bucket for sale here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...&postcount=341

    xl125s powered. Good beginner bike, would need more nylon for Kaitoke. Would be competitive in B grade, A with a good rider and lots of luck. It falls into F4 class.

    I'll have a spare bucket there if you want to have a turn.
    Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.
