Just as long as he hasn't lost his marbles......oh hang on, he's bucket racing a scooter.....
Thanks Jono, I'm busy building a hanger for my rear caliper which is proving to be a lot more difficult than first expected. I'll give you a yell later.
EDIT - Don't have enough materials to finish the hanger so will have to opt out unfort.
Prob come out though to have a looksie.

Well, I am still working very hard on the bucket and it is nearly done. Just a little more lathing to go! I won't be able to make it to buckets today. I just got home from town, and I am sorry to say that the weather is HORRIBLE!!! Windy as hell and wet. Not that cold though. But good luck to all you brave bucketeers! Wish I was out there, even in this crap.
sorry i couln't make, am not well. and the thoguht of standing around waving a flag... not good if i want to work tomorrow...
what a ride so far!!!!
Sooo, how'd it go?
"Some people are like clouds, once they fuck off, it's a great day!"
It was wet and windy, 8 riders turned up, we did a warm up session then two points races, it cleared up and we cleared off.
I turned up to watch and everyone was gone except for 3 keen riders!
Awesome riding by Andrew, Richard and Adrian on a semi wet track and then for the next race it was dry!! Man I wish I could've been out there but it was still cool to at least watch. Especially watch a few crashes aye guys? Glad they weren't too painful, but they were certainly funny! Nice to know I am not the only bloody one that eats the tarmac.
I hope to make the next round. A bit of a disastrous trip back from Taupo for us. Spent part of the night on the desert road and the rest in Wairoru. We're home but the vans still in Wairoru. Might be expensive...
I really enjoyed today. It did not rain once when we were on the track and before lunch the track was completely dry. Ended up doing 5 race's with the last one a 15 or 16 laper. Both Andrew and I did a good job of ploughing the grass at high speed no damage to bikes or riders. Gotta love that nice and soft grass. Would have been good to see more people out.
I have some footage of the day I will post when I get a mo.
