my profile pic has my bucket.. #76 oh yeah! right before i stalled it!

Panic sets in as the Lion approaches . Those leathers are cool dude.

[CM2005]

cheers, someone wanted to buy them! After i crashed, this guy came up and said he was waiting for a lion too.. haha. now i need a road race lid, so i can get a cool safari custom paintjob... racing stripes? i just noticed im the only one wearing moto boots.

and the rider is fast too.

I may need some then.

Waaaaaaah I want a bucket!

Can you use custom frames? I.e., design your own? Or is that against the `old crappy commuter' rule?

Yeah mate, My MB frame was built in 77 to replicate the Honda MT Grand Prix bikes of that time... tyger Tungs is home built aswell and based around a RG50, do what ya like with a rolling chassie.

[CM2005]

build one! I'll sell you my old XL100 that goes if you persuade it, and you can put a 185 barrel on it, with 4valve 250head and cam and it will be 150cc!

Or wack a Turbo on it and actually get it going


Mynes a Homebuilt

Its a AX engine with a Aprilia chasssis with Ivan Juggins suspension tuning on hand and wacked some valve springs in to stiffen the forks up


Its about gettign out there and doing it in the shed I reckon


Go hard

[F5 Dave]

Home built is when you build the frame, not just do a transplant.

As for the "Ivan Juggins suspension tuning" do you realise that you have actually made the spring rate softer by doing that?

Don't believe me? Ask at Tech, or do a google on spring formula. The increase in preload has fooled you into thinking you've made it stiffer, but you have increased the number of live coils.

Hehe I really am becoming increasingly enamoured with this bucket thingie. And I've always wanted to build my own frame -- maybe it's time to borrow my Uncle's welder and learn to weld?

Wideline featherbed bucket bike here I come!

2" galv pipe is easy to come by from your local school playground.

I have to agree with Dangerous.
I race for the fun of it.
Yes my partner is a little more competitive than me, but that's ok.

Here's out two bikes and we have as much fun on them as we do our big bikes.
Granma's bike (GS125) is knicknamed 'The banana". I wonder why?

Steve's is called 'The Turbo'. A Honda 125Twin.
