Bucket requirements?

[Shorty_925]

hmmmm, desicions,

keep the hornet AND get a bucket,

turn the hornet into a track bike

or ditch the hornet and get a different track bike.

Fark it'll be a sight my 6foot 2 frame on an FXR or similar

Im 6'4, its all good fun.

6'4" sturdy and fast! Are you using standard springs? What oil # in front?

[Shorty_925]

Yep standard all around, havent even opened the forks to see what is inside them. Dont even know what shock is up to, just hit the start button and go! Maybe one day I'll get around to it...

yeah those forks look bottomed out in Shorty's pic (on most bikes last bit can't be used). Off the brakes at that point of the corner one would think so stiffer springs would be a useful improvement.

You forgot to add 4 ft wide when he's got his knees and elbows out, its like trying to pass a high speed B Train.

Sheesh, some people treat motorcycling as if it were some kind of hobby

What? The only true religion?

Maybe I should try and lean off the bike more and lead with my head, maybe able to get to 5ft wide!

I can load up the front enough to drift the back in on a couple of corners at Roys Hill and was doing it at Mt Wgtn at the pit corner going anitclockwise, its not faster just ALOT of fun, I need another motard again...

I have RG3 valving and Eibach springs in my YZ and that makes a big difference compared to stock springs and vavling, maybe I should get my a into g and get some springs for them forks.

I have had the forks lower than that, theres about another 2 or 3cm to go, havent had the number board hitting the mudguard yet.

haha well height doesn't seem to be an issue, managed to get the missuses approval

"So long as it's safe" she says haha, anythings safer than the average intersection in Auckland.

Definately going to come and have a look as soon as I can!

18th and 19th December, bring your riding gear and look me up.
If you are planning to turn up let me know which day in the week before in case we decide only to do one day.

We have a neat little CBR 125 all set for racing. It's done one season and is very competitive in the right hands. Let me know if you want to see some pics and we'll load it onto Trademe again.

Very tempting! I have to get some funds in order for a bike first so it may not be until early next year, but if you could flick some pics to my my email address or in the thread I'll definitley keep it in mind!

And just in your own interest maybe you should put it on the online trading section of the forum? Might generate a bit more interest!
