Wellington Easter Buckets two-day meet

[grantnz]

I'm wandering if there is some merit for a members page something like:
http://ozbucketracing.com/members.html

so we can put names to faces or nicknames...

Looks like a bunch of old farts having fun, some on bigger bikes tho.

We could get a Trans Tasman challenge going??

think your bike could keep up with a crf150...? Im guessing theyre the liquid cooled mx engines.

my bike would eat it

but would not fit their rulez

- 111cc Air-cooled single cylinder 2 stroke
- 159cc Air-cooled 2 valve twin cylinder 4 stroke
- 175cc Air-cooled 3, 4 or 5 valve 1cyl. 4 stroke
- 200cc Air-cooled 2 valve single cylinder 4 stroke
- 85cc Water-cooled 2 stroke
- 159cc Water-cooled 4 valve single cyl. 4 stroke
- 185cc Water-cooled 2 valve single cyl 4 stroke


funny they think that 111 cc for a 2 stroke
and 200cc for a 4 poker is fair (how many 200cc 4 strokes get 30 hp ?)

seams they have been talking to Honda

Was refering to the CRF150R RB ( http://www.honda-motorcycles.co.nz/B...291/crf150r-rb ) not the old farm bike.

so that would fall under

- 159cc Water-cooled 4 valve single cyl. 4 stroke
- 185cc Water-cooled 2 valve single cyl 4 stroke


where we would have to change ours

111cc Air-cooled single cylinder 2 stroke
- 85cc Water-cooled 2 stroke

I recon Chambers gp100 at 22h/p (last years engine) would give it a run for it's money and be class legal

I think that you would get smoked x 10. They are fast and light and rev hard.

19kg engine and less h/p dont think so

now the riding ability might be a different story

[richban]

19kg engine and less h/p

19kg. Got to love MX engines. Thats 10 kg lighter than my FXR engine.

now i want to weigh one of the gp's

[TZ350]

now i want to weigh one of the gp's

21kg as measured on an old set of bathroom scales.

If I get a chance I will calibrate the scales with 20L of water. 20l = 20kg.

[F5 Dave]

minus the bucket, excuse the pun

I'm with you Richban, if a CRF150Rb is **** let them race, I'm keen to give one a go, only thing is.... NEVER go full retard

The way to do a trans tasman challenge would be to invite a bunch of them over here and loan them good bikes and then go over there and ride some of their bikes.

It is fraught with difficulties like getting enough bikes and the sheer cost but it could actually happen one day...

This conversation has poped up before. Speedpro looked into an option for stacking bikes into a container and shipping them over in the 90's (I think; I'm sure he will correct me).
The cost is not as bad as you would think; (one of my work mates shipped his racing boat over there before christmas; for some national series??)
