    I guess it started at dirt bike riding when I was 3 years old and wentr through motocross for a while with some sucsess at club level, we never raced Nationals as we had no money. Didnt do much bike racing at all for a few of my teenaged years then got in the bucket scene at maybe 16-17years old and that got me hooked on tarmac racing fo sure

    some sense in there but Rossi's Daddy was a GP rider, think that helped a bit, bit like Kenny Roberts Junior...

    Does that answer your question cowpoos you dickhead

    plus Dennis Charlett and If I can find a list of previous winners to confirm a few things I think can probably add another 2-3 at least

    the last three or four 125 champs all still have and currently race buckets! theres even a guy thats raced in the AMA that still climbs on a bucket.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    125 ain't a race bike, its a cross dressing chainsaw...so dont count.

    The only reason you say they don't count is you're to much of a fat cunt to fit on one

    They're the only proper race bikes that are still currently racing in this country

    I remember a couple of years back your old man turning up at one of our VMX meets with a trailer full of what I thought at the time was old junk for sale.
    He pulled off the back of the trailer what looked like an XR framed Suzuki engined KX'd suspended rat bike that was ready for the tip.
    He then proceeded to whip the arse off of all of us and then packed up early saying he had to get home before the missus found out coz he was under doctors orders not to ride.

    If that's true then your mum must weild one mean fucken sewing machine.

    South Island bucket racers that are NZ champions
    Cam Horgan, Cam Jones, Andy Evans, Johnny Small, Dennis Charlett, Alastair Hoogenboezem, Jake Lewis, Tim McArthur, Andy Bolwell, Seth Devereux.
    If you added NZ titles (includes TT GP etc) there would be a heap more.
    And add a few few honorary Southerners, Sam Smith, Karl morgan
