    Must have been the word 'Style' at the back of my mind.

    RULE:
    4.6 Be fitted with clip-on style bars (no MX, Motard, and Enduro or trail/dual purpose style of handle bars)

    Why would I just make shit up?

    Oooooh maybe I am an undercover MNZ agent here to try and catch you out. Good work. You have passed my test. You may now enter 'The League of Gentleman who Know the Rule Good Enough to Tell When Shit is Made Up'. The prestige has me overwhelmed.

Not everyone's an engineer and can make all the bits fit together in a reliable way when it comes to making do with whatever is laying around. Even IF 155 or 160cc engines come into play because thats the main stream engine for pit bikes there will always be the option of restrictions in carb size or whatever is easiest to regulate. Pit bikes on the F4 track will always have to conform to the traditional riding style to keep things sweet as we have seen in F3 in recent years.

    We actually had a class for Motard Pit bikes at, of all places... Waipawa! and regularly got 6-8 bikes turning up. So that in todays terms is $240-$320 worth of input to make our racing affordable.

    Regulate.... don't terminate.... the idea!

    I think there will be heaps of options for a legal cheap buckets in the future as there is now. Leaner bikes get crashed a lot remember. If people want to spend 1800 bucks on a mini motard then let them. But don't call it a bucket coz it isn't. The 155 / 160 engine size thing is irrelevant if the mini motard's are in there own class.

    In wgtn we have to bear in mind the vast majority of our races are with the karts so there isn't room in thier program for additional races. We get A & B class. Or just 'all in' if numbers are down.

    just to point that out for wgtn,
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    Did you just make that up?
    It just sounds like you made it up is all.


    Alright I've had my fun.
    Back to bickering about whether it's okay or not to lose an F4 race on an illegal bike.

    This is the bit where I post the picture of you standing by the stars & stripes with your little plaque.

    If auckland roads have taught me anything it is how to be a pushy arsehole.
    Just you wait until this weekend Dave. You and your fiddy don't stand a chance against me, the Lifan and my newfound disrespect for everyone around me.
