Mini-motard for bucket racing?

[F5 Dave]

I am. Hence my point. Why call it buckets anymore?
.

Well gee this is a hard one. It was called Miniature road racing by MNZ in the late 80s & later F4 & F5. So it isn't called buckets officially.

Nah I am thinking more sand sprints.
I have plenty of bikes already - just need a set of knoblys and I am good to go. Get my arse kicked, but have a shit load of fun.

Good well piss off to the Dirt section of so we don't have to put up with the moaning.

'course I live there too, but that's my dirty little secret.

If some one wants a cheap entry to buckets I have an YB100 sitting out the back. $250. I had the time of my life on it before I started building another bike to move up into A grade. Cheap start point and a shitload of laughs.

...and that is what it will ALWAYS be known as.

You overlooked Tuning and Engineering skill ...... and its importance is definitely ahead of the Budget just like it has always been.

Your 100% correct. Why call it buckets anymore?

Whats your point, Buckets has always been about skill ahead of budget, has always been from the get go I expect.

My first bucket an AC50 cost heaps of TimTams and a few beers. I scrounged nearly everything or someone chipped in and helped. Even way back then me and a few others were being accused of cheque book racing and ruining it for everyone. Always makes me laugh when I hear that sort of accusation. The new(ish) bucket has cost a bit but has been built over 6-7 years, maybe more. On a $/year scale it's way down low.

I figure my Bucket development has cost me in $$$ about the equivalent of two packs of ciggies a week over five years and hundreds of hours of work, certainly much more work than money.

Yeah the budget side of bucket racing is getting scary, my two biggest expenses, petrol for the van and beer.

You should prob add port to that list too....

Yeah should probably have said alcohol instead of beer but that might give people the impression that we spend more time sleeping in tents and drinking when we are away than racing.

Yes that Capri should do well...

So i could race this but a 150 2 valve dirt bike made in china for a few hundred dollars is unacceptable?
