Battle of the Buckets Ruapuna, 8-9 September

[dangerous]

I'd hit you up for a bed for the weekend, but being a breeding factory now I think I'll try my luck elsewhere.

If we come down that is.

FUCK OFF... NO more breeding here man, little darryl is very happy to stay in hi jocks for a very long tiime...
and ya more than welcome to stay, we are now 20mins from the track and thats all at 100kph so a wee way outish.

I'm not sure I want to ride on something that's been intimate with Drew I will end up looking like an amateur.

I barely touched it! Highside, land on back, bounce off track.

I guess I could put some bikes out of the garden shed into the garage and you could sleep out there

You're generous to a fault mate.

[Drew]

Skunk, could you pencil me in for a spot in the truck? I can't commit right now but I'm keen as a bean.

In that case, I'm in. Hope it's snowing.

[Drew]

I've done a bit of snow riding, I will still go out if it does.

[Skunk]

Update: Looking at going down Thursday with the bikes and back Monday.
Make sure you email race@vicclub.co.nz to get your booking done - DON'T post here and expect it to happen.

Oh, and I'll need a place to stay I guess. I have a bed in the truck but that's it.

[Skunk]

This might benefit from it's own thread? Will be great to get down there with a good VMCC/Welly representation. Might have to upgrade my licence I s'pose.

Done.



And 10 chrs if that's still needed.

[Yow Ling]

You only need a club license or a day license

[Clivoris]

Choice news. Saves a few dollars.

FUCK OFF... NO more breeding here man,

I got a sharp axe and a nice malt ....

OK, looks like there have been a couple of changes to the entry for the main BoB endurance race. It has been decided to limit the entry to 40 bikes, and also entry will be dictated by prelim race results, with a qualifying cutoff set at 120%. This means in a 5 lap sprint if you are lapped by the race leader you may not qualify to race the main Endurance event.
Not too sure that I agree with these changes but apparently thats what has been decided.

How many people get passed in a 5 lap race by Matthew HOr Nick Cain now? If its half the field then that will never work.

[gav]

Depends how many turn up I guess, occasionally they catch me at last corner and there are usually quite a few behind me. Seems a massive over reaction due to one guy in his second ever event getting knocked off by someone who made a poor decision on how he was going to pass the rider in front.
