RS125 chassis should be banned!

[bucketracer]

RS125 chassis should be banned! Along with Aprillia, other exotic imports and people who pay others to do all the work for them. And what about late model cantilever bikes, FXRs, FZRs etc., where the rider just fits good rubber and goes racing with a competitive bike, where is the spirit of bucket racing in that? Should we ban them to? Why not, they are usually really good riders who love to ride but not very interested in building a bucket. Should we ban really good riders? Make them ride around at some slower speed that I understand and can keep up with, don’t think so. Then there are the clever engineers who have the resources to turn a heap of s***t into something wonderful, should ban them too I guess, got to keep the playing field level, maybe not. My starter bike is 30 years old and I know who the real hero’s of bucket racing are, they are like Shellracing. Dream it, build it, race it, and look good doing it and forever pleasant and helpful. Reading the posts, the races I’ve seen, and the people I’ve meet are like that, pleasant, and helpful. They have dreamt it and are racing buckets in their own way. Me and Girdys with the water pipe frame from the 70’s just love it. If you can't be first come I recon.

I sense a waambulance call.

In my day they wanted to ban RG50s.

[Kickaha]

If anyone knows of an RS125 chassis pm me, I want to build a new bike

[nudemetalz]

That's it !!!

F5Dave,..you're banned !!!!

[Coyote]

If I strip my bucket down and paint it all bling like, will I be banned next year?

[Trudes]

Meh, just makes it more pleasurable when your heap of shit home built bucket is still running at the end of the race or beating the "took the glass off it and now I'm racing it" bikes that die at the first sight of a tight corner or shit weather.

[lostinflyz]

just make bucket racing a full contact sport i say. rs125 frames cant be that strong.

[Slingshot]

Yes, you will be. Sorry.

Then you'll have to give that bike to me

Ummm....it already is, just check out the start of any race at the slipway and you'll see what I mean.

The best presented Bucket in the South Island and possibly NZ is a RS125 framed MB100 powered weapon and was built for under $700 by a perfectionist. You don't just wack any old motor into a RS they need to be engineered in. FXR's are ok but not great, have a good look at them. Shit unadjustable non linkaged rear shock, puss forks, heavy. They're ok if you wan't to run mid pack or better if you spend some time and money on them. They're great if you dont have the time or money, or just have other things to do. I love my FXR 'cause all it needs is gas and some love every now and then and park it up between meetings and I spend time with my family.

If you want bikes excluded so you can run at the front of the pack on a old bike that is hard to get parts for and isn't going to get any easier, you better write to MNZ and submit some changes........somehow I think it will fall on deaf ears.

im imagining road rash style. 1950's (grease lightening) spikes off rims and chains and metal boots. +10 seconds per take down

Like Buddha#18 I agree with bucketracer the day is gone when you had to make your own bucket from a heap of shit to be a bucketracer although thats a nobel thing in itself. People ride different bikes for different reasons, all so they can get out there racing.

Let me see if I have got this right,

• RS125 chassis
• exotic imports
• people who pay others to do all the work for them
• FXRs, FZRs etc
• really good riders who love to ride but not very interested in building a bucket
• clever engineers who have the resources to turn a heap of s***t into something wonderful

Ok A few condradictions there

Then there is this statement that I am really struggling to get my head round,

.....they are like Shellracing. Dream it, build it, race it, and look good doing it and forever pleasant and helpful.....

cause for one you do realise that Steve is a pretty resoucefull guy that has built a few bikes and his current one is a FXR powered FZR, so would be banned on at least two of your above statements and I dont even want to start naming others on that list cause I woould be afraid of offending the people that I left off, and two, the look good doing it statement, hmmm well

So to summerise I think this is a pretty dam good wind up and you shouuld get your arse down to Mt Welly tomorrow and introduce your self, I will be the guy on the FXR in the horificly colured red and yellow leathers

[Buckets4Me]

[Mrs Busa Pete]

maybe we could have a lemonze start followed by 20 people pushing there bikes around the track for 12 laps then all bikes are equall only my fxr got pased by a light weight on a 50cc 2 strock may be we should add weights to light weights so i can run at the front
