RS125 chassis should be banned!

[TZ350]

What about this bit of shamless technology. 2.5/3.5 17's, cantalever conversion, white power shock, RS forks, modified MB100 hand made (wobbly design no doubt) pipe, 28mm flatslide, all in a braced MB frame. Top bike at Mt Wellington ridden by one of the best and a real gentalman with it. Fast, good looking, talented, respected for a clean riding style. This has got to stop, ban it before young riders try to copy him.

Well if anythings up for a ban it's gotta be them two strokes. Noisey, smelly orrible things they are.....

Especially that one belonging to TZ350

A ban is only any good if you turn up

I said next year. Hopefully then I'll make it. On my way to getting a car licence and a full time job.

You know it would have been different if I had not managed such a good start. To make it a level playing field, we could ban good starts too. you looked good going past me into the infield, cranked over, knee down. I was gob smacked.

It has occurred to me that I have spent years thinking, planing, working and developing my bikes but have never really put the same effort into improving my riding, and I wonder why I was not improving. that's changed. Now I read plan and give it a try, but now that I'm going faster I find I get sea sick. Bugger!!!

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.

hear what your saying , you can apply that to most racing , as example HQ holdens .
the front car no one can catch usually has been re bored by doing this one can use the cam set allowable for the race and timing set up , but what they do is rebore the engine slightly off set to allow for degrees before top dead centre .
And be sides who remembers 2nd or third anyways , are you racing to win or racing for show .

Yep, old wobbler was watching us, she said you were gutted when I got past. But then you did get me back down the straight... But I'm working on that. It was a great race, no matter how we placed in the end.

Here's to Taupo then.

instead of banning this or that why not have a classic grade. i.e., pre 1980/90/00?

[Buckets4Me]

or how about an old farts race
ie over 50 years old
there are a few up here that would fit that class

and also, i'll have tuning, which i guess means i wont be allowed to race.

also, i should get pole pos. for the mt welly 2hr, because i crashed at the 50 lapper last year.

lol.

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.

I am with Trude's, building your own and riding it well is the way to go, its to my taste and interests. I can't knock the others though, because they all have good reasons for doing it their own way. Thing is they are all out there racing and I think thats the point of buckets. F5 Dave sure can write well.
