Mate of mine was one of those Air Force lads...

You have mates???

Their old bikes made out of bits and peices, trust me they are aptly named with the word..BUCKET.
They are not pretty, they are not nicely restore, usually cheap old dungers put together from bits and peices of other bikes,they are not road worthy, they are badly painted,if at all painted, they need constant maintenance:

Not necessarily, while some buckets are as you explained theres a lot that aren't, from water cooled RG400 barrels laced onto a GP100 bottom end to highly tuned MB100's in GP frames, turbos and street going FXR's... its all bucket racing.

where does the name bucket come from?

I've been waiting for it to happen, but it looks like a pipe dream now.

[TygerTung]

Why won't it happen?

Yeah Ohakea & esp the GP there. Ahhh, the good old days. Club days were $2 entry fee to help pay postage.

Sheesh, listen to the old bugger!

I started racing there '89 but had been going for quite some years before. The fields were big, they ran 50s, & often 2 classes A&B of 100s + sidecars. Heck I remember seeing at least a dozen chairs in a race. First year in the 50s GP & I got 13th. I was chuffed as we got a product prize down to 13th. I've done every GP since. Only DaveD in Auckers has done more I believe.

Man we need to get something off the ground again in wgtn. Really hanging out for a race & my F4 will be ready soon. No really.

Buckets started at Woodbourne. A few that were in on it at the start were Jim Steadman (who has won more Ohakea GPs than just about everybody else put together) Pete Sales, Warwick Snow (alias-Otang), John Faithfull (alias-Maryanne (Faithfull)) the Wood brothers, the list goes on.

Various buckets I've seen - Kwaka100 powered hub-centre steering chassis, 3 supercharged Honda 100s, uniflow 100cc 2-stroke engined bucket, just about anything with a water jacket added, full crankcase reed conversions, full piston-port conversions, a billet cylinder head for a Honda 125 but I never did see that going, Suzuki twin with two motocross ignitions,the second one belt driven. Again the list goes on.
