What should I buy?

[Motoracer]

I am 25 but feel too old to give racing another proper go... + I already know I aint going to be the next best thing so it would mean a lot of money gone in - just for fun. Although it is worth it, I still have to consider the girlfriend and the life together etc etc So the mean as ZX6R race bike that is up for a super deal is not looking too attracktive. Although it would be cool to check out the German racing scene..

OR

I can pull good wheels and stoppies and given the lack of fear of mucking up a nice bike, I belive I can progress quickly in stunting. I can do super long manuals + circle wheelies etc on the Mountain bike too + I am comfy on a unicycle like a clown. So there is a CBR 954 minter track biker for sale at €3000 (which is supre cheap for here) which just needs a cage and a 12 bar, till I go stunting. additional costs? A van or a trailer required. Then there is the EURO stunt championship that is heald about 200 kms away from me in Hockenheimring (which is the next best thing after stunt wars in the US), so I could aim for that in 2011. Even though I can't hope to be the next best thing in racing, maybe I can do something on a stunt bike? who knows.. the suspence is more exciting ATM.

OR

A nicer, newer, faster road bike. In Germany, people are anal about road riding and even though I am 10 X safer, mature etc etc than 2 or 3 years ago, people still think I am a nutter by German standards. So even in the small comunity of "fast sports bikers", I cant fit in.. The racers here strictly stick to the track and ofcourse normal road riders can't understand the level of riding of even an ex has been racer. Bonus with a road bike? I can at least ride on the Nürburgring Nordschleife and it is only possible with a road bike (or road car). This is with out a doubt the most fun I have had since I tried Germany's best roller coaster. So there are 2004-2006 ZX10s avail with in budget as well as K5 - K6 Gixxer thou. I would only go for either of these two.

OR

Fuck bikes. I might as well buy a nice cage by getting a loan and being irrisponcible one more time before having kids, buying a houce etc etc. There are a few European beauties around that I had previously only dreamed about in NZ but now I could very barely manage to afford it through some heafty bank loans. but its physically possible. theoretically.

The 954 is nice... It still looks good and goes good. hmmm I dunno... I am just wanting a change. What would you do? (BTW, I would first of all sell my 954 and then decide on 1 of the above or maybe something completly different! Like keeping the cbr and getting a motard as well...) I dunno. I would still call my self financially tight/struggeling so I def don't have money to throw but at the end of the day, I am just a boy who needs his toys and also to have fun playin with em.

Bro, I don't know what you should do but if it involves buying another fucken Honda I'll kick your arse in January.

Also, don't wanna diss your skilz, but JAson mentioned when we were filming him for CDS II that he'd been practicing virtually every single day to get to where he was then, and he was nowhere near cirlces at that stage. A year and a half is probably not a realistic goal for competion readiness. I'd think more like three years I reckon.

Especially as you'll spend a fair bit of time having skin grafts if your last efforts are anything to go by :D

If for you bike racing or just buying a nice town car sit on the same level, you might as well go get married, plonk the 2.5 kids, buy an MPV to carry them around and spend all the remaining money (if you have any left :D ) on your wife's shoes and your kids toys. This way at least you'll be in line with the general public. :Pokey:

You get to ride around the Nurburgring? That one! any day of the week, regardless of options.

Bro, this time round if I getting into stunting. I wana do it proper and not just half arse it. I would first and foremost of all learn to park a 12 and then do slow speed shit. I think thats the key, rather than just squidding it. 1.5 years or 3 years, I might as well get started but I am still undecided on what I should REALLY do!

Yep, I just realised that I finally hit 1/4 life crises. I think you are not far from the truth and thats the scarry part!! :crazy:

I agree with you bro. I always told people the 3 main reasons for me to come to Germany were:

1) German girl that I followed
2) Great carreer advancement
3) The one, the only, the Green Hell from Nürburg. It is the Nürburgring Nordschleife!! I think have strong tendency to also lean towards this option again. That way I get a small piece of all worlds. Trackdays, few wheelies/stoppies etc. But I am still not 100%. Hmmmm...
