It is with regret that I advise that Johann Bruns, defending Vic series F1 and F2 champion is taking a break from racing motorcycles effective immediately.
Allways the "Peoples Hero", Johann has made this very difficult descision after a lot of soul searching and reflection.
He wishes to thank the numerous people who have supported him for the past three years, most notably Tracey Keenan from Total Recycling in Taita, Wellington. Tracey has been, without doubt, Johanns most dedicated sponsor since day one. A top bloke and an avid motorcyclist, I don't think we can thank Tracey enough for getting behind an up and coming racer with a huge level of finnancial and moral support. This is exactly what the sport of motorcycling in NZ needs, more selfless backers, doing it for the love of the sport.
Also, Quay commercials of Wellington have offered a high level of support in recent times as have Xtreme Forwarding. Rick, Sheila and Steve, you are all awesome and we are forever gratefull.
Wellington Motorcycles, who gave Johann a leg up into the competition, are also to be commended. There is very little to be gained by supporting a road racer in NZ other than the fact that you're helping one person achieve their dream. Thankyou.
With a touch of sadness, I finally thank, on the Yo-Shows behalf, every single person who has attended a road race meeting. Without fans and spectators, there would be no racing at all. As Johanns biggest fan for the past three years, it's not easy for me to write these words.
And finally, I'd like to thank, The Peoples Hero, Johann Bruns. Through you, big guy, I have lived out my own dream to race at your level. You have been an inspiration and a "rock" to myself, Lena and our two daughters Eden and Lily. Thankyou for your friendship, your advice and your support.
You are, and will always be, my best mate.
Thanks for reading my ramblings folks, I need a beer.
