KZ survives 5 rds, 200kmph crash.

[kickingzebra]

The end of my nationals effort for the year. What can I say, Survived a hell of a lot, wet qualifying, dry races, hot races, windy days, sea spray, a 200kmph crash, sickness, dehydration, mechanical issues, crash damage...

Wow. It is reeeal easy to spend a hell of a lot of money chasing this sucker!!

Have met some awesome people, had some bloody good times, learned a hell of a lot about the highs and the lows of racing.

I will continue, stick with it, and do the damn well best I can.
That has to be the goal of racing, you aren't racing anyone else really, it is only you and the track.

Foremost thanks must go to my wife, friend and race manager, the wonderful lady Bronwyn. She has allowed us to spend a very significant chunk of money buying race bikes, gear, tools, trailers, and travelling to all of these events, has looked after both me, and our cute little girl, Sarah, who has been great, so far spending nearly half her life at or near race tracks!! Bron is one of the big inspirations for me every time I go out on the track, A to race well, and cleanly, and B, to bring it back in one piece. Thanks my love, you mean the World to me.

Creator of all, without whom racing would not be possible, Glory or no glory, win or lose, joy or grief, my thanks goes to him.

Thanks to my worthy opponents, good bastards the lot of ya,
and the guys who have helped me out, in no particular order, and if I missed you, sorry, not as easy to remember all the names as I first thought it might be!!
