I'm not sure where you get the knocking machine from out of my post,Short of the fact I thought you would be better off approaching the funding differently,As far as the Moto 3 /250 mono thing goes,Yeah to you and I its incidental,But to a corporate its confusing and off putting,To them its like,Wait a minute in paragraph 1 its a Moto3 bike but down in paragraph 5 its a super mono.Pretty sure my post ended with,Good idea,Right peeps and good foresight ????
As far as the unemployment for 3 years goes,Well thats something only you can deal with,Sure you might have plenty of education and possibly could earn a million dollars a year if you could find a job in that area,But you can't and if you really wanted to make this thing work,You'd be shovelling shit or flipping burgers at Mc Ds to make it happen,Not expecting the peeps that do those jobs to fund it for you,Not knocking the idea,Just saying it as I see it,Good luck
