Hey again KB gang,
After doing the track day on Saturday (more like having a go for a few laps), I have realised that I will not be able to race my RS125 by myself and I will need to completly change my ways. It has become apparant to me that I will need a full time help in the pit. It's wonderful that a lot of you are wanting to help me but it won't really work unless you know exactly what to do. For me to do well out there, I really need atleast 1 or 2 other people to be my crew ready to do what is required instantly without me having to instruct for every thing and still have to worry about the every last detail.
So I have planed to train someone or 2 people maximum for everything that is required to do on the track.
Who I am looking for?
- Previous experience is not important.
- Someone friendly, down to earth and can stay calm and cool under preasure.
- Someone who can take instructions and react quickly.
- Someone who can have a free weeknight or two to go over the bike and disscuss plans through, the dates can be flexible depending on your availability.
- Someone who does not have any commitments during the race dates, which is obviously the most important thing!
Basically we'll be working really closely so I'd want someone who can be a mate (s) of mine (that's if we aren't already mates). This is because I will need to put in a lot of trust and faith in someone else to be doing some of the work for me, which can make the difference between winning and crashing out big. The last thing I would want is to have dissagreements and conflicts on the track side, so anyone who is easy to get along with is what I'm after.
What can you get out of it? I am really poor so I can't pay for the services but...
- If you are a newbie then you will specially have a lot to gain from all this.
- If you are interested in racing and how bikes work, doing this will help you learn and understand a lot more and hopefully get yourself racing as well if that's what you want.
- I can personally train your riding and pay special attention to the type of riding you want to do and spend time with you on road or track, so that you can be the next KB hot shot while being safe as houses!
- When the chance arises, I might let you ride my race bike (s).
- If you have any problems with your own bike, I can help you fix it in my workshop.
Basically if you are interested in motorcycles and are quite passionate about it, you will have loads of fun from this and if you want I can be your "mentor" as well.
If you are interested, you should send me a PM, asking me any questions that you would like to know.
