    No offence.

    I wont need luck, Skill is what will do it. But your right I have only been on the 600 for just over a week now and I wont ride it again untll the 14th. Hopefully the new tyres and rear shock spring make some diffrence.

    I am going down with chris sorry dude.

    Luck does exist in Motorsports. Hate it or love it, it's there. Ideally you wan't to be in control and not depend on good luck. Good luck for you would be, me getting a crap start or falling off or what ever in your advantage. This is where your skill level wasn't the only factor for your final achivement.

    You have natural talent. Not denying that. Skill, you need more... With time (judging by the pace you learn at, you won't need much at all), anything is possible.

    As for you going down with Chris, fine.. Be a bitch!

    The harder you work and the more preparation you put in the "luckier" you get

    following this thread with interest.

    Will be interesting to see how well i run next year on my 60-70,000km bike that i commute on, racing on 2nd hand tyres.

    you got the goods bro, it'll get easier once you have some results and can round up some sponsors so you can spend more time practicing and improving.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Why would I want to do that?
