    Yep must be a real hard situation to be in mate, such a shame though seeing so much talent be put on hold.

    You'll get there one day mate!. When I win lotto soon I will buy your K5 and then give it back to you in exchange for a couple of large mischief's with hot chilli sauce. Deal?.....

    Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.

    No!

    What more can i say, i've given it everything i have and can, if anyone doubts how commited i've been, they can fuck themsleves, i've put close to if not more than $40,000 of my own money to get to where i am and get started, i just am not in the position to carry it on.
    Tyres are without doubt the biggest cost on the superbike, to be competitive you need to be on a new set for each race at national level, even with a great deal from Pirelli i was still looking at over $7000 just to get through nationals, and agian from my own pocket!

    A bit more planning and next season who knows, the K7 will be out, and Stroud was hinting at some changes to the rules in Superbike which would make it quite a bit cheaper to get into for people like me.

    I looked at doign just the North Island nats rounds and the streets but even still to get the bike to where i would want it for each race i would have to find $10,000, i can barely afford the $1500 odd i owe on tyres as it is now, $10.000 shit!

    Anyone that knows you bro definitely knows how much determination you have shown and how commited you have been.

    Just hope that things work out and you can get out there in the next couple of seasons. Someone's gotta give Stroudy the learn!.

    Besides what others think means stuff all - you know why you lay awake at night and why you made the decision you made, anyone who cares will be right behind you!

    So yeah, fuck 'em

    if its any consolation you can come back in your 40's and 50's like Paul and I did...
    "...New Zealanders, for all their faults, have virtues that are precious: an unwillingness to be intimidated by the new, the formidable, or class systems; trust in situations where there would otherwise be none; compassion for the underdog; a sense of responsibility for people in difficulty; not undertaking to do something without seeing it through - "

    You are a petrol head and will be back unless you become totally focused on MONEY

    Mate, you have proved to yourself and that is all that matters

    It is your decision so stick with it and live with it dude

    See you on the flip side

    PS Really good watching your determination so far
