vtec loses his mind round 3 vmcc

Dude I don't know you from a bucket of slops tipped over my head, but don't let anyone else take that as a supposition of challenge.

I do understand the pressures of competition on different psychs though. Very competitive people live & breath & have to succeed at everything. Others like differing levels of competition. I'm not very competitive except in small doses.

I race buckets so I do recommend that to keep your hand in.

I found when I was a bit burnt out I went out trail riding with some mates. No more competitive than you cared to make it.

Then I bought a trials bike.

I didn't want to enter competitions as I had enough competition with the buckets, but I found just screwing around on that bike one of the most enjoyable times on a motorcycle. No pressure just fun.

From a non dirt background I found new ground, I started enjoying all my riding more. & my racing level came up as a by product.

Just a thought to put in there.
