    Sniff sniff, no more ride for me.

    Unfortunately the awesome guys that were sponsoring me to ride their bike, are no longer in a position to do so. Times being as tight as they are mean the money just isn't there to run two bikes.

    I owe these guys big time for their support and the opportunity, I just wish I could have done better for them. I sincerely wish them and Vicki all the best with their racing, and hope they get to relax a bit now that I wont be wrecking their bike anymore.

    I'm not out yet though, I still have the RGV, and I'll be spinning that wee critter round every track I can afford to get to in F3 and F2 at club rounds, as fast as I can.

    So if you've got any bits for a post '91 RGV lying around, gizza shout since I wanna turn it into the best I can.

    Cheers heaps Kerry, Rob, Anglo American, and everyone else that helped out. You guys are awesome.

    Sorry to hear that, fella. I’ll miss trying (and only trying) to catch that black Duc.

    RGV should be great fun though, kick some arse!

    Cheers all, one door closes an' all that.

    I'll keep racing as long as I can, and hopefully give some people a real scare when an RGV comes by. It aint well set up though, so I'll keep my goals realistic for now.

    Sorry to hear this mate!

    Watching you on the black Ducati has always been a big inspiration to me!
    I'm sure you riding the RGV will be as good to watch!

    Good luck!

    Cheers

    Sorry to hear about this bud, but you are still out there racing (which is the most important part).
    Go like the clappers and just maybe someone, right place / right time, will see you and another sponsorship may occur!

    Good luck bro!

    Bummer buddy. I'd like to help out by sponsoring your C-spanner so you can sort the suspension out! Will you let me do that?
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    Sorry to hear mate.

    Good luck in finding more sponsorship. In the meantime, take it out on the RGV.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
