Bear in mind, at the end of the season, riding a seriously un competitive machine, Choppa was only six points back on Craig.

.

True,however 2 DNFs at Levels,unfortunately only 9/10 riders per race,the points system doesnt really show an accurate account of what happened,Rhys was only 9? off choppa yet really didnt get near him,not down south anyway.

Shame we didn't get to see you in action up here mate, we could have done with a few more Honda's handin' out the buckets of whoop ass.

Congrats Ed this is awesome for you guys and i agree you and your crew and setup looked pro anyway.
Just goes to show that if you act like it its only a matter of time before you get it.
All the best for the rest of 09 you guys are deserving and im sure it takes a lot of pressure off.

What's the difference between a Privateer and a Professional? I didn't realise there were any 'real' professionals in NZ

Anywho, bloody great to see you guys doing so well for yourselves! I have to admit I am a little envious

Serious question though..

Where is the biggest difference between say

1. A 'factory rider'
2. A 'factory/dealer supported rider etc'
3 A 'self suppoted rider own bike with industry deals'

Out of the above what is a privateer for clarification purposes?

A pro is generally one who is paid to do their work. I was a semi pro once lol, for the pittance it was worth. Mostly due to small population here in NZ.

I'd say anyone fairly heavily sponsored is a semi pro. Full professionalism is when you give up your day job.

The LG Team present an air of professionalism and I hope more can do the same to lift the sport as a whole.
