    We're semi-professional now!

    Sloan and i have been doing a fair bit of background work for LG and trying our damnest to get more exposure out there, (with limited time and money i might add) you folks have been the best in supporting our cause it really helps even logging onto the LG website and writing blogs and stuff ( big thank you to Shaun Harris) cos he wrote to LG, they were very impressed, they said no one has ever done this... so in short , We may have got the Sponsorship... but you guys made it work for us.. really !!!

    Im also pleased to annouce.. we, the team..(Sloan,Jimmy and i) as of today have a factory backing us...
    We are to take delivery of Bugden's and Strout's bikes in about 3 to four weeks in time for the winter series !!!
    thsi along with an array of a heap of other goodies Suzuki have thrown in.. like spare "hot"engines and spare parts etc.
    In short Suzuki liked what we represented and were prepared to back us and even though they are 07/08 bikes they will be highly competitive in the upcoming winter series and nationals....

    So a big thank you to Suzuki... and cheers guys for your input !!

    Christ on a kawasaki!

    I'm......but......how......when......awww, just give 'us a hug ya big ugly bastard!

    What a fan-bloody-tastic result for all your hard work fella's. And it was through hard work too mate, no-one has "given' this to ya, you've earned it. Rest assured Suzuki will be getting great value for money, you've raised the bar for privateers.

    Congrats, I'll toast your success with a double strength red cordial in the mess tonight. (walks off shaking head, still gobsmacked......)

    Congrats on the professional deal! Good skills.

    You need a young rider too. I'd suggest Sketchy Racer...
