[Tony.OK]

Here here...............whatever anyone else says Ed, ya have left your mark in a very short space of time, extra races, TV spots, helped Sloan go international, etc..................Thanks bro!!

Giz a go on that bike before ya sell it too

He clearly hasnt told most of you the truth or full story, Eddie has brought a KTM560smr Motard , he like so many has seen the light.

I've seen a few racers in this position, I have been there myself.
Racing starts as fun, then it gets competitive, then it gets expensive, then the presure is on to perform well while everyone wants to beat ya.
The expense keep increasing, end result is too much presure and racing is not fun anymore.
I gave up racing for 15 years and have just got back into Posties and am determined to keep it as "just fun" and avoid the old traps as above.
Hopefully some time off will see ya right and then come back for the fun of the sport we all love.
All the best for the future and good luck with the sale.

Aaaaaaaaah the beauty of being blardy hopeless, no-one expects fuck-all, ya give 'em fuck-all and ya have a ball doin' it..........come to think of it that sounds disturbingly like my sex-life.....

Peoples priorities change, interests change, risk/return equation changes...it's just life., but ya will be missed fella.

For mine I'll miss havin' all the chicks around, the good lookin' rooster drew 'em like flies to poo.....er, that didn't quite come out right.....

[White trash]

Good on ya Ed, as I told you yesterday mate, I'm behind ya 100%.

There's a lot to be said for getting out of it while you still can, I don't miss the shit one bit mate.

[ArcherWC]

Mate you have been saying it for ages, good on you for staying and helping the sport/Sloan for so long.

Time to get a dirt bike now mate, have some fun :-)

[JayRacer37]

Oh Ed. It won't be the same

Good on ya for making the choice for you. As everyone has said, I hope we still see you around the tracks.

Jay

[Frenchy]

Stink i had the most fun ever battling with you on your old bike!! (couldn't keep up with your new one!) like every one has said wont be the same with out you mate!

[scrivy]

Ed hasn't told you buggas the truth!!

Come on Ed, tell it like it is...................



He really wants to go classic sidecar racing!!!!! $6000 buys you one hell of a fun machine, and only $1000/year running expenses!!!! You simply cannot get better value for money than that!!

[Sidewinder]

in all my time on bikes and at the track im still waiting to see someone hang up their boots! far mine are always on the floor under my leather in the carboard, or is it just a saying that im to young to understand?

[wharfy]

As John Wayne would say " A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do..."

[Sidewinder]

As John Wayne would say " A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do..."

[Toast]

Sad to hear, Ed, was always good sharing the track and the pits with ya. All the best with whatever takes up ya time now though, and hopefully we’ll still see ya at the track holding Sloan’s brolly

. But PLEASE stay involved in the sport, It's not mine to say but thank you for what you have done for the sport in such a short time, ie bringing LG to motorcycle racing and the stuff you have done for the winter series and of course your help with me trying to find sponsorship. See you at the track I hope!

+1 Thank you for all that you have done to promote Road Racing ( probably more that mnz in the same time )
