    Selling out

    i put this on my facebook a couple of weeks ago, but alot of people I deal with on here will not be on there,

    Big news, I have sold my half of Mr Motorcycles to Craig Brown, it's been a very cool 10 years in business with him, and I wish him the best for the future, I would like to thank all the staff that worked for us, customers that brought of us, riders that raced for us and communities that ran events with us for all the good times, i have made many friends though the years, thanks everyone and I am sure ill catch up with you for a beer soon.


    also to the kiwibiker community, this place has been good for interaction and i hope i help out people on here, i will still be around,

    if you think about it, its not hard to work out where i am going

    as a hint, it will be to the one of the roots of all evil, (according to some of the kiwibiker posters)

    You're becomming a monk?

    Best of luck with your new direction though Scott. You've put a lot into the sport, and that makes you a GC!

    Haha........it'll prob be a nice change working for someone else instead of the worries of ownership of a business.

    Kwak ain't doing too bad in the WSBK at the mo, so they can't be all that bad

    Good luck to ya

    Good work Scott, had a funny feeling a few months ago this was on the cards.

    MR have been doing great in your absense (not that they didn't while you were there) so you left them in good hands with Browny.

    You have to start somewhere in a new job and the Kawa wharehouse is quite big so by the time you finish sweeping the back half the front half will need re doing.
    Once your apprenticship is done sweeping then the boss may promote you to cafe assistant!!

    Oh, and could you do somework on a new KDX200 to meet the current market. Chew the big fella from Nippons ear will ya.

    Yep, I reckon you've got a bit on your plate for the next few years. Good luck.
