    Well im pretty sure M1 would be keen to supply him with a ready to roll superbike. I have mentioned it to him but he wasnt keen.

    It would have to be for love initially but he would pick it up so fast and with all his contacts he would be able to get a ride in the AMA or similar in no time!

    what he has done to himself over the years is pretty major, do not know what he ever did to derserve all of this

    Look I don't know him at all but if he is continually busting himself up isn't he over riding??
    He could knock 2% off and still finish first. Specially in the NZ champs,

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    Yeah but at the level he and those guys ride at mate...a disaster is often only a split second away even if it ain't your fault.

    They simply won't win if they don't go that hard all the time.

    I dunno mate going so hard you stuff yourself up for the future (its not like this is the first time) doesn't make sense but I take your point.

    Sorry BT just my 2c??? I really do hope you get better asap. And was looking forward to following progress on the international stage

    Exactly, just look at the number of guys left in the AMA SX 450s, was shaping up to be one of the best championships ever, but injuries have already made it the RV show again.

    It's just how it is at that level mate. Same goes with road racing. You're constantly one highside away from hospital food all the time.

    It wasnt too long ago that RV was laid up for the best part of the season with a broken leg

    Apparently it wasnt even much of a crash, crashing is a part of racing. More often than not if you try cruising on the last lap you end up crashing. Sometimes your lucky sometimes your not. He wouldnt be where he was if he didnt push those limits. Absolutely destroying the competition as he has is a very good physiological advantage going into the AMA series and those guys would have been watching.

    If your a trail rider by all means take it easy
