Hi Ya

I fluked a win man- woo hoo

Unfortunately that may be he end of the season for me now, as I cannot find any financuall help to race here and have now run out of cash myself, after buying my own bike and all the stuff that is required to race it competitively.

My motor is totally standard, Just a race pipe on it!

No power commander nothing, just stock standard as any other road bike is

Yup, I was there and I saw you win. Fuppin outstanding effort mate. You seemed pretty much on it from what I saw - no nana stuff goin on there.

We were cheering you on against that big bad RC8 and were stoked when you came through...in order to finish first, first you must finish, eh!!

Hope you can come up with the $$$ to keep going, getting back to the TT just two years after your off, would be the comeback story to beat them all.

. I've sent a message back to the rock on the tom-toms.

If I win Lotto, you're right up there in terms of where the dosh goes.

On, on as they say.

I don't know about fluking it. You seemed to be riding pretty competitively from where I was sitting.

Regarding the finances, have you considered doing the public speaking thing? You have a pretty good story to tell and I'm sure there are plenty of people around NZ who would pay to hear you tell your story. Seems to attract the punters to Gareth Morgan's presentations, though admittedly Gareth is also selling his financial skills.

In the longer term how about putting your story to paper. Takes a bit more organising I imagine but Aaron Slight's story for one was a worthwhile read, and again Gareth's books seem to sell well.

Just a thought. Best wishes for your return to IOM
