Year 1 was piece of cake!

Hey Jay. I'd have a hard time seeing you fit on a 125 bro. Those things are stupid small...

**BMFR6** · 08-01-08, 05:48 PM

sonofa..... that reminds me i never got to ride it. You were my shot at getting out on a 125.

**SilverDragon** · 08-02-08, 07:36 PM

Doh. So after talking to Carrie and seeing a bunch of you guys at Geno's reception... I'm on the fence. If I can make it work, I'll do 125gp on sundays only. Maybe Saturday practice too because its included. Bah. I feel like an addict. Its actually scary! Don't worry Mark, I still have the bike.

**eboos** · 08-03-08, 06:30 PM

It's good to hear that you may be sticking with it.

**Kurlon** · 08-03-08, 06:37 PM

Raise some cash; cornerwork Saturday, rent out the RS, then use the funds to race Sunday.

Thank goodness.... You looked way to sexy in that crew shirt to just walk away.

**SilverDragon** · 08-04-08, 07:35 AM

add that to the hotdog buns in my shirt pocket and its a magazine cover shot for sure.

the bike has been sold already. I hated to, but it had to be done. Bitter sweet, but my wallet sure thanks me for it.

**BMFR6** · 08-04-08, 03:07 PM

as much as it sucks to say Neal, you made the right choice. formula 40 here we come.

That sucks man...but on a good note you got to experience racing. Some of us have dreamed about it for 15+ years now and haven't even done a trackday, let alone take it a step above that. I've had a number of people tell me "you belong on the f'n track" and I reply with "buy me a race bike and pick up the tab through the season" but that never happens.

So maybe someday you'll be back. Maybe someday I'll be there for the first time...who knows.

**Paul_E_D** · 08-04-08, 03:21 PM

Tough decision, but money stress added to racing stress is a lot to take on.

You got to ride a "real" racebike.

**Daytona440** · 08-04-08, 03:27 PM

bummer Neal, but it sounds like it's for the best...

still down for a Gap Trip in 09?

haha, i hear ya

**daviid** · 08-04-08, 04:06 PM

wow that was fast. hope to see you at the track this weekend though

**SilverDragon** · 08-04-08, 10:46 PM

Yeah, I'll up for Gap 09 for sure. If I had it to do again, I wouldn't change a thing for sure. I'd consider another 125 again, but an SV is eligible for more classes... of course, all I need to do is race the 125GP class to feed the habit.. and as Mark pointed out at Geno's party, I never broke into the 19s with it. Bah! Too bad the 250GP bikes aren't eligble for more classes, the look like a hoot! I'd like to stress that this is a break, not an end. My weedwhacker still runs on old C12+A747 premix, so I'll have vivid flashbacks whenever doing yard work.

I'd like to thank Jamie for getting me to do a TTD and eventually to race, and Paul for the guidance on bike choice and allll the help getting rolling. I will not be a stranger at the track for sure.

Anybody with an opportunity to ride a GP bike, please do your self a favor and DO IT.
