    So I think this is the end

    I regret to share that I've got to stop racing for financial reasons. The real world is calling and it wants its money. I'm debating selling the 125 as well. I hope to return one day, but I'm trying to be realistic in that I don't think it'll be next year.

    Re: So I think this is the end

    dang man, that sucks. being responsible sucks. not racing sucks. the fact that DNF racing is now defunct sucks. this economy sucks. selling your 125 sucks.

    ...good luck with what ever you do. maybe someday in the distant future we will revive DNF. i figure we should all be financally stable by the time we qualify for formula 40

    Re: So I think this is the end

    Yeah, I'll be up on Sunday most likely, with the R6 (less gas than the Chevy Fullsize!). I'm doing the TTD Mon/Tues. Not sure if I'll be up every weekend, but I definitely won't be a stranger. I've still got fuel for it in me, so its tough.

    Re: So I think this is the end

    Thanks everybody. Its a tough decision to have to make. I'll still be doing trackdays with the R6 so I won't have to go completely cold turkey.

    year 1 is a piece of cake, the faster you get, the more expensive it gets.

    Yah, but year 1 you need to get all the crap you didnt think you NEEDED. Once you get that, you get a lull, THEN You start paying to go faster

    The first half of the year I was hurting financially even though I am expecting to make $10,000 more this year then I did last year.

    Making the proper FS post in Classifieds now.

    Jay, I'm not planning on having the bike with me for the Tony's day but depending on how serious you are I'll consider it.

    sorry to hear you've gotta cut out, Neal

    gotta ask, would you entertain a trade for your bike? specifically, for a 1966 Porsche 912? its worth more than 5K but man would i love an RS125 for track duty.

    Re: So I think this is the end

    Price will determine my level of serio...uhh....seriousity?

    No need to bring it if you weren't planning to have it there. I'm in no hurry, just want to let you know I'm interested, and I'd want to see if a 125 could haul my fat ass up the elevation changes before I'd buy one.
