Forget about not riding GPs

[Jack]

Things have worked out and a 95 RS125 sits in my shop for next year. Now, I've gotta look for a track day somewhere. No more of those "he was on an RS" excuses, LOL!

Did you sell the TZ?

I still have it. Fellow in San Antonio might come down this weekend to look at it. Says he's wanting it. Then I have other possibles. Don't think it'll be around much longer, it's a good bike for a good price. I didn't wanna let this RS get away from me, though. Good deal, too, on a '95. Had to drive to Fort Worth for it, but it ain't like I had to take a four day trip. I made it up there and back in 13.5 hours. Texas is a big state.

This fellow in SA is only 2.5-3 hours from me. I have to work Saturday, so if he comes, he'll have to get down here around 6pm when I get off work. He went out of town last weekend. Just haven't been able to connect.

Thanks, Byron, I'm really looking forward to all the fun next year with all the 125ers in the region. Your brother deserves to be recognised for the great job he did this past season. He rode hard and improved a lot through the year. Good job.

That's a big bonus to racing GPs. The competition level makes you learn and improve. After all these years I feel like I'm on a learning curve again and I get faster each weekend I straddle the bike. I haven't felt like that in a while, really since I was running 250s twenty years ago. Makes you feel younger until you step in front of a mirror, so I avoid mirrors and just have fun! It also makes me wish I'd never quit. I lost 13 years of fun and improvement, but I ain't lookin' back, only forward now. That helped me make the decision not to quit GP, but to try to improve and just keep going for it. I ain't getting any younger and I still wanna have fun. I'm not gonna let money stand in my way at this point! And the 125 guys are the best group in our region to be riding with. There's not the squidly traffic of some of the other classes, everyone KNOWS what he's doing and everyone is willing to help each other. That's the way it should be and I'm enjoying it greatly. Win or lose, I always have fun on a GP bike, which is a good thing since I've done a lot more losing than winning so far, LOL. BUT, I'm working on that!

See ya'll next year!
