Why would you ask poor old Steve this question? Are you looking for members to join your husband's cherrypicker gang? I'm sure the wera sportsman L/W national title is at the top of his resume'.I'm sure Steve would not donate his $5000 motorcycle after winning $500 !!! EVERYONE should give TSR a break...enough is enough.

Joe, thanks for the support.

But...and this goes to everyone...settle down. For the most part, I think that Laurie was just ribbing me, and not trying to be mean. She & I have traded some private email(I hope you got my reply??), and (I think) she's trying to have a little BBS fun. She's hounddogging me to keep me in check.

I don't like it anymore than anyone else that Lee's the LWT Sportsman champ, but he followed the rules...and won. If we don't like it, then we should address the rules. State your displeasure to Sean, and offer constructive suggestions on how you think it would be better implemented.(I recommended that a certain number of events must be attended, and that that number be greater than one, and not a combined Nat'l/sportman, either.) What's that new saying, "Don't hate the player, hate the game."

And, Lee donated the bike sales $4500 after winning $2500 from the SV cup race, $500 for LWT @ GNF, and $500 from VIR. So, really, he did give up $1000 of other funds to MRO. So, he didn't directly profit from it, financially.

Let's face it, Lee didn't race the SV because of it's great qualities as a small twin. Instead, he had the opportunity to set the Suzuki Cup race record of winning 4 cup races. Given that chance, wouldn't you go for it? Had Tray not spoiled the TL race, Lee would be mentioned for the next N years until someone matched or broke it.

And, next year, I'll bet someone will shoot for all 5.(SV, TL, 600, 750, 1000), given that Suz makes one for the biggun's.

So, in recap, cut the L.A.'s some slack(unless she pipes up again ) and be sure to address WERA with your ideas for rule changes.

Have a great day, I must do work now.(Yes, I really do have a day job.)
