Thanks Mick
I am glad Connor enjoyed his Day, I know I did, How did the little man sleep that night, He did real well.
Mate I had a week of carnage with the boys bikes, get this for a list of repairs before race day,
2 rear tyres,
3 chains,
1 rear sprocket – 65,
1 front mud guard Ktm 50 and graphics to suit,
1 broken muffler – 50, broken frame mount – 85,
Blown front fork seal X 2 bikes,
Rear wheel bearings X 2 bikes,
Broken ignition cover – 65,
Lost axle bolts for rear axle -50,
Lost chain roller – 65,
Broken front number plate – 50,
Bent Bars on 65 as well as torn grips,
Ripped pair of Alpinestars,
Broken peak on new fox Helmet,
Broken Thor Sentinal Armour,
3 sets of brake pads,
we used 95 litres of fuel and 2 litres of premix in the four bikes over the 5 days and there is more little stuff to go but I wont bore you anymore.
Mick I worked it out my two boys have done nearly 35 race days worth of effort this week, so all in all it is pretty good, I really dont want to go back to work next week but I have to in order to pay for all the carnage.
Tell Connor I am watching him next race day and he had better come forwards for the starts and slow the clutch down for that fast start, he almost won that reflex race, and also tell him thanks for trying what I said, it is so cool that they try, even when its a little scary.
You are right, if these kids saw me ride in the bush they would think twice, but I have that base covered with the line of “Do what I say not what I do”, or “I am just checking the faster outside line to see how the grip is”, how about “I am testing the latest safety gear” or the fail safe “What? Me do that , no-way that wasn’t close”.
I am so glad that the kids listen and then try, it makes it all worth my while when that happens.
Cant wait for the next school
One Last thing, I think I will have to pay you some more money man, I just paid you that bribe for a little wrap, not photo’s as well, bloody newspaper people, dont think you can get any more out of me by sucking up.
Thanks Mate
Lets try to ride soon , I need some Big Boy Ride time
