been thinking about this again. We raced today, and what i realised is im not supersticious but more obsessive conpusive ? Both my 250 have issues so rather than taking one i thought id take both undere the assumtion one might work probally and the other may be needed as a backup, then i new i had to have my 360 for the open class, so three bikes had to squash in the van, it took some jigling but it happened, then i remeber i had to fit in all my crates and ridding gear, its always the same crates and i had them stacked everywhere, not one petrol can but 4 x 4lt tins,oil , spare levers you name it it always goes in the van. Now here is where i realised i have issues. after unloading the car taking all the shit to the pits , then lugging it all back again and trying to force it back from wence it came. I got to thinking why ?
Like why do i take the box full of levers ? most of which include modern ktm/wr/cr twin pivot style to a pre 75 race ? why do i take 3 cans of chain lube ? the closer i looked the more fear of forgetting somthing became obvious. Have a closer look at the pics in that crate is brake fluid - What the ? last time i looked my pre 75 had no disk brakes ? a spare coil off who knows what , a bottle of coolant ?, a complete gasket set ? ( what engine am i rebuilding in the dirt ) the more i looked through my crates all rammed under and over the bikes, i realised i have a obsessive problem, a fear of not having the part i need with me ? then maybe i should just, actually fix my bikes BEFORE i get to the track ?
after today "light bulb " moment - I have made a note and stuck it to my fridge (after unloading the van) to cut my boxes to only pre 75 parts to only Pre 75 meets. Also i took these foto's to print out later to remind me to get my act together before the next run.
Just as worrying was at that point i was already half unloaded :'(
