Listed my PE 250 twice, no takers, all tyre kickers, roll her back in the shed and finish her off when I can.
Listed my Rm 125 for the 2nd time, no takers, bring her home, and park it.
With all what happening with VMX and the CSC club, no wonder the flame in my belly is nearly out regarding racing, l try to keep it going.
I often think about chunking all in, a have a go at classic road racing, I just don`t know, I have talked to a lot of road racing people about it. Its hard to keep going when the pockets are not full of bread.
Question Mark ??
For a start Dave, you don't race anymore....you are well known as a buyer and seller. You find all the good bikes but don't ever appear at a race with them anywhere.
Secondly, this thread isn't about how hard it is to sell a bike these days....IT'S ABOUT WHY YOU DON'T RACE.
If you were so concerned about where the CSC is heading, maybe you should've come (gone) to more GM's in the last 5 years to voice your opinion(s).
NO POINT IN TALKING OUT OF SCHOOL......Yes, it is hard to keep on racing when the pockets aren't full of "bread", as you say, but you either want to have a great time racing with like minded people or you don't. Me, I'd rather a crappy day out racing ( Broken bike, forgotten spares, bad starts..etc.) than sitting around a coffee table wondering what I should do with my day.
My day out racing would be a whole lot more affordable IF MA wasn't involved. IF you think that VMX is expensive, get yourself involved with road racing....MA has their greedy paws even deeper there.
