Hey no problem. Anyway I can help out! ;)
I have been contemplating starting my own roadracing school one day. After I retire in a few years or so I will probably start my own school. I feel like I have so much to explain to others about how bikes really work.
Funny thing is when you have been doing it for so long it just gets easier and easier to do.
I have learned all this mostly on my own through constant studying and keeping an open mind about things.
I would like to help shorten riders learning curve so they don't struggle for so long to find out later in their career how to get faster. So riders never make it because they don't get the proper teaching or because they don't have an open mind.
I see many riders stuck in a spot they can't get out of in their learning curve. I have taken off racing for a few years out of my career. But even while I wasn't racing I was still teaching myself new ideas.
I realized sometimes when you take a step back and stop riding and think about things you come back stronger, healed up, and ready to rock!
Riding too long or too many races can burn you out and you get sick of racing. Racing is supposed to be fun but serious at the same time. It's hard to balance the fine line. It's easy to get caught up in the competitive drive of racing where racing isn't fun anymore. Then you start asking yourself why your doing it anymore.
I'm onto starting another thread tonight. We'll see what I can think up for a topic.
Thanks for the props,
Farrell  :)
