Racing is so stupid.

[Farmboy]

I finally sold the 996 motor. 1400 bucks. Nice, low mileage, solid motor, with about 1500.00 worth of flywheel, pulleys, and cam-degreeing work in it. It'll probably run forever if it's maintained properly.

And what will I do with the money?

2 sets of tires, which I will use up my first weekend, and several spare sprockets, which will last me maybe half the season. That's it. I've traded away a tangible asset (hell, a working, technologically advanced, mechanical piece of art, from an icon of a motorcycle, no less) at a bargain-basement price, for consumables which will quickly evaporate into the ether.

Someone shoot me, please.

And, please, please, PLEASE, stay away from the track, so this never happens to you.

It's like complaining about the cost of heroin to a bunch of crack heads.

I presume that means that all 64 have made that same deal with the devil...

I know I have.

I had a BUILT 748 that was just plain awesome.  Sold it on eBay for something stupid like 3000 bucks.  Absolutely kicking myself.  The money went towards the upgrades on the SV that won me a championship.  (along with that 2 dollar plaque).

Heroin and Crack are two VERY different drugs. Besides judging from their forum, I think WERA gets the crackhead award.

No worry Davey, I got this one covered...

So Gig, okay, see...the heroin addict was complaining about the cost of heroin because he's a heroin addict who uses heroin, not crack, which is less expensive than heroin, but worthless to the heroin addict since his addiction is heroin, not crack, and if you're a crackhead the cost of crack is killer enough since you need it all the time and you really don't give a shit about the cost of heroin because you're a crackhead who needs crack so you just want the heroin addict to go away so you can get back to your pipe and whatnot...

...you're right about the WERA board though.

Great Insight Don- !- Therapists might say that anything you do to seperate , even momentarily,from life's issues, can be helpful,in the ability to see things from another view.. Racing(if I remember correctly) sure has a way of seperating... and making you focus elsewhere, very well. . Cheers..Cat
