Would you give it up? Racing that is.

Actually she threatned to sell the bikes if I was not going to race. Which will lead to why do we need that big tolbox in the garage if I got rid of that, I could get my car in the garage, which leads to if I could park in the garage I could get the black Pacifica, which would lead to we have a bigger car we can have another kid, which leads to we have too many kids and need a bigger house, which leads to I can't work and clean this big house so I have to quit my job to take care of the house and we can't let that happen. :o

See how GOOD RACING IS FOR US ALL!!!

I don't know how I lucked out like I did with my wife...  She parks outside wiith the rest of the vehicles despite the 5 garage stalls we have.  She puts up with me racing and does everything she can to ensure I have the best stuff available, and RARELY complains (but God, look out when she does...)

She actually called me 2 weeks ago while I was out of town to ask if it was okay for her to get a CRF-150...  LOL... my response "honey, ther's only 1 dumber question you could ask"...

Again thanks for all the feedback and input, right now I'm waiting waiting for the final written offer, but so far it sounds great. Having a new job with a smaller company is really going ot help my mental state. :D

JeF4y, I know what you mean my wife parks outside of our garage too so that the toys can go in there. :D

When I was first married, I had an unused race bike. My wife said race it or get rid of it.

I have always parked cars and trucks outside so the bikes can go inside. When we bought our house there was never a question as to where the car and truck would be parked. Some of the bikes in the garage belong to my wife.

Mike excellent points there., and yes the average racer last 2.5years in a study ... kinda scary as i am almost at the end of my 3rd season ., it kinda sticks in the back of my mind.., i would like to do this a long time., but it IS alot of money., but i will always find a way..... thanks

    I almost completely bailed out of the sport due to massive debt I incurred in large part because of racing. I raced the '96, '97, '98, & '99 seasons then had to spend the next 2 1/2 seasons trying to recover financially.

I feel so much better after reading this.  It is the story of my life!  Thank god I'm not the only one...
Thanks, Mike!

The wait is over  ;D

Racing stays, and I get the job so who could ask for anything more?

I'm excited I start there in two weeks, and I'm racing this weekend.

Outstanding news Dave! :D

Next month, I too will be switching jobs.  A self-actualization sort of thing.  At least that's how I help rationalize the pay reduction.  I'll continue racing though.  Hell, I'll only have done 2 or 3 races by the time the season's over, so there's only up from here.

I'll be seein' you my friend. 8)

Being a married guy for the last 13 years.....I knew exactly what that question was.   ::)

Good luck H. and we'll see you at the next Blackhawk round correct?

[H-man]

Ahem...well...er...ah... :-[  It doesn't look so good for the home team to get on out there next month :(

Given that will be at the end of my first week at the new place and the need for a little belt tightening (after all, I want to make the USGP in July), I don't think it'd be too sagacious an idea :'(

I'm definitely on for October 9 & 10 though.

sagacious

Dave Rosno helped me set my sagacious, and now the bike handles much better! ;)

Oh, a wise guy, eh?  Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck ;)

Yeah, that's my new word for the moment.
