Speculating The Spencer
September 04, 2015
Edit
The 2015 race flavor continued inwards tornadic fashion alongside multiple race weekends inwards May, in addition to thus races every 2 to 3 weeks afterwards that. Three weeks powerfulness seem similar a long fourth dimension betwixt events, precisely when juggling a total fourth dimension job, having to brand improvements in addition to repairs to the bikes in addition to van on off hours at that topographic point is no remainder for the weary. Most nights it is habitation from work/the gym at v in addition to into the garage for 2-3 hours earlier dinner in addition to passing out on the couch. Weekends are much the same, ride the dirt bike Sabbatum in addition to sun mornings afterwards the gym, in addition to thus launder it in addition to dorsum into the garage. Occasionally I volition create a charge of laundry in addition to I promised the neighbors I would mow the lawn. In November.
Finally Mid-July comes in addition to a vi in addition to a one-half calendar week interruption from racing. I must acknowledge to looking forrard to it. I conception to locomote some things done some the identify (lawn, maybe) in addition to non await at the race bikes for a picayune while. There volition likewise hold upward some long hours spent riding inwards the woods. In the end, though, racing is never far from my thoughts, in addition to before long I am packing for the 10 lx minutes crusade to Talladega, Alabama.
2015 WERA Results, thus far:
In Vintage 6 Lightweight (with the Yamaha FZR 400)

WERA takes the best iv finishes of the yr thus that leaves me (as of 8/23/15) leading the points inwards V6LW in addition to 2d identify inwards V5. My wishing for 2015 is to win both the V6 in addition to V5 championships. (I telephone phone it "The Spencer", afterwards Freddie Spencer, the exclusively passenger inwards history to win World Grand Prix titles inwards both the 250cc in addition to 500cc aeroplane inwards the same year, 1985). Obviously winning 2 gild racing championships is non quite equally glamorous equally Spencer's feat, precisely fifty-fifty us mere mortals are allowed to dream. Unfortunately, alongside the EX continuing to hiccup at the worst possible moments, in addition to exclusively 2 events left on the calendar, hope was laid about to fade.
