This beingness role XV of a Racer's Final(s) Diary
Cannonball Cobb shortly finds his agency past times me. I dear the hold off too audio of the cycle he is riding: Joe Pomeroy's Banshee/RZ engine hybrid inwards an Aprilia chassis. The affair apartment out works, evidently good developed, a existent race bike. I've ofttimes wondered what it would endure similar to ain too race such a piece, something that is the degree of it's field. Built non out of budget, but for the utmost inwards performance. Racing is never an tardily job, but when yous accept the correct tools.... (If I spent to a greater extent than fourth dimension focusing on a career too making to a greater extent than or less coin when I was inwards my twenties, instead of "finding myself", I mightiness endure inwards a amend fiscal set to afford a machine similar that.) Hindsight.

| Joe Pomeroy's hybrid |
I scout every bit Cobb too the ruby-red rocket slingshot past times me making that sweet, unadulterated 2 stroke song. They are gone too I am left to my ain devices inwards 3rd place. Just every bit it starts to teach lonely, I listen what sounds similar the faint throb of a v-twin engine. My heed scrolls through the V6LW entries too I realize I accept been caught inwards the talons of a hawk. A Honda 650 Hawk that is. It's Wade Parish, too he is all over me, all of a sudden. It sure enough feels similar I accept been swooped upon past times to a greater extent than or less thundering plane of prey. And he wants third. Bad.
I know I tin musical rhythm out him if I clit the plug out, but at that topographic point is much trepidation on my role almost getting into a kerfuffle. I accept zero to seek hither past times dicing too everything to lose. The onetime axiom 'To complete first, yous get-go must finish' has never been truer than this moment. But my pride won't permit me merely ringlet over for this guy. We become dorsum too forth for a few laps. Apparently from the stands it looked similar quite a battle, but deep downwardly I am belongings back, afraid to crash. This gives Wade too the Hawk all the impetus required too he makes the overstep stick. My initial instinct is to chase downwardly this raptor too tear it apart. For once, maturity comes out on top too I permit it go. I complete the race inwards fourth. Sometimes yous accept to lose a battle to win a war. Quoth the Hawk: "Ye shall endure four.".
