Sometimes It Pays To Rest Home
August 11, 2016
Edit
I didn't brand the race in conclusion weekend. Primary race wheel (Gas Gas EC300) blew both fork seals inwards exercise 2 days before, had no luck finding seals locally. The back-up wheel (KDX 200) needed a few things to live ready. To piece of employment yesteryear it all off the forepart brakes on the van locked upwards on the means to practice, alongside smoke rolling out every bit I tried to larn off the highway. They finally released as well as everything seemed normal for the residuum of the drive. Normally I would convey chanced the 4.5 lx minutes trip to the track.
But my see exactly wasn't inwards it. I've spent many a slowly nighttime toiling into wee hours alongside swollen hands as well as bloody knuckles to arrive to a race. Loading the van at iii am, sleeping for an lx minutes as well as and thence driving 10. Gone searching all over god's creation to locate the business office desperately needed to compete. Paid exorbitant overnight transportation rates to larn materials on fourth dimension that never seems to come upwards on time. Written myself listing subsequently listing thence every bit non to forget of import things, but ever missing ane or two.
Last week, I had exactly had enough. Daily life frustrations convey been piling upwards for the in conclusion few months as well as I was non willing to bargain alongside the stress of slamming together a half-ass race weekend on piece of employment yesteryear of it. Been there, done that, thence many friggin' times. So for the starting fourth dimension time inwards years of racing that I wasn't injured or dead broke, I bagged it. I didn't go. Because I exactly didn't experience similar it.
A swell racer ane time told me: "If your caput isn't 100% inwards it, larn the fuck off the motorcycle, because y'all are going to larn hurt." My caput wasn't there, as well as I didn't intend I could larn it at that spot inwards time.
So I stayed habitation as well as went play riding for 5 hours on the KDX as well as had a blast. I don't know if it was a mature determination or exactly beingness a pussy. I don't care. I experience OK well-nigh it.
And y'all tin bet your donkey I'll live at the side yesteryear side race.
