Well Andy, when I was racing....
I got a new crate from Suzuki every year. Was it better than last year,
well yes a little. Could I still beat the local snots with the old bike,
yes. But Suzuki wanted me to sell new bikes, so I got a NEW ONE,
regardless. If Solo2 had real sponsorship and similar classing then all
the hot shoes would have a new (Brand Name goes here) every year. When
they quit winning, they wouldn't get the new deal.
My early life just flashed before my eyes. 8^)
My next tirade will be on how to get free bikes, parts and labor (pit
amenities not withstanding) and still go broke.
