any of it . The only thing I chase is the sweet feeling of accomplishment at the end of a day . Daily challenge laid before me , accepted , and overcome . Repeat . Discipline is what it takes to maintain the push . I can ride this bike , and I will do so relentlessly , until the wheels come off . Just try to fucking stop me ! Either the track will break me , or I will break it , and only one of us will come out alive .
Then there is my bike ; my faithful , beloved , and special friend . There are many others like it , but this one is mine . Another thing your money buys you on a race like this , is time to unashamedly spent with your best friend , without interruption . There really is nothing better to me than fully using a motorcycle for its intended use . Much like a human who goes onto to win a Nobel Peace Prize , or star in a good movie , great motorbikes are chosen for extreme adventures and come to life as they charge at them .
The rest are condemned to the garage , cleaned with a toothbrush , and only brought out on a dry summer day . Not my bike ; it ’ s a wild animal that ’ s been thrashed to hell and back . I am ferocious with my love . Out here on these tracks , we roam at large , like kings of the jungle , ready to attack whatever takes our fancy . Be warned world . When you hear that thumping single cylinder cry out like a death machine and that cheap exhaust pop in heavy engine braking ; a hell storm is coming over that hill , and it will maim you if you get too close .
