    Hey Abtech, sorry to hear the news. I guess it's inevitable for all of us eventually though. I'd rather choose to get out, than be forced out (or worse).

  11. ReaperAZ I'm baaaaack.

    I'm sorry to hear this Frank. While I have never met you and never made it to any Grattan events when I had my bike I'm sure it wasn't an easy choice. When you live your life a certain way for a long time it's always hard to change it. Especially when you put so much into it. I hope you continue to be healthy and live a fruitful life with whatever you find to "replace" riding. Best wishes.

    Hi Abtech, sorry to learn that you won't be riding, but am hoping the best for your future. Been learning from you for a long time now & it's nice to know you will still be around to share your wealth of knowledge with us. I feel blessed to have ridden with you on the track on two different occasions at Grattan. Wish I could make it out again this year to do a parade lap with you.

    Best wishes,

    Mike

    Yes it does. It's been something like 45 years of racing/track riding. I feel pretty blessed that I am still around to remember all the good and bad times.

    But I also cherish the relationships and great people I've been lucky enough to have/meet over the years.

    oh well, $hit happens . . .
