Im selling my flat-tracker.
It's a YZF 450 and it's bloody perfect for racing.
I was always planning on selling this bike once I had built my Triumph.
Since my accident I have been deciding weather I will be racing Flat-track again.
If a broken leg was only one week of pain then I would be back on the track tomorrow but it ain't it's 7 weeks of a massively fucked up life so far , cancelled ride into Italy, a chopper that hasn't been built , clients that could go elsewhere and scratching by because I've had to find other bods to do my work for me.
It sucks big time.
I can't afford this to happen again so I'm not flattracking again .
I know that I could have done this slipping off a curb or tripping on some timber, but the chances of it happening whilst tanking into a corner, flat out , fighting for the same small piece of muddy , slippy track as 12 other bods is much more likely.
Mrs Oily ( bless her she has never asked me to stop even though this broken leg has fucked around her life aswell) suggested that I could just pootlle around the outside , but I know me and I can't do that .
I'm keeping the Trumpet and may race it in another guise one day .

Hard choice to make Rob, chin up and carry on!
Get out in that shed and get on with the Sweedish chopper!
A tough decision to have to make. I work for myself so I understand what life is like without a safety net. You'll have more time to build that chopper now. One suggestion why not have a go at hillclimbing on the Triumph? It's just you against the clock so should in theory mean less risk al least from other riders trying to run you over :-)
Sorry top hear you're hangin' up your dirttrack leathers Rob. Getting hurt does suck... especially if it screws with one's ability to earn. Hope you heal up soon!
