It's over, I am quiting riding..........if any of you even care

[airheadedduner]

It took some time but I made the very hard dissicion to give up riding for at least a year. School and work have become to much for me with the added frustration of my parents trying to help ( :rolleyes: ) point me in the right direction has drained me mentally and phisically to the breaking point. My R has not seen running time in 5 months. I am fixing it and selling it ASAP, maybe someone will give it a good home. Of course I plan on using some of the money to buy an aftermarket frame and yz400f motor and slowly piece together a machine to be ready for me when I feel it is time again, but for now I have to many other worries that need my attention.

Later all :)

BTW I will still be on of course, just not nearly as much.
This place is to addicting to completly leave:p

[EricB]

damn dude i wish i had more money i'd buy that from ya. i want an R so bad heh. well hopefully stuff pulls through for you and you'll have a pretty teets YZF400 machine built when the time comes. any idea on what frame your gonna stick it in? or should i say what one you want to put it in? the houser one looks pretty sick..

[JTRtrx250r]

[lil400exman]

if i could i would buy a few parts off ur r man..................

[HondaRancherES]

Sorry you have to give up riding for awhile. I know what ya mean about not having time to ride. Thursday was the first time I rode in 5 months

[JOEX]

Don't give up yet...spring and summer is just around the corner...
Winter just sucks, dark, dreary, depressing.
I haven't ridden in about 4 months and i'm jones'n. I like to ride to get away from life's hassles.

Good luck, Joe

[tants]

even if i try i couldnt give up riding. i was thinking about it because of school, work, and playing varsity football. i could play varsity and keep a job or quad at the same time. so i decided not to play... it was a very hard decession because ive been playing popwarner since i was 8..... and ill be racing this spring.

i hope i dont regret this...

[Sparks425Ex]

I don't think I could ever quit. But you have some good reasons. I used to play every sport out there and in hte past year and this comign year I will not be playing any sports. I gave them all up for racing. That was a pretty tough decision but after one race I knew this was teh best thing I have ever done. It is harder and pushes me more than any sport.(I have played jut about everything)

I have played football since I was 7-8 and it doesn;t even compare to racing.

Good Luck with the YZ

Tnats try saying the same think but he was joking, i think you are too, its too hard to do that, and for school!?!?!?!? I dont think so, if it is true you wont be abel to do it becuase its to hard and u love the sport to much.,.

[raptor_02]

i give up racing for 4 years because my parents split up and i decided to play football. I regret that decision! Do what u want to do. I'm sure deep down you want to keep riding. You only live once so live it to the fullest;)

[bntadams]

Through the snow and the sleet,
Through the rain and the heat,
I ride.
Through injury and suffering,
And all the why me’s and bickering,
I ride.
Aching for the mud on my tires,
The muddy sweat in my eyes,
Through the lightening in my arms,
Ignoring all the alarms,
Through ruptured disc,
And pain in my fist,
I ride.
Until I feel and hear nothing,
But that voice in my head chanting,
Faster faster faster.
For I am now the master,
Stopping time as I know it,
In the zone I now own it.
I race through the mud with a vengeance,
Thick like plaster,
Thin like water,
Makes no difference anymore.
For I race not my fellow atver,
But myself,
And yet another trophy,
For my shelf!

JUST RIDE!!!:blah Man I hate when I can't ride, it really sucks.

Hey i know how you feel about giving up ridding . I had to do the same about 2 years ago. I was getting up in the CMRC ranks but had to quit racing due to college and a new job . One way to look at it , was that the money that I got from the bikes went to pay College tuition.I'll be getting back into it soon i hope !!

[Benficachop]

:eek: NO no no why must you leave:( :( :( seya in a year:( :( :(

You will be back.. They all come back.

[anywhereEx]

Come on now. It's a pain but you can do it. I was away from home for over 8 1/2 months last year to come back to a new daughter, moving to a new state and buying a house, new job, and I go to college in my spare time but I find time to ride and even time to strip it down to the frame this winter for a full rebuild.

[Bean]

i couldnt quit man, riding, or fixing the ride, are the only things that hold my life togather, the rest is just crap compared to racing and riding, but if it floats your ship, sail 'er

Exactly, after being injured last year and not working most of it I made less then $3k, way less then half as much as normal. So intead of working part time and using the money I made during the summer to pay the bills, I have to work full time and go to school. I have just got a new job and as of tues. I have already put in over 20 hours this week at work. The R just has to go to pay my tuition this year. I have been stopping by the local paintball indoor fields and going "postal" on people there but it pales in the relief I get from riding. Gotta stay sane somehow:rolleyes: For now I am just gonna buy parts a little at a time and slowly build a bike, by this next winter I will probly have one done and ready to ride.
