Yeah, who broke it. Because it was down I had no valid excuse not to accompany the wife to the store for "shopping". [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
Well good afternoon PSAR.
Yesterday's outburst,......... some of you feel like I owe an explanation. Here you go. To include specifics for those that need to know.
I reached a point where if you want help, ASK! I DO NOT READ MINDS! My son did not race this last weekend because he was too busy playing video games to ask / inquire. He just wanted to know where his stuff was once we got to the track! Sorry buddy boy!
Kym, do not be embarrassed to ask for help. It is easier to ask me for help now, then deal with chit breaking on the track. EX: #1 your 300 chain, we made the trip to race TT at RMC. Your chain broke, I was the one who was running accross the track to help you get your machine off the track, and back to the pits. You came to see me the following week at the barn for a replacement. You wanted to buy a 18.00 chain, I would not sell you the same P.O.S. that you just broke days before that. I sold you a much better chain that was almost 1 1/2 times the price for 2.00 more. #2 the blaster brakes.......I sold you a blaster, that only needed a brake cable for them to work as designed (sure a mechanical disk isn't cool, but it stops the machine) I ordered a cable for you, and you declined it. That honestly pissed me off. A 20.00 cable, and the blaster could have had an operable brake system intact. It is reasons like these, that I get so upset about hearing about your mechanical failures.
You have my cell number, you could have called me to see if the races were rained out. The information line is posted on the website under "CALL BEFORE YOU HAUL". You could have called Bobby, we spoke with each other from 11:00 am off and on until I saw him at the track. I didn't think it was right you called me out on the forums that I didn't let you know about the races. There are many ways to find out. That is why I made the comment about pointing the finger at yourself, not me.
The sponsorship deal......The last thing you told me was everything was set up for the year thru RIDE. I know you have a bunch of smaller sponsors, but what do they do for you? If they are only giving you a price break off of retail price, then how valueable are they? With companys out there like Rocky Mt ATV, who needs to use "sponsorhouse.com?" A good sponsor is one that gives you freebies, no matter how small they are. A discount only? phewy! Use rocky mountain if they are just gonna give a discount. Why bother to advertise for a company that is going to give you 20% off of parts. Advertise for the ones that give you product.
"The bring me my mom back comment". The sore spot of all comments I made. I left a fantastic lifestyle in Texas to come home to be with my mom after my stepfather and grandfather passed away. 8 months later, I lost her in a tragic accident. I only have what I have because of the money that was left to me. I would give everything back, if I could have her back in my life today. I know that will never happen, so I spend my free time, in my garage, maintaining the toys that she enabled me to buy. There are small sacrifices that you can make, to maintain your machines just a tick better. A little maintanence goes a long way.
I will not appologize for what I wrote yesterday. It was all from my heart. Most of you know me well enough to know that it's just me, being me.
