Was discussing the same thing yesterday with a friend, both of us being around the sport of motorcycling for many, many years and yes, losing a few mates along the way, but we are now involved in junior speedway and thoroughly enjoy watching the kids become grown ups, in a sport of their choice with their families fully supporting them. For some it's a hobby as they know they will never reach the heights they would love to attain but whatever their talent, the fact that mums, dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles are there with them, and their motorcycle 'familiy' will always be around to encourage them is why it's such a wonderful sport, and that's why we all do it.
