Life gets more exciting as the day turns to night. Last night I got a call from the UK on my cell phone, I missed the call, but there was a message for me, it was from a very special friend of mine, regarding my talking about racing at the TT again.

The guy that contacted me, is one of the nicest people that I am so lucky to know, his morals are sound, his intentions are fantastic, and his faith and commitment to ME is incredible.

He has OFFERED me a full spec 600SS bike to race next year if I want it, the bike is a very very good bike, and I know who will be my personell choice mechanic ( As I have spoken to him already) to look after it and me.

I have never fealt so honoured as I do at the moment, for some one to offer me a ride for the TT already like this is amazing, this man trully believes in me as a rider, as he knows me inside and out.

The deal has been made based on my final decision, (NO PRESSURE WHAT SO EVER) If in Dec ember I decide that I will be racing again, the 600ss bike will be sent out to New Zealand for me to start practising on it, so when we get to the TT, we are on a bike that is already set up for me and good to go.

Should the deal take place, I will be actively looking for outside sponsorship to help with the funding of this programme, the owner of the machine does not want his name all over the bike, so we will be selling of the naming writes to the bike, ie, a good sponsor will have there name all over the bike and leathers, the bike has cost the owner 16-000 Pounds, we would be looking for 10-000 to become the naming write sponsor.

Life is about plans, and I am a full believer in planning things, hense I have announced this to you all so early with out any definate commitment at this stage, I want to get this possibility out there as early as possible, to see if I can potentually help to attract the sponsorship required to do this job.

As I have said, I cannot nor will not commit 100% until December untill we can honestly appraise my physical condition, I want to be as best as I can be fitness wise, and I also will be asking my wife for her blessing to attack the course again, but will not ask Fiona untill she can see me doing my past physical programme.

I can gaurantee one thing now, I am so dam lucky to have this offer, I will guarantee now that if you see me riding at the TT next year, I will be in the best fitness condition I have ever been to race there.
