All over now. Well, I sold my 10 today. Not an easy thing to do, especially on a day that races are televised. But, as some of you know, my wife isn't long for this world so this summer we will spend on a cruiser. I figured it's too irresponsible to drag her around to track days and risk her being bored and me incapacitating myself (possibly). I think I will enjoy a slower pace for one year. I'll be back on the tracks next summer when the only person I'm responsible for will be me. Thanks one and all for the entertainment, advice and how-to's. I'll probably be lurking.......

Man, I am very sorry to hear about your wife... and you sold your 10 to a great guy who is going to "ride"... it is not going to sit in a garage on beautiful weekends! nor is it going to sit in the rain or snow. you sold it to a rider who is going to race, ride and enjoy her! I wish you and your wife a great summer! enjoy each other, and dont worry about your old 10 she is in good hands!
