18 Feb 2004: HEY EVERYONE!!! How's things?? I've been pretty good! I'm at home in Canberra at the moment and it great to be home!I really have to apologise for not writing sooner. I've been really enjoying my time off and hanging out it with my folks and having plenty of fun kicking it with all my buds!
Jeff & Rob T from Team KTM Motorex were kind enough to give me a brand spanking 125cc for the time that I'm home so I can train and get ready for the US series! I haven't ridden a 125cc for a few years but OMIGOD that bike is FAST! I got the boys at Race Tech up in Sydney to put some "Gold Valve" suspension in there for me and the bike just hooks! I've ridden the bike pretty much every weekend since I got it and I think it has to be the best 125cc ever built! The engine is fantastic with a lot of power up high and where other 125cc lack, the KTM has quite a bit of grunt of the bottom and it really pulls you out of corners like a 4 stroke would.
I instructed at the Stephan Gall's Academy of Off Road Riding up in Sydney in January and it was phat! The school in Jan is always the hottest of the year and I think this year it exceeded all expectations! At 3pm one afternoon it was still 46 degrees!! None the less the school was a blast. I got to catch up with all my buds and do some riding with Chris
