Yep Just like The Hotel California "you can check out anytime you want but you can never leave"
Racing is such a great community that probably 85% of my freinds are in the racers or former racers. Thats why I started SOAR, it was time for me to get off the bike but I cant think about leaving the sport I love.

Steve Crevier and Gary Goodfellow were my neighbours friends and they stopped by to see him with their trailers and bikes early in the week.
I was already a huge Lawson/Schwantz/Rainey GP racing fan, and just gawked at the bikes and gear as they were getting them cleaned and organized.
Crevier asked me if I had ever been to a racetrack before - nope. "See you Thursday and bring your gear, you're coming with us".
I spent the weekend at Shannonville with Crevier cleaning his bike and being a go-for. Spent the evenings with his crew drinking beer and eating Wendy's and being yelled at by Steve to shut the ****-up because we were laughing too hard at the length of the smear marks a Wendy's single can leave on Steve Dick's van windshield parked below our balcony!
By season's end, I had my RACE licence and was racing the following year.
I still have a chuckle with Fuzz when he's around.
And if Franz is who I think he is, I would line up beside him on my Katana 600 (no GSXR600's back then) in the rain, and he would just laugh! Him and I would be some of the fastest of our group in the rain when HP didn't matter a whole lot.
If it is the same Franz - great to hear your name. If not, then we probably bumped each other in a corner anyway!

Anyone remember the "oval" on the North Service Rd in Sauga?[/QUOTE]
I loved that oval, the reaserch center right, too bad they gated it, last time around we needed bolt cutters to open her up!
