My son retires from racing!
« on: February 17, 2009, 09:57:28 AM »

As some of you know my son raced in the WERA sportbike series for the past five years.  One of his best friends was killed last year at Roebling Road near Savannah GA.  I think this and the expense made him decide to find another hobby.  He sold his trailer, GSXR750 and GSXR1000 along with all his race equipment last week.  His mother and I are thrilled!
:orange:  :orange:

He started riding trail bikes about two years ago and it now appears that's going to be his new hobby.  Much safer!

Anyway, here's a pic of his new ride.  A Giant Trance XO.  Looks like a CVO to me!

Not only does it look like a CVO, I'm sure it is priced the same. Years ago I did some down hill racing and know the cost of a top of the line bike is more than the average person can deal with.  Tell your son I wish him the  best of luck its a tough sport and to try to ride safe......  Great looking bike by the way
