Message: [QUOTE="CJ Rider, post: 440062, member: 17860"] First (to Michelle), let me wipe the coffee from my monitor from your “pit bimbo” comment! You are many things, but you have too much riding skill and way too many brain cells to settle for a title like “pit bimbo,” LOL! Next (to all), I don’t think the folks here in the US really understand Michelle’s predicament, so I gotta explain a little. In NZ, there’s no public land. Dirt riders can either 1) race or 2) participate in organized events. Those are the only options. If you are competitive in nature, ya race. If not, then ya ride the organized events with your riding buddies (of which, women are too few in NZ from what I saw). SO… Michelle actually rides better than she thinks so she COULD race. The real question might be would she have FUN if she raced? THIS is a tougher question than it might seem on the surface. To some people, competition is the perfect way to enjoy a sport and to test your skills. To others, competition is simply not enjoyable at all. So what do you do if your spouse is a competitive spirit but you just enjoyed riding for the fun of it? It’s a huge dilemma! I don't have a good answer other than it couldn't hurt to give racing a try. Ya might find that ya really like it OR you'll figure out that you really don't. Either way, you'll learn something about yourself in the process! [/QUOTE]
