Okay, so here's an interesting one.

let's say you have a licence and now need to sort out everything else.

you have $3000 (cand). HOw much of this would go on bike, and how much on kit?
remember, you have to get Helmet, Jacket, Gloves, Boots etc as well as the bike.
So, let's see a shopping list!
Don't give up.

Not now, not soon, not after being continually knocked down.

If you never give up, you can never truly fail.
