a legend is forced into retirement.

it looks like he has done well out of the sport though.

why is it that when these proriders get sponsership pulled they retire if he is as cashed up as he seems buy a trailer and a new ride and run it as a privateer like the rest of us.

I guess he races for the money not for the fun????

Or is this just my cynical observation.

nice one huskygoat, but you won't get rid of me that easy and besides i have already retired from the sport in 03 came back in 06 to only find there were some new interesting characters like you that joined the sport.

if i was gusty i would retire too, would you get up and go to work for nothing, or as a privteer?

its the same as every other sportsman, if the money isn't there why work your ass or put your life at risk all for nothing.

has anyone heard what Jo Byrd is doing this year?

The truely great riders don't ride for money!!!!!! And if your out there for the money you will continue to get lapped . Show me I'm wrong Roycroft, Find some Heart and determination prove your not a turd being polished . Get some agro, Mongrel , try riding with pain instead of slowing up, The Great WALDO gets off his quad after a race, his gloves soaked with blood but never backed off. That is what it takes nothing less
