Just Sold My Soul

Well, I hate to say it but I did it. :cry: As of June 12th I will be riding red on a new TRX450R. I had talked before but didn't think my dealer was serious. Showed up today and the owner (who I've known for years and am very good friends w/) asked me if I wanted to talk on what we'd discussed before. Well, after getting ahold of the family and talking for a couple hours, the deal was made and contract signed. I don't have to race till the 12th but can earlier. They just wanted a little time to practice and then race it after that.
I am now officially riding for my local Honda shop aboard a TRX450R and a CRF250R. Both brand new and set up to what I need. The quad will have HRC kit, exhaust, nerfs, tires, rims, and various other items installed; and the bike will also be getting an exhaust, filter, etc. The deal also includes an enclosed trailer to haul w/for just under $10k total as well as all parts at dealer invoice. I'd rather go w/a Yamaha combo but they said they couldn't do that but never really wanted to get into why on that.
The bike will be ready by next weekend they said, the quad around the same time or shortly after, and the trailer they didn't know. I know the quad isn't as good as my Dale but I can't take it anymore. I'm spending atleast $100 EVERY single race for something wrong like brake lines, starter clutch gear, shock problems, etc. This way I get it all cheap and full service done locally. The Dale will be officially for sale but it WILL NOT BE MY LAST! I will be back w/an ATK or something sometime. I'll have the Cannibal until it sells but w/the cash I'm paying I could use it soon. Really hate to do it but I think you can all see why. This was very sudden and will be a huge help.
