As I stated long ago before you started getting these number one spots - I am so extremely proud of you and what you have done in just one year my good friend!
You have truly achieved so much, and I am not just talking about the trophies and plaques either Leon! You have sincerely inspired me and made every visit to this forum worthwhile - just as Phil did for me after he bought my Suzuki SV650 and went out there winning everything he entered (And the most touching part was seeing the videos of his accepting his trophies and literally thanking ME when he got the chance to speak!) This actually brought tears to my eyes - THANK YOU AGAIN PHIL !!!
Today I got a text msg from Mark telling me how bad ass you were doing out there on the bike, and just as his stated above, how impressive and articulate you write-which obviously brought him to his comment about "feeling like he is out there with you the way you write" which goes without saying my man! Now I know exactly what you meant Mark- since I didnt read this until just now. Perfect observation Mark!
I will never forget the first time we met in Orlando when I was working the Belli Booth and how I said to Randy, Lyle, and even Andrew Cox how impressed I was with your demeanor, kindness and the way you present yourself. That image has stayed with me all this while as I read about every modification you made to that bike and started preparing yourself for club racing! Obviously you made a killer Ducati which leaves me in awe brother!
Again Leon, I am so incredibly proud of you my friend and pray that you continue to this sport safely and at the front! If I don't get the chance to communicate with you before then - I wish both you and your bride a totally memorable wedding day and night, and many many years of glorious time together as husband and wife!
Congrats on EVERYTHING Leon! You seriously deserve it after all you put in my man!
