Well Andy, when I was racing....
I got a new crate from Suzuki every year.  Was it better than last year, 
well yes a little.  Could I still beat the local snots with the old bike, 
yes.  But Suzuki wanted me to sell new bikes, so I got a NEW ONE, 
regardless.  If Solo2 had real sponsorship and similar classing then all 
the hot shoes would have a new (Brand Name goes here) every year.  When 
they quit winning, they wouldn't get the new deal.
My early life just flashed before my eyes.  8^)
My next tirade will be on how to get free bikes, parts and labor (pit 
amenities not withstanding) and still go broke.
