[domski]

Good advice from everyone - thanks very much

I have thought of hundreds of jobs to do, and many business ideas (mainly get poor quick ones) and I've decided that life is too short to worry about making a fortune - nobody really needs as much money as Lord Rattler!!

I want to be happy at work, and as long as I can go racing and pay the bills, that's all I should worry about for the next 10 years.

I've had a string of crappy jobs, all paying pretty good (for down here anyway) but I've always ended up working vast hours, and having no life.

That's gunna change whilst I'm still in my 20's (only just).

Websites are ok, but I'm not confident enough in my ability to make it really work - and I'm too lazy to make it work from home.

I love bikes. Almost every minute of every day for the last 15 years (I'm not kidding) I have been thinking about motorcycles in one way or another (nothing sexual - I don't think).

I've had the bike shop - which went tits up, coz I was young and stoopid.

I'm not really a salesman.

I like playing with stuff, and was always taking stuff apart as a kid - not always putting it back together!

Bikes rock!!

Hopefully I can get in somewhere for a day or 2 a week, and start to get experience, and I'm sure I can take it from there.

I wonder if I can hide a laptop in a tool chest :P
