The point is, no matter what your dreams are and how good your ideas are, you cant make it big without the big boys playing along, and they don't like radical change.

I have had several discussions with Michael (a very nice guy) about his bike and the problems that I saw in it. While I know it is easy to be a critic, it seemed that Mike had a very difficult time allowing any kind of opinion exist around him that challenged his ideas. It seemed that nothing (even math, physics or the accountant) would sway him from his vision. It seems that you can run from the math, but eventually the money man always catches up. I hope he is able to continue and finally brings something to the race and to the market. I'm glad that he is showing a change in his vision. I hope that he goes back to square one and a clean sheet of paper. He should surround himself with people that challenge him who question him. Focus on small goals and concepts and move forward to larger ones. I want mike to succede. In a way I’m sad and glad.

First you try to develop an engine which never actually races and then you say "it is coming to an end" in other words the money spent is gone...strange philosophy The process has taken some time and for sure has cost a lot of money so leaving that all behind doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The development of the engine is the most expensive part of the motorcycle. They could have focused on WSBK because the rules changed this year regarding the production quota... which makes me wonder: the Foggy-Petronas raced in WSBK but were there any built (and ridden on the street for that matter)?
