And still they get it wrong :-( For communication to work, it has to be "heard" and it has to be "right" - failures on both accounts here by the looks of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's probably an invitation/opportunity for him to think about and either accept or reject. Shows he hasn't been forgot about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As with Mr Bridger im sure if someone fronted up a couple of bikes, some engines and a van he could be tempted back. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure that any ex rider offered all of that ( over fifteen grands worth of kit there ) would seriously think of making a comeback.As talented as he might have appeared at one point you sure someone would offer that to a youngster who’s walked away from the sport twice already ? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have to Bridger. But seriously JPB had talent but also had too much smoke blown up him too early, family rifts, social distractions and poor preparations meant that once attempts to step up to the higher levels came along it was already slipping away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tosh1218 592 Posted February 17, 2021 If you read my comments I mentioned “had problems “ that is a past context so I was correct . I hope he does come back as he did have talent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
