Not a single thread? Not very core...

She did a story last race on a rider who came on here to find some help. A vital member quit his job and travel here from i can't remember to help him out. The rider couldn't pay him but said he tries to buy him dinner when he can. Cool story. Wish I could remember the riders name.

I think it was this gentleman, Josh Greco. His retro Kawi looked killer as well!

I was going to start a post but thought someone must have beat me to it, yes its Josh Greco with the handlebar moustache!, lives in his van from race to race.

But what was cool, and again i still can not believe anyone did'nt say anything, was Jenny said he posted on Vitalmx.com looking for a mechanic, and Johnny Evans a engineer said he would quit his job here in England, and go mechanic for Josh for FREE as Josh could'nt afford to pay him, except sometimes buying him Dinner!.

What an awesome story that is, really made me smile, & thats a story that needs to be published for the Moto community haters to read!.

Good luck Josh & Johnny!.

It was awesome getting the coverage this weekend they did to show just a small part of my season , Jonny flew over to help at no cost and he's been great help all season doing all the bike work and maintenance . He's actually probably had to do more work on the van when we've been broken down on the side of the road lol. But he will have some good stories when he goes home . He's an awesome dude and a good mechanic and rider as well I wish I was able to have him for outdoors but he has to fly home .

That is one cool story Josh! Best of luck to you on the rest of the season. And huge props to Jonny for coming over and helping you out. Maybe he'll chime in here?

I heard Vital mentioned as well and was looking for a thread. I couldn't remember who they were talking about so cool to see Josh Greco chime in.

Good luck to you sir.
