Hard work pays off.

Hello friends and readers.

Recently I have been following the X factor USA and came across a contestant that said these words:

"I am no stranger to hard work...
...hard work makes no excuses.
Hard work shows up everyday.
Hard work might fall down
but Hard work gets up."

I was really fired up by what she said as it struck a chord in me. I sincerely believe that with (smart) hard work and perseverance, all things are possible.

After almost 6 weeks of rest, rehab and "less riding", my back is slowly getting into better shape again. For those of you who are unaware, I have another slipped disk, this time down in the Lumbar spine L5 region. This is the 4th disk now and I really need to start looking after my back. I was really upset when I learnt after doing my MRI that the disk was slipped, which explained the pain, discomfort and weird sensations I have been feeling. While I was shifting to my new studio, it finally gave in.

With this disk slipped, I was also asked to downgrade my PES status in the military. The worse part was to not be able to ride my bike like I use to. I can't really ride hard now. Nonetheless, I am optimistic about recovering and getting healthy again. Right now, I am just focus on rehabilitative treatment and exercises.

Till then, I hope to be back on the bike, riding hard again, burning more rubber.=)
