Am I missing something 'ere? I get the impression that Stu knows a little more background around your current level of riding Chris than I do.

If thats the case and there's a lot more practice required then fair enough, keep plugging away at it. But otherwise I would seriously consider getting out there and racing. Unless you are some hidden Rossi talent you'll be at the back but it still helps and you'll still learn. More importantly you'll love it!
