Gypsy Tales

Nick Romano was supposed to be the next big thing. Dominant amateur career, factory Star Racing Yamaha deal at 14, and the speed to win. Then a crash on a test track broke both his arms before his supercross debut. What followed was years of injuries, setbacks, and a career most people thought was over. He never quit. Then Mitch Payton called and gave him a chance to rebuild his career at Pro Circuit Kawasaki. Nick is only 21 years old. His story is just being written.This is Nick Romano's full story. From Star Racing to going privateer to earning a Pro Circuit Kawasaki ride the hard way.Enjoy Chapter 395 Ft.
