Ernie Williams is a New Zealand motorcycle racer nearing his eighties. In his day he was world class, but his wife was terrified that he'd go to Europe to race and die pushing his guts out to win. They had a young family and Ernie chose them over the possibility of becoming a world champion. He continued to race on home soil and beat many of the Kiwis who came home with world titles in Moto-x and road racing. Some years later his wife passed away, far too young, and his children drifted away from him leaving him to wonder, to regret, not having gone.
