no you didn't imply it at all, you flat out stated it...

the question was posed, what is your profession?

you and v8 hunter both answered racing motorcycles

i said i don't think either of you are professional road racers and don't make money doing it, you just do it for fun

you said, after this year i won't be able to say that, stating that after this season you will be a professional road racer and will make money by racing, in other words bring in more from sponsorship and prize money than you spend to do it
