3/4/2006 9:15 AM LOL - probly not - that's what makes this place bearable.
BTW - what's the best inner tube. Should I use a heavy duty one or a regular one. I hear the regular one is lighter and will make me go faster. If I use a heavy duty in my back tire and a regular in my front tire, will that make me wheelie? X-Ray tables are always too cold. |

3/4/2006 10:56 AM I love talking about the old days. Over 30 years later and I still can remember certain sections of old tracks, how it felt to take a particular turn or jump. When I smell damp freshly turned dirt I can literally look down and see my boots, like walking the track on a Sunday morning.I still dream about riding. The one where you can wheelie as long as you want, even around corners. Or the one where I go off a jump and just keep going up.
I miss my friends from those days. The one's who shared my obsession with anything with two wheels and motor. The early mornings headed to a race, laughing at the old poops out on the golf course, swearing we'd never be like that. Having the kid at the gas station ask us, "you going to a hillclimb?". Heading home and rehashing how we'd done that day, eating in cheap diners with much of the dirt of the day still on our faces. Going to all forms of races, Peoria TT, Indie Mile, Trans-AMs, Daytona and all the adventures you get into when you're 21 and going places with like minded buddies. Talking about our hero's, from Gary Nixon, Dick Mann and Kenny Roberts to Lackey, Jones, Aberg and Desoto. I miss the way it used to be. When it wasn't so "main stream", it was our thing, we were special. The frontier days of a new sport. You'd go to a race and there'd be 8 or 9 different brands of bike competing. You could tell what kid of bike it was at 100 yards even if you were color blind, sometimes by the sound. You could stand in the pits and see the riders up close. I still like the races, but it ain't the same. That's why I come here. To bench race, to feel, just a little, like I used to feel. You young guys can laugh all you want, but believe me it happens quicker than you think. Anyway, sorry to ramble, I get this way late at night. Thanks for the room Guyb. s:D s:D |

JPT: how cool is it that your nostalgic writings can so mirror my own, and I'm sure many other old guys? Consider we live thousands of miles away, in different countries and rode different tracks, it all is somehow that same. It's a privalage to be involved in such a lifestyle with so many really great people!  Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Indian! |

Thanks for the room Guyb. s:D s:D Man, you really hit a nerve.....I too can reall htose old days, where no one knew what moto was. It was cool, doing our own thing, beinga rebel in alot of ways and always looking for ways to make our bike a bit better or to hold up through a mud race. I had alot of good freinds who I wonde where they are and if they love it as much as I do. I recall ditching high school and getting my buddies Bultaco 175 and going riding. he is passed away now. I recall setting up a high school MX team and helping arrange it in our whole state, and even having a race against high schools! I recall getting a teacher to sponsor it who had no clue what moto was and said, "sure"...AND.........you are SO right...it comes faster than you think.......you will be racing the O40 class in no time! Thanks for the memories! |

Even did a hillclimb once. Gave up on enduros after a couple of those midwest mudfests. Too much hard work. Things weren't so specialized and there was a lot less seperation between the fans of the various genre's. Fun times. |
