My family ran 3 oval tracks in NoCal, scrambles were ran as I watched as a 4yr old. All I've ever known is racing. All I ever want to do is race. So far I've raced a ton of stuff and since I'm 53 today, looking forward to my next race as passionately as my first. Be safe and go race

46 years going to MX, 42 years riding myself. Started on a new 1974/75 Honda XR75 at 4.

Short curcuit, speedway, on road, MX, and now offroad. Oh, and Quads off road. Plus a hand full of Honda Oddssey's

Trials next.

I'm 54 so going to the races I'd say 55 years, my dad raced flattrack. Riding 48 of those, probably 38 of those regularly, the other 10 sporadic between cars, girls, children. Racing off and on probably 20 of those, never very serious. I always had other sports I was more serious about, motorcycles are the only one that has survived the entire time, severely ADD.

Take the top 25% of the most knowledgeable here and I would put them up against any other group, including any segment of the industry. Certainly not some specifics but I think this board probably has a wider range. I've met and worked with a lot of people in the various industries I've been involved in that don't have a clue beyond a very narrow segment.

First dirtbike was an old Suzuki 50 I had to push start with the fenders stapled together when I was 10. Way back in 1990. Got a 92 RM80 in 94 and been hooked ever since! Love this sport!

57 years and 3 months. According to my Mum, I was conceived at a multi day event in October 1959.

I would think there will be a fair few here that can count their 'outdoors' life and their gestation period, for a total time of at least going to races.Woohoo
