How much do you actually ride now?

Just curious because many Pros I know don’t ride at all now that they left the sport.

I do listen to the show, almost every week. Must have missed that part....its a long show and sometimes gets uninteresting (to be fair, admittedly it has been tough to have good content during Covid). I do like listening to JT$ though, so I'm surprised I missed that part.

Some people like being jerks. Especially on the internet.

Makes them feel good about themselves somehow. Sad.

I wouldn't answer, because if he doesn't or doesn't ride enough to someone's expectation, then they'll just discount his opinion from then on out.

Smells like bait to me

Said he was really busy and joked that he would ride if someone delivered the bike and then took it away after so he wouldn't have to wash it. Either that or he didn't have enough Engine Ice. One or the other. That was a good show BTW.

No bait!

Some Ex-Pros just don’t have time to ride just like others in the real world.
Some Ex-Pros have spent so much time on a bike they really don’t care about seeing a bike again.

Then there are Ex-Pros like Windham and RV2, who seem to make time for riding.

Since JT$ is everywhere and seems like he is working 70 hours a week, I was curious if he still rides.

Funny SD851 in my avatar won the 40+ Washougal LL Qualifier and second O/A was............ Jason Thomas.

Thought it maybe was the real JT$, but Scott said this one was once a local SoCal Pro.

Dude rode a handful of times in the last two years on the "slowest" of the 450's and would absolute destroy 99% of the message board.
