At 55 3/4 a lot of the body is mangled. I requested a release from 3 months of pt. In the last yr I shrunk 1.5 inches lower back etc is not so good. I still rode a few times during pt I figured I hv a few big injuries . I Can’t get hurt much worse. I rode like I didn’t care about getting hurt or dying. I tell you what you can b pretty fast then. Live Life wo while you can. My retired pals said you need to start slowing down your funny and stuff but too wild. I tried that around 52 wow that is boring . It’s best just to b yourself. You do get a bit of grief if your chic is 29 yrs younger tho. I just say mind your own bees wax. Jealous or what ?
You need a Viagra sponsor? It helps...ya know, @ 55 3/4...when her gate drops at night, you need to ride like the devil is breathing down ya ol buttocks...you can't take all night to do what ya used to do all night....sprint laps until the finish. Not suprised your low back hurts....all that suffering, she gotta be worth it. You take first prize mate.

57 here.

Dont race as much as i would like, due to helping out at events, and spending 10 years racing in mainland Europe catching up financially...

Physically i am fine, arm pump is my biggest issue these days, oh and blowing out of my arse after 3 laps, but other than that, i am good.

But i will be racing Farliegh Castle Vets Des Nations this weekend, and off to Belgium next month for my 20th go at Mettet Superbiker Supermoto race.

Next year is a toss between sell up , or race a proper series again.. i feel that the decision will not be made by me, but by circumstance.

54, knee is shot, back is a mess and my hip constantly hurts. Getting old sucks, paying for all the stupid shit I did earlier in my life. Imagine what Pastrana is going to feel like when he turns 50.

So what I’m seeing in this thread…is that this forum is going to be dead in about the next 15-20 years…when all us old farts start dying. Lol

Where all the young people at? Forums only for old people?? The young people stay on instagram and TikTok these days or what?

THE SENILITY PRAYER

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, The good fortune to bump into the ones I do, And the eyesight to tell the difference.....

Motocrossers are the only group of people who claim they are older and not younger Whistling we all do it so we can ride the next older age class. Most 30 year olds claim they are still in their late 20s but most 29 year old MXers claim to be 30 and you all know we do it.Laughing

Marriage and kids were the best thing ever in my life!!!

Fuck!
While BMSOB is on timeout I think I have seniority. 69. Cant ride anymore but I loved to ride even though I was no goddam good at it.
If we are talking registered Vitards, EI Dave probably has me and BMSOB beat.
