I think you're on to something...just looking to stir up some shit. There is no way I think that is real. Can someone be that ignorant?

I really believe this is a topic that needs to be discussed or at least contemplated. Next time before you get on your motorcycle think about "What if". A man should rate his risk.

I would do a five point risk assessment with 5 being dangerous.


Kids? 2 points per kid

Self employed? 2 points

No insurance? 3 points

Over 35? 1/2 point

Over 40? 1 point

Over 45? 3 points

Over 50? 5 points

Wife? 1/2 point

Desk job? 1 point

Physical work? 2 points



So if your over 45, self employed, married, with 2 kids....the total points are 9 1/2...which is almost DOUBLE your allowed 5 points.You should not be allowed to own a motorcycle!


I'm married under 30 with a desk job so my total is....1 1/2. I can race without risk. Anyways it's just a thought.

No one can race or even ride with out risk.

Risk is just part of this sport.

No you can't, race without risk, because I would park your ass and still go to work on Monday. You'll have trouble sitting at your desk, and I am over 40.

John Choate,

Are you over 40?

GlwasB4,

Pay attention to what's in front and quit looking back, you look just as dumb doing it, no matter what your age.

Bigattack, I can appreciate your concern for fellow riders/racers, but I would have just reminded everyone to use their best judgment or something like that.

When I practice at the tracks in my area, I go out with the A riders and can hold my own really well(upper 25%). I run, mtn. bike and eat decently all because of my mx background. If there was no risk, I'd probably get bored with it. Even my kids will tell you if you don't crash once in awhile, you're not pushing yourself hard enough.

It's called "Personal responsibility".

Bigattack must have aspirations to join the CPSC.

this is the way I look at it......no matter what your age you can get hurt in our sport...but you can get hurt playing other sports as well..you can get hurt crossing the street, get hurt getting out of the shower. It is life and we all make choices on what we choose to do and there is RISK in everything we do. Hell sitting in front of the lap top getting fat from lack of exercise while surfing the net all day......is also dangerous to ones health!
Not everyone can live in a bubble nor wants too.

RIDE ON!!!!!!!

Oh screw it.

I turned 40 last year. I'm not even going to bother getting out bed anymore. The world is a dangerous place. Could somebody bring me some food and beer (and maybe some diapers)?

This has to be a fake post. This guy just keeps fishing. I would bet this guy doesn't even own a motorcycle. And his risk factor is way higher if he puts out where he rides, his number on bike and name. I would say you about 100% at risk. Sell your bike, start knitting Nancy so you can be safe with little risk to bottlely injury.

Hey John,

But what should fellow racer do when they see an older guy who is clearing not showing proper judgement? Most old guys never listen....because they are always right. How do we know when were not using proper judgement? How do you not get caught up in the moment of racing? Usually, it's a crash that brings you back to reality and by that time it's too late. Do you leave a note on the guys truck while he is out motoing? Confront him he is being a clueless ass and needs to get off the track? How do you do it?

Not to sound mean or anything, but I guess that isn't our position to pass judgment on his(or hers) skills or lack of.

"Most old guys never listen....because they are always right." A fair number of older people think younger people always think their ways are right. I know my parents used to think that way about me.

I just made a motion to disolve the club......... and we had over 700 members a few years ago.

Vet racing is over 50% of the racing anymore.

We (OTHG) are racing at Rynoland this Sunday for those that want to come and race the track.

If I sold off my dirt sickles I could probably afford to go snow skiing with the Kennedy's or Bono's. How's the snow right now?
