Might be unpopular, but you don’t care about graphics. Miss the stock looking factory bikes. Less is more! 707101EE-6CA0-40E3-8886-FC5879291FB1

And along with those, I also rode Carlsbad, Lions, El Toro Speedway night mx, Bay Mare, Muntz, 395 Cycle Park, Riverside Raceway, Altamont, Salinas Sand Pit, Marysville (yes, I know they still ride there but this was in the late 60's), Carnegie, I even trail rode a bunch at Baldwin Hills off La Cienega (try that now), and I also raced in Mineral Virginia, Appalachia Lake WV, Big Berm, Md., a very early version of Budds Creek, MD., and Bausum Farm, MD., in District 7, and yes, of course, CZ Rules!  and Maico Breako, but I got nothing for you on a track at the foot of Terminal Island Bridge.  

Oh yeah, I remember seeing Magoo land on someone at the Coliseum Supercross while riding a...Penton/KTM if I remember correctly.  What year was that?

The track at Terminal Island was called Cycle Haven. Cool and fun track. Never heard of it till a friend at the races told us about it so we had to try it out. Here is a pic from back then.

When you have to psyche yourself up to throw a leg over the bike... Physically not mentally.

Things don't bend like they used to and I swear seats and rear fenders are at an all time high 😂

You change your mind from "It's OK to finance an MX bike" to "If you can't afford to pay cash for a bike and 100 acres to ride it on, you can't afford it."

I took a nap at the track once between practices on my expensive reclining chair.

Uh, ya I resemble that remark.  Hell, I can't make it through the main events in SX without dozing off half the time - even on east coast time zone races.....Granted, its usually because I'm tired as hell from riding earlier in the day.  still......

For me, knowing I was officially was in the vet rider club was this year. Not only turning 30, but focusing more on the set up at the track lol. Buying a bike with true KYB a kit, the rocker chair and an ego fan is when I realized I have become an official member.
