When your brand new 1987 CR125R is still remembered as the bike that broke the mold on all bikes before it. That bike was magic on wheels.

When I went in for my knee (ACL) and they took x-rays of both knees to start... And noted the damage my "good" knee had.

My knee doctor "looking at the x-rays I thought it was your left knee we'd be talking about not the right"

The only thing you are “sending” is a text saying you’re on the way home.


You remember what it’s like to foul a spark plug on the starting line

The other riders at the track call you “Sir” ."…… when you see a mailbox # and remember the guy you raced 25 years ago with that #, but can’t remember what your wife said to you at dinner last nite…

When you remember moving up your shocks using Poppy body Konis. Gary Jones was winning nationals. You lined up next to a CZ and a Bultaco, but a Maico gets the holeshot. You started with a rubber band start. Metzler for hard-pack and Trelleborg for soft tracks. You had hair on your head. You watched ABC's Wide World of Sports when they broadcasted the Carlsbad GP while playing CCR in the background. I could go on and on lol.
