When a late 80s bike seems like a recent model in your mind…then you do the math…😂
When you looked at the monoshock and thought "...pfffft that'll never work... "
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.
When you’re no longer hitting the big jumps & risking it.
As the younger generation says now “sending it”.
When everyone asks you why you're limping but you didn't know you were.
You know what blendzall smells like.
When you know 32:1, 40:1 & 50:1 ratios right off the top of your head when you’re adding oil at the gas pump. 🤣
If you ever wore a kidney belt.
"how would you describe the level of pain?" "oh just the usual amount."
My knee doctor "looking at the x-rays I thought it was your left knee we'd be talking about not the right"
I literally lol’d at this. How true it is! 🤣
Here’s another…
When you have a good enough rapport with your doctor to call him an asshole for making that cortisone shot extra painful….
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
Bending down to buckle your boots takes mental preparation
Pit Row
Playing Guano Apes on the way to the track
When you’re having your morning coffee scrolling Vital with ice on two different body parts from a fall you would’ve barely noticed a couple decades ago
When your talking at the the track about ‘Full floater’ and the kids think your talking about the quad
You remember riding your dirtbike to 7-11 to fill it up.
When you hear the word.. Elsinore...your ears perk up..
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 show up to the Orthopedic DR to see why your knee randomly pops out, and they go through your 20 page rap sheet of past injuries to find an old MRI.
When Carrera goggles and a Jofa was the hottest thing to have.
If your KTM was a Penton
When geritol, bengay, and glucosimine take up more shelf space than premix.
When your least favorite rider is “that disrespectful punk” Haiden Deegan
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.
