Suzuki if it’s lower hours and cleaner. They’re bullet proof and cheap to modify. Exhaust ecu and suspension set for you , you’ll be rolling.

I am rooting for the entire EV movement to fail. Not for any reason other than the ultimate success of EV will result in the inability to use any vehicle that runs on gasoline. And the ultimate success will require government interference. I foresee not only the elimination of manufacturers being ALLOWED to sell new gas powered vehicles, but the banning of the use of the vehicles already owned. Each purchase of an EV is a vote to do away with gas vehicles. It’s also a vote against the sport you love. I am one of an enormous segment of...

I took around 9 years off and started back at age 29. Took about 60 riding hours to get comfortable again and about 100 hours plus going to the gym to get in shape. I race local around my house races in 25 and 450 expert. My friends like to give me shit that I take it too serious. There just jealous they can't buy a good work ethic. Best advice is don't listen to the lazy ass haters who are jealous.

Spot on!

This IS the American corporate way in a lot of cases. I have an elderly friend who built an amazing furniture mfg business in over a 50 year span. Once him and his partner got into their 70's it was starting to really weigh on them so they decided to sell the companies since their kids cared nothing about carrying on their legacy and just wanted the money. The main staple company is,.....WAS,.. very high end products and the corporation that bought them out pretty much forced the older craftsmen workers who had been there for years out by pay...

In his case it may be, female emotionalism. He's fallen victim to the slow castration of today's society.

As an almost 50+ rider, definitely get in shape and ride. I pretty much feel like I only exercise regularly so riding is safer and more fun. I don't race because I don't want to spend $50-100 to sit around all day, but being able to ride 30 minute motos, even at my old slow pace is enjoyable on practice days.....and one thing to remember, many of the guys you used to race kept racing and are still the same age as you and faster. But the vet class should be much safer than local B. A 16 year old...

I like the way you think.

Boom

Holy shit..haha ya honestly man the ultimate goal would be to win a local 450B moto. For some that seems silly and setting the bar low but to me B riders are pretty quick. A riders are cut from a different cloth. I'll never be able to get that fast no matter how hard I try. But if I can be competitive in B class I'd be so pumped. I just wanna be able to look back one day and be proud of my performance. A close friend growing up has dozens of 1st place trophies and I had 1...

Get in shape and go racing! If you feel your fitness is good, then you can focus on speed. If your fitness sucks, it makes pushing the envelope a little more risky. Get in shape, hang it out, and go have a fun day at the races with your family! As a father of 3, it makes for a fun time. Both my wife and I still race, not many moms of 3 racing these days.
