Didn't realize you knew so much about me to make a claim like this. I said I had a string of concussions when I was a kid, not that I had concussion problems. You are assuming it would put me and my family in a bind without having a single clue about my finances. That's a big reason why it's...

Do it, at 33 you are still a young pup.

I get that whole heartedly. I think that's the thing I'm struggling with the most. I have a wife and 3 kids to think about first. Financially, I'll be fine. It's the time sacrifice I worry about. With that said, this sport is all I've ever know and honestly, I am autistic and have a deep rooted attachment to this...
I went through a similar decision about 10 years ago up here in Canada. Finally got in a spot it was financially feasible, best shape of my life and thought about trying to go for a Pro license, and see if I could qualify for a National (Canadian, not US lol). For me, I weighed the time commitment (I woul of had to give up most other hobbies to go around racing), and financial commitment, and in the end, decided it wasn't worth it for me, and I'm happy with my decision. That being said, if your heart and mind...

Do it and try to enjoy every minute of the journey, the good and the bad. Over half the battle was getting your wife on board. 😂

If you had any idea the screen name I'm hiding behind... this isn't a stretch really. I'm one of the fastest local A riders since I was a teenager. It was just never a focus of mine until lately. My plan is to get the license and take that to go do a couple rounds every year until I'm too...
Chasing the dream at a certain age is like the dog chasing the car. What's your plan if you catch it? That's not to say don't do it, but if you are constrained by resources, time, or talent - you have to be very intentional in your process. I'd advise you to try to win a local race first, and go from there.

7/15/2025 1:53pm Haarup is only here because he aged out of the 250 class for MXGP and Triumph didn't have the 450 ready. Anyone saying he should stay here next year compared to going to race 450 at the world level has regional bias. Maybe he is enjoying his time here and possibly even wants to stay but like others have said...

Nah...you crossed the line...100% of modern society now recognizes alcoholism as a disease and your comment is just too offensive - to anyone who has or hasn't ever taken a drink.

It's okay to be an alcoholic. Honestly, I don't understand how anyone who works a 9-5 job isn't an alcoholic.

No major story. Just I was with my family and a friend at Red Cow (a restaurant) next to Saint Mary’s Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The whole Triumph crew was at the table next to us. He had 3 tall draft beer’s.

I think I was more impressed by Haarup, simply because he hammered 3 beers at the table next to me Friday night before Saturday’s race 😂. Either way way to go Triumph though!

I don't think I was really asking anything, but the response so far was what I was looking for. I'm going to go for it. Maybe make a youtube channel out of it to help support it financially. I'll come back here to update as I go. I'm not looking for attention as much as the mental support to go...
If you’ve got the support from your wife, have the financial means to do it and the desire, hell yeah go for it. It’s your life, you’ll regret it in a few years when you’re physically unable to give it a shot. Grab life by the balls and go have some fun.

At 34 and after a pretty serious/expensive return to racing, I found out racing doesn't mean as much to me as it did when I was a teenager. Doing well and making improvements didn't really move the needle for me like I thought it would. Just depends on what's important to you.
