Thanks Brian. There was always faster guys than myself, but I did manage to win some 125 and 250A D16 races before I hung it up for the better part of my 20’s. We raced for fun and didn’t have the same opportunity as many. Could’ve absolutely done better with what I had, though. Tony is correct about our bikes. Aaron was on a completely stock bike. Mine has an exhaust and stiffer springs. I’ve raced outside of D16 four times before this year since starting in ‘91, so 10th is like a win for me. Appreciate you guys tuning...

Bought the 51st edition of the YZ250 (2025 yz250) for my up coming 50th birthday. I have been bike less since selling my cr500's a few years ago.. I told myself someday... Well that day was yesterday :-) I will bring her home next week. Shoutout to Jay Clark for reminding us men of a certain age, that there is nothing better than 30 min motos and working on your bike in the garage while listening to some jams. Life is short, Braaaap it!!!

Sorry for granny photo. it's a photo I took off a paused video. 1969, First bike a 1957 Triumph Tiger Cub. 1971, Second bike a 1965 Honda CB160. Street not a dirt bike but tried to make it one.

I got you beat. In 1973 my first year racing MX I raced a 1958 BSA Goldstar 500 with right side shifting and then a 73 Suzuki TM250 on the same day. Was as different as you could get.

Post pandemic inflation has caused the prices of EVERTHING (for the most part) to go up, world wide, leaving less disposable income for hobbies like MX. I don't blame that necessarily on the manufacturers... what do they have to with the prices of your groceries going up. And lets not forget, its 2024, and alot of 25-30 year old guys have a $1200 smart phone in their pocket, pay for various streaming subscriptions, have an expensive gaming system at home, expensive pick up truck, weekends drinking with the boys, Onlyfans subscriptions (LOL) that guys like me didn't have 25 years...

A few vital friends said i should start a new thread based off a post i made this evening in this thread. https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/The-Hurricane-calls-out-… This track is balls breaking rough. With no triples or anything resembling an SX track, Hannah is able to beat the locals. The locals however look pretty damn good in their own right. To me, this is real MX. A natural whooped out track that looks like it gets groomed maybe once a year. Enjoy. P.S....how cool would it be if Gauldy and The Newf were commentating this race eh?

my dad was in this race, I’ll post some pictures tomorrow. It was really cool to watch this with him this afternoon. That track, on those bikes, would be incredibly brutal might even make a guy like profeshenal break a sweat 😂😂 It reminds me of mabton
