About Me
I am a life long successful entrepreneur, retired at 40 got restless and started another business then retired again at 50. Now investments, MX racing and chasing MX events and woman around the globe is my life! Smile MX since 72 multi time A-class and most recently 05 +30 champ. I now ride in the 40 and 45B classes in District 23.

I never had the urge or talent to try to turn pro but have had lots of fun anyway. Raced with my kids for many years, my son and daughter are both D-23 A-class and womens champs. I still practice 3X week on my private track and race most weekends. In the winter i live with my girlfriend in Brasil and try to ride there each winter. The pic is of me on my 09 YZ450 in June 2010, love it!

Actually i think that it is a testament to how much talent is coming up now. Several rookies in the last few years have won in their first year so its not really any news to see yet another super talented kid come up. Heck last year Dungey "could have" said he would win races and been correct plus he...

4/16/2016 6:13pm
I raced with a 25 yr old guy this summer (winter) in Brasil that also has no right arm below his elbow and he is the "national class" champion!~ Its kinda strange but in Brasil the National class is all 250 honda 4 stk's that are air/oil cooled, right side up forks and steel tanks etc. They are still being...

[quote="BAMBAMM13":1e8fj2in]I don't think DV12 likes four strokes all that much. He is one of the few who seems to really know how to ride a smoker right in SX (mx too). I don't remember the smokers having alot of flame out, burping or the bogging issues that the four strokes have seemed to have (is my memory that bad guys?)...

[quote="OldTiddler":2fmm7hh4]Wow, all those dudes really did run west to get away from Ryan.This will be an interesting series though, wonder how Izzi, Hackley and Canard will do[/quote:2fmm7hh4] Yes lots of new guys for sure but not really all that deep as far as top level speed goes. A boring runaway for first i am afraid with the other two top...

Yes he has lots of time on a 450 here in MN.and is damn fast or faster than on a 250. I would love to see it happen no matter what. Heck he could get hurt just practicing so what? It would add some exitement to the series and also Ryan would love the idea and that in itself is...

Calling an idea or decision of the man stupid is, well you figure it out I am quite certain that Roger has weighed all the options and possibilities. Keep in mind he is the most respected man in the sport and does very few things regarding racing that are stupid.. If RD rides and wins you guys will say it...

[quote="harescrambled":1zwa9ata][quote="wardy":1zwa9ata] oh wieght what have they done in the last 5=7 years, made the motors out of aluminum, i am sure they did this because it's cheaper then cast iron. But rather because it won't last the stresses like a cast motor will. (my comparisons mainly pertain to full size pick up trucks). anyway this four stroke stuff in the...
