It looks like about 1200 miles between Austin and Buchanan.........................if one were to wish for that outcome.

There are folks in Flint Michigan cheering at this moment.......................except for a couple guys named Jared and Bryan. Vale can do the same on his race bike as well.................. WTH ??

TomZ Added a reply to 6D helmet users

TP has been in a 6D for a couple months. He has had some nice things to say about the helmet. He is perhaps most uniquely qualified to appreciate helmet safety. The fact that he chose 6D speaks volumes. TP has a lot to protect these days and is very conscious of brain safety.....please save the funnies about his activities...

TomZ Added a reply to Kettlebell training good for low back issues?

8/25/2014 6:31am
Develop solid core strength before you start swinging kettlebells. Knees to elbows, bicycles, V-Sit, mountain climbers etc are all great core exercises. I have seen too many people who watched a YouTube video on kettlebell workouts and injured their lower back as a result. You see Tomac and Ryno doing a workout and think that it is the way to...

You guys just don't understand.................DC and Co. have ordered specific weather at specific locations and the new schedule is set up around that. You need to see the big picture. DC isn't much of a spa guy but he orders up at least one mud race per year and uses that as the moto version of a mud bath/exfoliation. The...

TomZ Added a reply to TC41 - Wearing 2 Pair of Goggles?

8/18/2014 5:50pm
Funny thing....I saw him toss a pair goggles just after the finish line and took note of the fact that he didn't stop at the mechanics area but came past again with goggles on........I didn't figure out the two goggle set up right away. Apparently it worked. I went back to the truck, put on my helmet and two pair...
I raced the Vet race that weekend and beat Chuck Sun......... I try not to let the fact that his Husaberg broke, get in the way of a good story. Jeff was hauling at that point. Good memories. Funny that Dan Gosen's name came up yesterday, that is who I was traveling with. We hooked up with Posten and had...

Spoke to Dan Gosen Thursday. Was one of my very best racing friends (and remains so today). He is a haul ass bicycle racer these days. We did a lot of traveling together back then. Dan was a Wednesday Night Club (Mustang Acres)member. Dan kept his bike at our house for a long time. It is totally fair to say...

TomZ Started a new thread MXA - Loretta Lynn's

8/4/2014 3:03pm
The Loretta Lynn's amateur national is unquestionably the biggest motocross event this week and perhaps one of the biggest motocross events of the year for core motocross folks. Based on MXA claiming they are the core moto mag..........doesn't it seem odd that there isn't a mention on their website this week about LL ?? No results, no mention that there...

Please don't do what EHR has suggested as it will cause you to miss all the fun that happens to the folks that do follow that advice................. The flowery hat would be a nice touch though. That may be enough to land you in a magazine(or at least on a moto website).

Please keep in mind that I didn't suggest in depth coverage....... How about a mention, maybe some results, perhaps a mention about a strong SoCal kid. MXA features results from REM nearly every week. I agree with another post that said Jody is legendary. He is in many respects a legend. As a kid we patterned our dialogue after much...

To be very clear, my intention wasn't a bash. I fully recognize that each publication has it's own agenda (and resources). They have to choose carefully what they dedicate those resources to cover. My point was that there wasn't even a mention of the California kids that rode well, the Bakersfield boys, a summary of results each day, nothing....... It...

Yes I subscribe and visit the website 1-2 times per week. Not sure that qualifies and regular. Have been a Jody fan for the most part since I was young.
Hey Mike....I think you rode Great Lakes Grand Prix at Otsego both years correct ?? I believe there was 74 guys entered in 45+ class the 2nd year. Yep Michigan has some serious turnout for vet guys at the big races. Great fun !! Great spirit among the racers as well.
500Guy.....did you just mention mature and motocross racer in the same sentence ?? I completely understand your point. You hurt my feelings and many others by suggesting that we are doofers with amnesia. I don't have .......... what were we talking about again ?
I wish more people viewed the event that way. I have been very lucky to line up with some superstar riders at various events over the years. I say line up with only because somewhere during the 1st lap the "racing with" part ended. The great aspect of LL is the whole vibe throughout the week. I just don't think...
I think the point isn't so much that spectators want to see 50+ year old guys race as much as it is that a strong group of 50+ year old guys still enjoy going racing. Is there anything wrong with that ?? Should the story end at 50 years old and you just have to sit and watch the world...
