Im 67, rode MX in the 70s, stopped dirt riding for 45 years, then started again a few years ago. Took a DRZ400 to a Mx track…twas a mistake…for the bike, not for me. Looking for a used 250 to return.
Yes it’s a drug and age doesn’t cure it. I rode Mt Mee state Forrest today on my 890r and I am ready to go tomorrow for another ride but probably won’t because of the weekend warriors. I’m 65 in August and can still mix it with the young guys and some. The only thing that slows me a bit these days is remembering my last big crash of notability, 15 years ago resulting in some broken bones. I realise I won’t heal as good any more. I plan to ride dirt about another 10 years hopefully and then will succumb to black top. Live the dream!
@@oldmanspeedadventures I just sold my 2021 Ninja 1000 sx because i was bored with riding the same old roads . It was a beautiful bike to ride but my true love is riding dirt. I did 9000k on it and enjoyed it. The problem was that i was only enjoying it when pushing it along way too fast for public roads. High end road bikes these days are so amazing to ride but are actually to capable because of tyre technology, brakes and adjustable suspension, and frames that dont flex. They are just a weapon straight out of the box compared to the old clunkers we used to ride.
Great Mate!- I still ride at 60 too!- on an o3 Yz and an 89 CR. WE Are a Live but Dyin breed 80's Mx'rs. Ace vid. Looking out for Ya! Godbless your style mate!
I stopped racing in 1997. I just bought my first bike in over 25 years, 2024 CRF450RL. I am 55 years old and I love it! Unfortunately for my girlfriend, I'm already looking to get a race bike and get back out on the track! LETS GOOOOOOO !!!!!!
