Just accepted six (6) more boxes of old Cycle News/ Racer X/ Dirt Bike/Dirt Rider rags. My wife’s not near as excited about this, as you and me……

Well… I don’t run race gas and hate Bud light and tomato juice. Tongue

Well, at least I can do the jumps still and I actually ride the piss out of my bikes.

But yeah… I’m guilty ! But in all fairness, when we get to be older and able to throw money at what we like to do, we do it. Some buy fancy golf clubs or expensive cigars, others buy shit for whatever they are into.

Other than my MTB and snowboard, I really have nothing else to do with my time. Lol
Snowboard has 3 years of dust on it, BTW.

For the guys bagging on the CVs some how i’ve managed to acquire two sets now and might be silly enough to try the TRAX next!

I just do hard starts, nonstop. I like the cement. Wears out the bike good! Corners, ruts, jumps, you just sit there and gas it, who cant do that?

I will do that someday! I retire from my current job in 7 years then I’m hitting the road. That’s the plan anyway and the wife is on board, actually her idea, that’s half the battle!

My uncle just sent me this pic. I'd never seen it before. Not sure who took the photo. If you look at that pic longer than you did when you saw Tomac on a Yamaha, you're a vet.

Yup! Before the sun comes up...I'll be on the road (from Redding @ around 3 am) and on my way to Mitch's shop & Murietta to drop off some "last minute" special lightweight uber-trick & mega-zoot parts just in time for A1.

I'm getting to the point where this "time of year" cuts into my "Winter Wonderland Riding Time" so much that 'my A1' will be fitting some parts on some bikes on Friday...yes...Friday & then I'll go riding during the day on Saturday (on my 125!) and watch the race Saturday evening...at the beach with cocktail in hand. My priorities are changing...I guess.

I'm pretty sure my 1st SX this year will be Oakland. Then maybe we Off-Road to PHX...?

I bought a trailer to have AC when it's hot because I hate sweating just putting gear on. I also have heat but that doesn't matter because if it's under 50 screw that it's too cold. I've done it enough to know I'm over that. If it's a mudder I'll also pass because it's not worth the cleanup.

Your sponsors are older than you are . . .


You still race the 100 class . . .


Your pants are made out of cowhide . . .


You still race with a kidney belt with buckles, work boots and no gloves . . .
