Only the So Cal desert guys will understand

The "bomb run" at the start of a desert race was actually a stack of burning tires. Oh... and naked chicks scattered about

I use a jack up stand at the track.

I use a hydraulic scissor lift stand in the garage.

I arrange my work diary to allow for a day off or an easy couple of days after a race day Grinning

This is a damn good thread. Seems most vet riders are cosplaying. Think about it. Tongue I'm not making fun of anyone either... I spend way too much money "looking" the part compared to my actual speed.

I got 2nd place in a “retro gear” night at the
local MX track a year or so ago!

The problem was…I did not KNOW that I was a in
“retro gear” night contest and was just wearing my usual/favorite summer weight AXO gear from around 2002-ish!?

Former pro racer Whispern Smith, the only guy
at the track wearing gear older than mine won, except he MEANT to be in “retro gear” wearing some of his old SX gear (and still fitting perfectly!) from the early 90’s!

I tried to play it off like “I meant to do that” except a riding buddy pointed out that I wear the same gear when it’s NOT a retro gear night too!
Oh well…that happy accident awarded a 2nd place prize of 3 nights FREE riding and a good reason to throw down on some new/current riding gear too!

"Tell me you're a vet rider without telling me you're a vet rider."

1. My track warm up consists of unloading my bike and getting dressed.
2. I look forward to bench racing with my moto buds more than doing a moto.
3. My bike is worth more than my truck.
4. My knee braces are older than most riders on the track

hanging with and keeping behind the “fast guys” at the track for a few laps, then you remember you are almost 50 tighten up and have to pull off with total body pump. Then sitting on the tailgate recovering when they cruise by, you give a thumbs up, only for them to realize you’re old and fat and they go back to their pits with head hanging in shame!!

Don't ride in the cold or mud anymore

That last crash was pretty bad. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something.

Friend of mine just put a fresh LS crate engine into an S10, stuff like this definitely sticks out here 😂

Interestingly the LS was from a Marine supplier, not Automotive, it was the best price for one over here short of buying a crashed Monaro and selling the leftovers.

I change my oil using a lift table in my garage, and get arm pump loading the bike into the trailer...
