I'm BAAAAACK!

Now that motorcycle racing season is almost done, hopefully I will be able to make a more meaningful contribution here. At least until next spring!

Get your Streamloaders ready!

Ross,
I knew you raced cycles but do you care to share how serious you are about racing or if your season was successful?

[brian1984_2001]

My brother-in-law used to race motorcross in the Los Angeles area and was pretty successful in the late 1970s.

I wrecked a friend's Kawasaki KE 100 when I was 14 years old and racked myself up pretty bad. That ended any interest I had in motorcycles.

Glad you're back Ross. smile.gif

Well, it is a hobby, and an all-consuming one at that. Season went great, but I am hoping to do better next year. We raced in Vegas last weekend. That was great! I also introduced my racing partner to RMT on the ride back Sat. Night. He is hooked now! I also gave him the address to this board.

The final race is at Infineon (Sears Point) next weekend. I'm serious about it when I am on the track, but really, it is just for fun. I am too old and slow to worry about a career in it. Nothing beats railing around a corner at 100+ MPH though.

:twisted:

Keeps me off the streets!

Very coo!

Have to admit, I just don't have the nerve for that kind of thing.

I used to enjoy daredevil driving, but since I had children, it occurred to me that I might be mortal and probably ought to stop.

Hey Ross

Very cool picture. My heart rate and adrenaline are off the charts. I raced novice in late 85 and 86. I had a Kawasaki GPZ 750 Turbo that had lots of mods done to it. It was a definate sleeper. I never should have sold that bike!! Oh well, very good memories.

I guess forgetting to put those knee things on would be non-habit forming.

i used to ride a yamaha 65 or 80 growing up. i had a few bumps and bruises and landed on my head once. this was all done in some farmer's feilds and gravel pits.
my last experience was as a passenger on my cousin's v-45 0r v-64 or something. we hit a car head-on when she turned in front of us. no helmets. we only got a few bruises. God was keeping us safe. i guess i flew up and over my cousin and landed on the car hood and bounced to the pavement. i think i blacked out or just shut my eyes. the last thing i saw was that car getting closer and closer than i felt that hood and pavement. ouch.
after that, i winced every time i went through an intersection on a bike.
the only bike i ride now is a mountain bike.

i better not let my boys see your picture. they already want a dirt bike.
