[QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 166590, member: 20280"] I finally did it. It only took me 42 years but I raced for the 1st time ever this weekend. I started riding about 1 1/2 years ago after a 25-year break from motorcycles. Even at that my last bike was a Yamaha 80 enduro I got in 1973. I've always been fascinated with dirtbikes but never gave it much thought until my daughter (at the time 8) wanted to get a bike and ride like McGrath. My first reaction was "who's McGrath?" Eager to please I immediately went out and picked up a couple of dirtbikes before she changed our minds. :silly: At any rate, I raced today in the over 40 class (less riders + more responsibilities = less carnage) and placed 6th over all. Though there were only 8 riders in my class, I was the only one on a 125. I had no problem passing in the corners and on the jumps but it's tough to keep up with those V-8 diesels (426's) on the straights'. It was cool to hear the announcer comment that Gilbert was ripping up dirt and taking names. I could get use to this. I think that racing this class my first time was the best choice for me even if I was out machined and ridden, at least I didn't have to worry about getting landed on.:cool: Can't wait to do it again! I think I can place better next time even if I'm the only one on a 125. [/QUOTE]
