[QUOTE="simimi, post: 138960, member: 21039"] [b]In a similar situation[/b] I began riding about a year ago. Started with a dual sport Suzuki 650, then went to an XR400 and then wanted to race Vet MX. I got a YZ400 and loved the bike on the track but it was not as smooth, or comfortable on the trails. My injuries started about a month ago. First on the track, then jumping, then during a race. I had never gotten more than a small scrap while trail riding but the racing got more and more intense. I was clearing 60ft table tops and most doubles. I was having fun, but getting hurt. Now I am sitting home with a broken tibia. I agree, a few hours of fun for a few weeks of pain is not worth it. I am 39 and also have a home, family and career. I am not ready to stop riding, but I do realize I must limit my risks. Riding in a race with 20 other slow old guys all trying to go fast is not low on the risk scale. I am really thinking hard about going back to a *trail* bike. My XR400 with stiffer springs was great. Easy to start, maintain and ride. Air cooled, pulled like a goat, could not beat it. There is an XR-DR in my future, just not sure which one. Does anyone know if the latest Dr's are Green stickered for California? I would probably want the dirt model, not the dual sport one. Mike [/QUOTE]

Which ocean is California closest to?
