[QUOTE="Fred T, post: 111346, member: 22413"] [b]Not racing but....[/b] I started riding bikes when I was about 12. I had a Ruttman mini bike and graduated to a Honda 50. Bought my first real bike, a Kaw 125 when I was 16 and rode my first Enduro in 1974 at age 19. I made it all the way to A class and placed 2nd Dist 14 200 A class in 1978. Rode enduroes until age 29. Sold my bike and took 17 years off for raising family, busy with my job and getting fat. I just bought a new Kaw KDX this spring and have ridden it about 7 times already -it's like being reborn again! I've lost 15 pounds! I am a much happier person and never realized how much riding meant to me. I probably will not race anymore, but enjoy organized event rides like the MI CCC and dicing it up with my riding buddies I've found here on DRN. I'm 46 now and just too concerned about getting hurt racing to try it again not to mention the costs of it all. Racing is expensive as you all know. I am too much of a competator to race and not win so I would just get discouraged like I did when I quit 17 years ago and was not winning 1st every race becasuse I was too busy with family and work to stay in shape and practice. I am just happy to be on a bike again! [/QUOTE]
