125-200cc Who's the Oldest?

I'm 50 and as long as I don't have to read small print while I am riding I am as good as I ever was! Seems like it is the younger guys that head back to the truck first.

I raced with Helmut this year in vintage MX, and a 6 hr hare scramble. He's 77 and did the 6 hr solo

There's another guy in our club who runs only the natural terrain MX tracks, and I believe he's 80 now.

I'm 51 and race at least 2, and sometimes 3 classes.

I'm 51 and decided to give racing a try as a challenge to my old self. Did a hare scramble last spring. Lots of fun and will do more. Skipped work yesterday with buddy and we rode 60 miles of woods.

Pull a little bit more oil out of the forks-much easier on the hands and shoulders.

im constantly being compared to "a nine year old" and being told to act my age.

53 going on 12?

54 and beat to bits !!! shoulder seems to get worse every ride and my knees creak and groan something awfull first thing in the morning while trying to get to the bathroom for yet another pee as old age seems to have removed all blader control lol
Had the worst race year ever and ended up 19th but did skip two events and the weather was my worst enemy as every ride was knee deep mud and clag and I spent more time pulling the 144 out of holes and deep ruts than riding it
Did better when riding quad events and actually managed a 2nd place and I was well chuffed with that, although I did nearly pass out from dehydration at the finish

badass shot johnny

Wow looks like I'm the baby here. 43 yr old MXer A class try to race at least once a month. Run +30A and +40, leave the kids alone now. No ACL's left, broke both collarbones and scapulas, leg several times, elbow, T4, 5, 6, redid T6. Sure I forgot a few... Hope my big injury ticket never comes up but I know I'm asking for it. Just can't quit and only a gatedrop scratches the itch properly. Good wife will feed me and wheel me around if the big one slaps me down......

Here I come Lorretta Lynn's '13 +40 expert. 12 years 2 kids and a wife since the last time I tried, gonna go for fun on the tiddler!!

May the force be WITH US ALL !

fixed!

One of the series I ran this year was half MX, half woods. Second and third place guys were on 450's. I won it on a 125. I love my 125

With my new enduro race season approaching fast i've decided to join a running club to improve my fitness and decrease the size of my belly. I'm borderline being in weight/over weight ......So, this evening being my first run i managed to miss the runners start briefing and found the 80 odd runners splitting into groups from 1 to 7. I assumed group 1 was the fastest followed by 2, 3, 4 etc...However, I assumed incorrectly when i went with group 7! I've never in my life run so far and fast. The distance was 7miles at a 7.0min - 7.30min mile. The funny thing was there was only four of us in the group (i should have guessed why so few runners chose this group) and one guy John, he was encouraging me to keep going, i was hanging on for grim death trying to keep up and John was saying i was doing well and asked how many times have i been running with the club? 0!. You will be pleased to know John is 57 and super fit compared to me. So i know what i can acheive but for those of you in your 50's if your fitness was as good as John's you'll be paid for riding. i'm feeling a little happier at being 44 and i'm enjoying your replies so keep them coming. I'm going to have a lay down now i maybe some time before i return and i dont think i'll be in work tomorrow

Y'all are a bunch of hippies! Mixing your ovaltine with bacardi and such... I say, don't trust anyone over 50!

dist 37 is still waiting for you At the DMC National this weeken there were 29 guys in the over 50 expert class so what are you waiting for

You gotta realize how little compression damping I am using. I need the extra oil to prevent bottoming.
