125-200cc Who's the Oldest?

I'm 62 and have no plans on slowing down.

.......and a Wrinkly

THE OLDER I GET
THE FASTER I USED TOO BE

My buddie has that sticker on his bike.

My favorite is "Old Age and Treachery always overcomes Youth and Skill"
LOL

A little bottoming happens from time to time- did not someone much faster than all of us put together say that the forks[set up proper]should bottom once a lap?- roll your bars back a little more and lean back some...: esp; in the cold weather it's easy to have too much oil

My forks bottom lightly several times a race.

Cool- I'm on the same page as you!
Was watching some of the racing and those supercross bikes look so STIFF- like hey are set up for a riding error and may just save the rider's bacon. That's good but it looks like that setup hands out a beating.

I like my suspension soft, and my forks (and shock) bottom on every lap. If you have 12 inches, it's no good unless you're using it all...

So I'm a young buck at 34 but also fall under the category of ex-parapalegic (long story). To keep this thread on-topic, most all of my riding partners are by a large margin, my senior. I usually lead our trail rides, but only because I'm the most impatient to get going. I tell you, every one of the old guys I ride with can ride their heavy old trailbikes so far up the crack of my arse that it's unbelieveable... They are on DRZ400's, street legal 300lb WR450's, TTR250's and I'm on a brand new WR150. They would all kill me in a race. All I can say is that I hope to God that I will be riding at their age, and that I can be lucky enough for some of their superior skills to rub off on me. Old guys rock!
