Racing by accident?

With me, its all bin Laden's fault

I started dreaming about racing motorcycles back in 1968, I raced off road for 11 years, but always dreamed of being a road racer. it was not until I was 48 that I got my license and started doing more than dreaming I am now just a old slow guy who has the biggest smile out there. My son races with me now and there is not a weekend at the track that I do not think I am the luckiest guy alive

I'm guessing the Summit round from last September is excluded from that!!!  How's the arm???

I ran out of money doing this in 2000, and it took me this long to come back.  Even though my wallet hates me racing, I'm glad I am.  I've made some good friends since September, and I can't imagine going back to a life without bikes. 

Bill, come to Carolina!!!  Bin Laden double dog dares you.  (I'm not sure what your post meant   )

I blame george bush!

well... and a group of people I still call my friends over in Columbia MO.  NEVER would have done it this soon wtihout them... might have eventually found my way, but they were instrumental in getting me rolling!

Man that was a fun year!

Crashing is just part of racing, the only bones I had broken up till this Sept had all been on a dirt bike, The arm is doing fine, I was doing a bunch of snowmobiling in Vt up until the warm weather ruined the snow, it is the next best thing to being on the track.

I am real lucky when it comes to racing, I can deduct all of  my expenses, I picked up a lot of work last fall and it did not really cost me anything when I figure in what I gained by getting some new customers and a lot of new friends in the process.

There are some advantages to being and old guy, I figure I could either save my money for retirement or live life for what it has to offer for today. I will worry about my grand kids inheritance another day

Played in the dirt alot as a kid...(Don't have the knees for it) When I was old enough to drive, My first car was a Motorcycle.  (oups, Stupid huh?)  I bought it and could'nt afford to ride it legal on the street, so I 'accidently' kicked it over in my drive-way with the parents van.  That pretty much fixed that, so, then It became a race bike with the help of some friends, got my race license in a weekend (young/ dumb/ full of....),and that was that.

In 4th grade we were asked to write a short story... I wrote about how I wanted to race motorcycles for Factory Yamaha... 6th grade started riding dirtbikes(after turning down an opportunity to ride a Honda RS125-mostly influenced by my mom) - raced motocross - broke my neck - thought I wouldn't ever be able to ride again..... Then the same guy who offered me the ride on the RS125 convinced me to by an SV.... And here I am today......Racing has always been my life - and I couldn't see living without it....
