Just curious

After reading comments and such from readers, I'm curious as to how many ride motorcycles and if you still ride. Me, I raced them for over twenty-five years. I'm a charter member of the AMA and darn proud of it too. I started racing on triumphs in the 500cc class. I started by riding enduros on a ridgid frame 500 and finally got suspension a year later on my 1965 500. Next I raced mostly smooth scrambles with an occational rough scramble. I stopped racing for maybe two years until a friend told me about cross country racing. Those are the ones that last for at least an hour and a half to over five hours, all off road. My longest was the first Fronteir Five Hundred which went from Las Veges to Reno. Never did finish the race, but do I have memories. I've raced in events from Mexico to Idaho, and most of the western states between. I advanced from novice to expert over the years, but haven't raced now for I guess 15 years, the body can't take it anymore, and long races are becoming harder to find. I think what happened was someone saw how much fun it was and past a law to outlaw it. Oh well, at least I have my dreams, Arecee
