Howdy SimHQ folks!
I'm curious and wanted to ask a question.
I've noticed my thread here is closing in on 57,000 views. I know this isn't really the type of site where a motocross thread belongs, but I've been keeping it updated as a sort of "diary" of my attempt at riding/racing motocross. So I would venture a guess that 99% of the 57k views are from search spiders or bots of some kind?
If any SimHQ members have been following this thread...can you reply with a simple "S!" or something? I would guess there's probably 5 or less...lol
Thanks!

No interest in motorcycles (although I've ridden, street and dirt...assuming it's still 1 down and 4 up with a left-handled clutch?), but I follow your thread. If for any reason, just to see what an old man my age will risk and can accomplish (same with Dart's thread).

Ah Ha! So you're the one! lol
I guess "old man" is pretty subjective to the sport you're talking about. I'm 52 and for motocross...I'm friggin old. Not sure how long my body will take it before it says "no more". Now...if I was taking up golf...I'd probably be the new young whipper snapper on the course.
Thanks for responding Mark!

I appreciate that a lot OG...thank you!
I might have been misleading with the text in the vid...the flag comes after the text I put in. You can kinda see the stick in the far left of the thumbnail.
My wife isn't a fan of the hobby unfortunately, not something many 52 year old husbands decide they're gonna do out of the blue I guess...lol. My body has been preserved pretty good cause I've never really done anything remotely as punishing as this...I've been lucky and feel pretty alive out there for sure!
Cheers!

Took my 05 Husky to the motocross track...kickstand and all! Sure...she's 16lbs heavier than my Honda...but she makes up for it by having 8 less horsepower.
