I don't remember, I staarted riding sometime in the 60's I think, what is it they say about the 60's, if you remember, you weren't there

What's needed is a table of multipliers based on road difficulty, which can then be applied to the hours of seat time to arrive at a proper metric for determining the cash/prize winner.

Doc? You gonna get on this one?

How about we just average total street miles in a given year and multiply track miles by 4?

MSF course last June here as well so almost 1 yr (about 6,000 miles)

33 years for me and I'm not REALLY all that old. Got my first mini-bike when I was 6 (Honda Mini Trail). In all those years, I've only gone one season without some sort of motorcycle, be it dirt or street...

That sounds like a good start, but don't you think we need to find a way to penalize stunting? I'm thinking -5 minutes for evey wheelie, but I'm interested to hear your input.

Always, dear girl, always....consider the source. Everything is relative.

See signature! :D

Lets see, I am 47 now, so....about 41 or 42 years. I tried to quit once, around 1990. I made it 3 months without a bike. I was driving my wife crazy, so she *made* me get another one. I ride year round (spiked up dirt bikes in the winter), and just can't stop!
HELP?

Honestly I didn't venture into motorcycling until last year because I didn't feel I was mature enough to make sure I didn't do stupid shit.

knowing you arent mature enough means that you are mature enough.


i want to drive/ride in your car :drool:

35 years - and have never missed a season since I was 12 years old...(47 now)

fastest one in the slow group!
ziiing

I was 30 when I started riding. 31 when I started riding on the track. 32 when I started racing. I turn 33 tomorrow.

5 Years

About 25,000 miles saddle time

IDK the mileage since my ODO was taken off 6 months after i bought the bike. then12+ months later it went back on for 6 months, then off again, then on, then it stopped working at 12K+, then i put 10K on another bike.

who knows.8 years in AZ of riding 365 days a year (no car)= a whole shit load.
100K? maybe more?

Are you coming to Newbury so we can help you celebrate?

I'm working tomorrow. Thank you for the offer though.

This is my 3rd season on a bike, coming up on 30k miles.

Started racing karts up at Loudon when I was 7 though...

When I was probably 12 years old? I rode a street bike for a couple minutes around someones yard and found my way right into their fence. Other than that, I got my MC endorsment in May of 2006.

5 years +-

now i can't imagine not riding.

60K miles.

Beginning of summer of 2006 I picked up my first street bike, a little experience on a mini-bike on dirt as a kid, not much.

37 give or take a year. Had a spell in the 90's I didn't ride much as I had two young kids. Now I haven't been in my truck in 9 weeks and counting.

got a street bike when i was 16 so ive been on that for 5 years but have raced motocross since i was like 10..
