How about old DIRT TRACKERS
I sure hope I fit in with all you Stunt rider guys because all I can do is admire the stuff you guys do.......I started riding when I was 10 years old and had motorcycles in the garage since (alot of them) Im 56 now and after a long
and exciting career of TT and short track I find myself still racing the 50+
class. Im looking foward to good conversation and picture sharing with you guys
if you think I will fit in..... You can call me BC...and drop the 3 please

No actually it was a 1962 Ford wagon that I paid 150 bucks for ended up
driveing the thing to a ton of races all that year .......Those were the days...
It sucks getting old, especially when your first love is motorcycles and all your
riding buds are 25 years younger than you.....

Re: How about old DIRT TRACKERS
Well you will really get a laugh out of this.....In 1984 I had a motorcycle repair shop in Concord CA. It was pretty cool because I had 15 years of experiance already from working in other shops.....I had been racing pro dirt track from 73 to 82 had a bad crash
in Chula Vista at the Cal Rayborn Memorial and by the time I had fully recovered it was
1984.....Racing was finished for me I figured so with my savings I opened a shop....
Long story I know but it gets better...Well I have always been kinda of a fat guy....
like Burgers and fries, pizza and all the good stuff...so theres this Pizza place I have been going to and come to find out the owner has a little boy that rides dirt bikes
A YZ80 I believe it was....well I serviced it a few times and then I didn't see her or the YZ anymore....Years go by....(Ten years) I close the shop and move on with my Career as a Tig welder/fabricator for non other than Scott Pruetts brother.....
Im starting to see alot of STUNT RIDERS in my area guys going past me on the freeway at 90+ on the rear wheel....Im really inpressed so I do some reserch on
how to see more of these guys.......(had enough?) Remember the little boy that had the YZ 80? That was Darius........Thats how I got here, chasing him down....the
guy is very talented in my opion, as you probably already know....
So I guess between ThumperTalk.com and here
thats where you will find me.....Peace out.....BC
