Motocross Yesterday
Thanks lads. Had a great time. Sunny and dry, which meant no mud :-(
We were on 250, 350 and 450 fourstrokes, so the bikes were nice and easy to use.
Overall, fantastic fun, I love the lairyness of no grip, but not at speed and I definitely ain't a jumper yet.
There was a bit of piss taking about us oldies being timid, but none of us crashed unlike the other groups. The crashers looked VERY uncomfy afterwards, unlike trackdays where it seems the usual injuries are pride, fairings and kitty litter up yer crack.
My MX scaredy-ness is a function knowing quite a few MX'ers who've broken an arm or collar bone over the years compared to track-day injuries. Too much thinking Hugh...

Sobering moment:
16 year old lad rolled up during the lunch break on his 125 two stroke. Knocked out 30m long jumps, f*ck knows how high. Gives exactly the same feeling when a kid on a supersports shows you a clean pair of heels at track day.

No prizes for guessing who "Huge" is...
