anyway, 44y/o been riding since 7. First bike Suzuki MT50, it was affectionately known to me 'The Blapper'. I've owned many bikes including some roadies but nothing overly flash or terribly exciting..my toys are pretty much all orphaned models few seem to bother with. These include '65 Hillbilly, '69 TS250, '71 TS/TM125, '73 F11 kawa, '74 TM125, '74 RL250, '76/'77 RM125, '76 TS400 '77 RM80, '78 RM400, '78 JR50, '81 KLX, '82 RM80 and the '82 DR500SZ my prodical son. Projects underway, pre '78 RMS/TM125, '74 TS/TM250. I only ride a few times a year and rarely competitively. Raced once when I was 14 and one dirt track attempt at about 30ish but I'm more so a Joe Average trail rider who loves nothing better than a long ride with a few mates. First vmx race at Coff's in May '07 and it rates right up there as a major highlight of my otherwise mundane life

First time I'd ridden a TM125 in over 25 years also and it was so much FUN I'm now hooked on the little screamers! Looking forward to getying in a bit more riding this year than I have in previous years be it VMX or just trail riding so long as the body remains willing
