Hello, I've been watching here for a couple of years, I don't race but have a couple of older bikes that I ride sometimes, an RM250N & CR480, I use to race in the 70's & 80's. A couple of my friends & work-mates sometimes race, we are in our 50's & 60's, racing is just not the same as when we were younger; carrying more weight, more injuries and more responsibilities. Plus wearing-out vintage bikes in bad (read- muddy/wet) conditions does not interest me when I have to spend ages on ebay looking for parts.
I love the tech info that I find here, I love hearing from the enthusiasts on the forum. :-)
