Not about Monsters or street bikes but very relatable.

Yep, says it all.
The humble DR650 well represented (and ridden with far more skill than mine ever is) [thumbsup] [thumbsup]
Nicely said AND ridden! ðŸ'ðŸ»
For all of us on the wrong side of 50 it is a bit inspirational.

Which side is the wrong side?

Hmm, that's a very complicated question.

Whichever side one is on is probably the wrong side
What a wonderful vid! I substitute twisty roads for dirt, and only use highways to get to them, but at 66 I am having a great time riding my little Moto!
Watching that was great timing. People been telling me that I should give up track days due to my age. Bah!. Just found a race suit that fits and Im feeling inspired.

I showed this to my brother who had stopped riding after going down in the spring. Happy to say he is back on
[thumbsup] very cool.
The race suit is nearly as wide as it is high ;D

Well then you'll roll rather than flopping and cartwheeling.
Must be better.
[thumbsup]
Curved technique rather than angular. ;)
Looking forward to going hard at the track. That vid says dont give in to staying in your comfort zone.
great video [thumbsup]

It also highlighted that they accept their bones will now mostly break not bend, and stated that many/most of the blokes have stopped going as hard and fast as they had, adding trials riding for riding that would still challenge them, but not hurt as much when they came off! Lol!

And keeping the wheelies below 100 kph

I have a buddy, that at 75 stopped riding his 748, riding fast too, on the track to take up trials riding to lessen the danger from crashing.
He's broken more bones riding trials than he ever did on the race track. ;)
[laugh]
No boulders and logs on the track. ;D
Crashing at the at over 130mph resulted in me waking up in an ambulance nearly naked and being cared for by two beautiful female paramedics.
Crash at 30mph in the bush............ Brokeback Mountain with Ung!
I'll stay at the track. ;).
