    I really like the smoothness of your riding, SO key at GH!! The last time I did the World Vets was in '07, on a CRF "280", 45+ Novice...Pushed way too hard, way too early, crashed my brains out on Saturday, i was done! Now that I'm almost 63, really want to give it another go! Great Video!! Great Ride!!

      My return to racing after 20+ years was the slow and easy process. The long slow buildup. If you do return to racing take it slow.
      Thanks for watching.

    From east coast started riding Hare Scrambles after a 38 year hiatus away from dirt bikes age 72 now won my class over 70 first time out . Would love to come to California to motocross , do they have a class for over 70's . Also would need to borrow a vintage bike for the race . My 2021 FE 350 husky and 200rr beta could not be raced in vintage . You don't know how bad I would love to race motocross again , but don't want to race against spring chicken 60 year old's . Racing with no rebound damping , great job does show how little rebound is needed to stop pogo action . Your not crazy you are making it fit you.

    Nice!!! Old bike,Broken shock,possibly underpowered compared to the newer bikes and you snatched a 3rd place finish! Far and above what i thought you would get..i figured somewhere between 5th and 10th place is where you would end up...3rd!!! Haha! Nice work!

    Brilliant and well done for an epic effort.. those 450 s must have hated that 230 going past. So inspired went out and got a 230 f which in the uk is hard to find but totally agree with your sentiment …get the next vids up 👍

      @@lowbuckgarage1 I don’t know I’m not very mechanically inclined. You probably know more than me. Have you seen when they put turbos on a bike? They actually did it. I don’t know if you would want to do that though…

    • @lowbuckgarage1
      @lowbuckgarage1  7 місяців тому +1

      Lots of turbos on street bikes,especially drag bikes. Haven’t seen anyone put one on a dirtbike. Too heavy, bulky. Maybe a small nitrous bottle just for the starts might be interesting.

      Novice means novice here.
      There are no beginner classes here. Yes I’ve raced before, always novice, I did race a local intermediate race back in 1989, then stopped racing for 20 years, I’ve never been sponsored, never owned a new bike. Thanks for watching.

      Joker right. He's on a 240cc w/two valves, less travel, short wheelbase and his starts and approach is not aggressive. Did you see him Huck jumps or something...no. Steady Eddy whilst the others fade.
