I was taking a walk through my pictures and it took me to memory lane.
I rode my first motorcycle competition in 1967 on a Triumph Mountain Cub. I have competed in enduros, trials, flat track, TT races, motocross, cross country, 8 hour marathons and a few odd special events no one has a name for as yet.
I am proud to say that I made it to expert ranking in everything I tried except enduros. They were the first form of competition I tried and at the age of 15, I emphasize tried! When I finally got back to them they had changed tremendously and I was to old to keep up!
Well I'm rambling....so , what's my point?
I love this sport. It has enabled me to travel not only throughout this country but the world, competing in Mexico, Canada and Scotland. I have met so many interesting people and made lifelong friends all over the globe.
I think if we all look back for just a minute we may find some common ground.
In the troubled times of the here and now it is easy to let life take us from these treasured times. I for one am going to pursue future good times with old and new friends to be.
