    Track, tennis, basketball and fast pitch softball -pitched back to back no hitters. But it took golf to help
    destroy any attempt at most other sports. Torn rotators, bicep and worn joints from LD and competitive golf.
    Now, just trying to enjoy being out there and nutting a shot or two. 😵🏌

    Eat some rocks did you?
    I rode open class along with other classes. Let's just say, we didn't have the protection items that they do now.
    Somebody is making (Maicos) again and they have a 700cc 2 stroke. Doubles as a ditch digger.

        Nat Squash. I played in college,

        Squash, I ate in college.

            Now that I recall.....I was very good at marbles. Only got beat in the championship match when my thumb developed a nasty blister that popped, causing me to fudge.
            🤔Shit.....what I could have been......

                  You should’ve gone to a 200-year-oldNew England College. No squash at dinner, but lots of squash courts

                      Nice Honda. I raced for 11 years. From beginning of April to late October. However far we had to travel. Raced in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, West Virginia.
                      Seen the pros many times. Went to 2 Canadian Grand Prix races. Zoar Valley, Ravenna, Ohio. Mid Ohio. Many Nationals and the Trans Am series. Have seen all the big name riders in those times. DeCoster and others.

                          candukid you did trials? Those guys are amazing!

                          I started out in motocross, then enduros and hare scrambles, and then Observed Trials. The balance and precision appealed to me. It's much harder going slow, actually.🤣
                          I was a B Class amateur and couldn't perform like the pros, but here's a taste of what the world class guys can do. 180 pound, water-cooled, 2-stroke scalpels that can climb anything.

                            I was just going to post a link to some of the trials videos. They are doing things that look totally impossible. Search for X Trial. Unbelievable.

                              My Fantic 240 was my favorite Trials Bike but I also competed in some Vintage Class events in 1994 on a restored 1974'Yamaha TY250. I bought the bike in boxes full of parts and virtually built it.

                                Yes sir, down at the Italian* Lodge, we call that aiming oil and by it buy the bucket.

                                      I raced mostly in the Midwest. Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Tennessee. Did travel to Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas and Kentucky.

                                      Here's a bike that's very similar to the one I built. We did retrofit a set of the European side panels which made it even more unique.
