Is anyone else here a Racer? I mean anything too...Motorcycle, Car, Boat, Airplane, Lawnmower, Bar-Stool...
I'm a new guy here and would like to see other's racing toys. I tried searching for other racers, but didn't come up on anything. I know there must be some other racers here besides myself, and would like to see what ya do! So post up a pic if you can and tell us why you do it! :cooler:
Below is my KTM 525 SuperMoto Racebike. Supermoto racing consists of a track that is 70% asphalt roadracing course, and a30% motocross dirt section. You transition between the two...come off the asphalt onto the dirt section then back onto the asphalt. It's an absolute Hoot and keeps me young and good-lookin'.

:cheeky1:Very true Jason. I freely admit the bike is better than I am.
As far as an 'in-use' picture, below is at a track that uses paved jumps instead of a dirt section.

And people...I'm no spring chicken at 47 years old. But as Dodge says "Grab life by the horns!"
Or in my case, it's a set of Renthal fat-bars. :action:

plainmech...you forget all about those pains when you're on the bike. When the race is over they all come back. :?
Rob..you need to dig up a pic of the Bultaco. The Pursang is classic stuff! The kids, when they hear you talk about Bultaco, Penton, etc. all they say is they've heard of them. Like Elvis.
Mike..at 47 I'm usually the oldest guy out there. But I do pretty good. It's always fun to surprise the guys out there half my age. The young-uns all have a pin-it-to-win-it approach and are easy to set-up for a pass. I'd rather race against the young guys.Old racers are devious.
wingman, that's why I race motorcycles. Cars cost too much. :smiler:
Thanks all for the welcome!

Super Moto looks like a lot of fun. I've been wanting to get a dual sport type bike (KLR or Vstrom) or something of that nature. Right now this is my sport bike. 2007 Honda 919. I haven't raced it yet but am wanting to do a track days with it sometime.

If that's what floats your boat that's fine, but old bones mend slowly.

Hare and Hounds, Scrambles, and Baja.
No more racing now....the arthritis is too bad. Last race for me was the '07 500 and 1K.
My dual sport (CRF450X) and race bike in a little town near Tecate MX:

I'm a big fan of supermoto but I think I'm too old to actually race anymore! :?
I used to road race and drag race bikes and cars.
Now I only race in the ocean.
