Sorry, got busy and lost track of this thread.

Another McGrath!

Hardly, he's pretty darn good on the local level though.

Broken bones. Many.
Consider yourself warned.

Understood, a neighbor talked me into this, and the first day at the track it was apparent how dangerous this could be. I will say that Keegan does a good job, under threat of no more racing, of riding within his abilities. Winning is cool but finishing on two wheels is the main goal.

Cool pic. This sport gets in your blood, my son loves it, and I'll admit I enjoy taking him to the track.

I do Enduros, not MX. Enduro is basically racing through the woods instead of around a track. It's also much longer distance. 2-3 hours and 100km instead of 20 minute heats.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about it either. I've always had dirt bikes, but mostly just farting around on trails at the cottage. I decided to get this WR250 and try some racing. It's cheaper than racing cars which is a big plus.

But, I broke my foot, not bad and it was never in a cast, but it's still not right. Don't know if it ever will be. Makes me want to stick to cages. So I dunno anymore.

Part of what made me get the truck. I still get to go out on trails, but now my family can come too, and I'm not gonna bust up my body.

Thanks, I guess. :bigok:

Really, my son doesn't concern me on the track. He has always used very good judgment and if it were only him out there I'd never worry. But you add 10 kids, more or less, throw in their parents, and add a couple of small trophy's and it can become a complete cluster fuck. :banghead:

We're riding through the 85's then we're done for a while to pursue other sports, like basketball and baseball.
