#@$*&!! Accommodations to age ...

Hmm - might not have been the best example

I might operate the dropper lever on my bikes more than I shift gears.

 

[a.s.]

Modern dual suspension bikes can not be ridden correctly or effectively without a dropper post. This is fact.

I commend your many years of suffering but yes, your back feels as bad as it does for no other reason than your own choice. As my wife likes to say, “I hope it was worth it.”

Yes. Yes it was.

Same here.

It's not a geared bike - it's a dozen or so SS's all in one ... riiiiiiight???? (I have no justification for the bouncy parts ... )

You're only using 1 speed at a time, right?

pshaw about age... our buddy at Belleplain (everyone in sNJ knows Jim) started competing in MC enduros in his 20s. Started competing in MTB races in his 70s.

Nicest guy ever, and tough as nails. Competed for KTM. Then later owned a renowned MC shop down in sNJ. My favorite story is that after an especially fast special test time in a NJ 2 Day Qualifier. Torsten Hallman sought him out for a chat. @pibbles and me always try to be like JIM.

Double liked for the Torsten Hallman reference.
Probably better known for Thor race wear. 👍
