Yeow! You are a lot more macho than me. I was whining to myself about getting a little cold last week when it was 50.

For those of you who don't know, along with making awesome turntables and bracket racers, Mikey is a knee dragger:

    I'm 62 and still doing trackdays. Age is just a ##. Been at it 50yrs.

Is that...Valentino Rossi?? 

 

[Doc B]

The helmet is too conservative, I think not.

Looks quicker than stink, though. Maybe it's Biaggi.

 

[pdxgrampa]

Agostini?

Ages around here more likely Hailwood or even Woods. 

 

[mkane]

  Mid 80's stuff. We had a few big singles back then.

That last pic was of me on my Yamaha xt550 at a vintage group track day a couple of years ago, I haven't decided whats more vintage, the riders or the bikes!

Is that Gary Nixon behind you?

 

[mkane]

Walt Nitto. He 'was' the fast guy in the class.

Hey MKANE
I was having an old guy moment, the 9 on the number plate reminded me of this guy:

who also carried 9 on his number plate:

  Thank's I am very aware who Gary Nixon was. Old dirt tracker myself. These picks below, same bike, same rider, 35 years apart. I finally stopped racing. Track days are enough.
