I am 69 years old living in Atlanta, GA. I ride a CBR100 and a KLR650.
The mountains north of Atlanta have many miles of asphalt and dirt, therefore both bikes.

A heart attack and emphysema have forced me to ride with O2. It only adds about 10lbs.

I love MotoGP but we don't have one in the states. I know some folks believe the Laguna Seca even in July is a MotoGP but you only have to attend to understand it is an AMA event with the GPs as a side show. A couple of GP practive and 1 race but no 125 or 250s.

Maybe the person in the avatar is Capirex. Capirex likes nice bikes and cars. Capirex are those your quotes?

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. I love reading here. I think it is great that we don't all agree but we can argue our personal riders abilities.

I was a Scott Russell fan. Rob Muzzy said Scott was the best talent he ever had and that is a big statement when you look at the list of Cal Rayburn, Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey maybe some others I don't know. Muzzy said Scott should never have won a world championship on the Kawasaki in 1993 (?). Muzzy said the bike was such junk that Scott spent too much of himself winning that championship and it cost him in terms of the long career.

But Kevin Schwantz won a world 500GP championship on a really junky Suzuki. Schwantz was so good I never understood why he did not change horses. He has a school at Road Atlanta, maybe I will ask him next time I visit there.

That is the recently departed snooker player Paul Hunter who lost his fight against cancer aged just 27.
