It also highlighted that they accept their bones will now mostly break not bend, and stated that many/most of the blokes have stopped going as hard and fast as they had, adding trials riding for riding that would still challenge them, but not hurt as much when they came off! Lol!

I have a buddy, that at 75 stopped riding his 748, riding fast too, on the track to take up trials riding to lessen the danger from crashing.

He's broken more bones riding trials than he ever did on the race track. ;)

Crashing at the at over 130mph resulted in me waking up in an ambulance nearly naked and being cared for by two beautiful female paramedics.

Crash at 30mph in the bush............ Brokeback Mountain with Ung!

I'll stay at the track. ;).
