How old is too old?
I'm too old. Maybe wise? might consider getting on the track on the motorbike (pacer)... maybe not that wise, if I would go on the motorbike. Can still remember, at a meet, when Chum Taylor took a Speedway m/bike around Lake Monger Velo. Cheers, BrentonO Lone Rider- I rode on the long, dark road... before I danced under the lights.
Re: Why get into track racing?
This is the pace bike I'd like to be on... maybe????

Sogood,
I meant I'm riding the pacer, not behind it! mate. Smile. Cheers, BrentonO Lone Rider- I rode on the long, dark road... before I danced under the lights.
Re: Why get into track racing?
These are the latest pacer bikes (from Ghent 6-Day... 166.6m track), at least you get a bit of exercise.

Your never too told to have a go at the track.
At the last masters games, there were two gentlemen racing that were over 80!!! cheers Glenn -----------

Re: Why get into track racing?
Try balancing on 42degs banked tracks, wood or concrete, fun?
(while in the middle of a competition, of coarse-1000m Sprint) Cheers, BrentonO Lone Rider- I rode on the long, dark road... before I danced under the lights.
Re: Why get into track racing?

Re: Why get into track racing?
Nah, I'd stick to a derney, little bit of exercise, some excitement, and more comfort, if I was back on the track. Thanks, BrentonO Lone Rider- I rode on the long, dark road... before I danced under the lights.

Re: Why get into track racing?
You don't need to worry about cars hitting you , or potholes,and besides it is faster and sharper on the reflexes.
I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km

I think there needs to be more of them, as urban areas become even more conjested:/
