Hi Mr Matt. I think I may know you, do you go to ecea enduros every now and then?

Yes, I think I know you also..........?????  I use to run with High Mountain out of Mountain Top and we put a series of Hare Scrables on at Catawissa PA.  You make me shake my head trying to figure how I know you......???  You have a girl friend that raced??  I helped her one time???  Is that it?  Where do you know me from?  I have given up the enduros because Doc said that dosent go well with a Pacemaker and Defibulator.........lol ! 

Hi Alan, thank you and Yes, I know...........lol !  My last one was a KTM 525 EXC.  Miss it and such but I just want to get back to playing in the dirt when given the chance.  Thank you for the welcome.  Mr. Matt

Yep, my girlfriend is Lissa. She's still racing. We're leaving for Daytona friday evening and will be riding the Sandlapper and the Alligator. I spoke to you at the Broad Mountain enduro a while back. I was going into the last section with my YZ250 and the clutch cable broke at the reset. I remember I was not having fun that day.

Rob,
   Its great to meet you again and tell Lissa I said hello.  Yes, I remember and I didnt have anything to help you.  I was just spectating that day I belive.  Funny as I was just thinking of this the other day wow karma huh?  I need to find out where I can get some new plastic for this 99.  I have a sponsorship with my local dealer called Can-Do Powersports with my drag racing.  I am going to look there first but is there a aftermarket plastic that is decent and better then the stocker?  Thanks for the hello and the smile tonight.  I wish you the best on your trip and smoke em down there ok?  Take care, MM

Im picking up a titled 02 500 shortly. I may even race it later this year at a few select enduros. Will you be spectating any enduros this year? How about the Hancock dualsport. We'll be there.
