Title: New member but not a new rider
Post by: thorman75 on October 12, 2009, 06:05:57 AM

Hi guys, thought I would tell you a little about myself. I started riding on a Bonanza minibike at age 6. I started racing in early 70 or late 69 on a Kawasaki G3 100. Ive been riding and racing ever since, Ive quit this sport at least 100 times but it gets under your skin and I know I'm helplessly addicted. Right now I have a 03 KX500 on its way from Houston should be here next week, I also have a 83 Honda CR480 scattered all over my garage but it'll be done, full restoration, by March. Ive owned over 40 bikes in the last 40 years including 2 other KX500's. KX's, CR's (including a CR500AF, AJ the guy who builds them is a long time friend, I was at his house discussing my KX500 Saturday) Husky's, Maico's etc etc. My only claim to fame is I was a member of the Army MC Team in 78,79. Full ride from Suzuki and others, 6th place Dist 17 500cc MX in 95. I'll be at the RedBud Grass Race this Sunday the 18th.

Malcolm is still riding and until he pulls the plug us younger guys have a reason to keep plugging along.
