I'm old, fat and slow.  And I'd rather not break my bones either.

 That said, I was slow when I was young and skinny too, back a few decades...

So what?  I like to ride.  Jumping is cool.  Getting a holeshot off a great gate is a blast, even if you get passed by the first turn.

Its about having a good time.  THAT is what you will remember when YOU are old, fat and slow racing in the geezer class and watching your kids do things on a bike you can't do now and never will

So go out and race.  Chill if you don't win.  Race again next weekend.

later
