@Matt Burkeen I live in Lee County South Florida technically Pine Island, Florida. Are used to race motocross on a younger and I’m 47 just turned but I’ve been training for quite a few years and I look like I’m 20 something set my face, of course Lol. What I’m trying to say is I plan on getting another bike and I’d love to meet you and go riding and you could show me how I can make some extra cash Ron dirtbike cause I watch you and you seem to have learned enough so far on how to get by and do what you love to do. I just want to get a bike Practice all the new techniques that I’ve learned of it over the years of watching people racing because they had none of that when I was doing it back in the 90s and early 2000s. I’ve always wanted to qualify for Loretta Lynn’s and I have a needed passion to do this before I get too old to be is compatible as I can be. Just having such a hard time being able to get a bike I wish there was a way I will do whatever it takes so if you ever can think of anything i’ll hesitate to shout out at me. Good luck with your next races, and I also wanted to say I was very proud of what you did in the outdoor nationals. Taking a bike that can’t be beaten by the bikes is racing against but because of how sweet it sounds, and how you could be considered a hometown hero sort of speaks. Only because of your outgoing personality, and that you seem like a really faithful person to those around him.
