[@kevinsivertson5800]

That’s Awesome Tom! Congratulations! Hope to do that someday!

[@ianadam2026]

Great job Tom! no serious mishaps and the bike seemed to finish unscathed despite the pogo stick!

[@Outdoorguy_FrankPearson]

Cool stuff. Brings back memories of the 70's

[@bcuzicancuellar5478]

WOOHOOO! That was AWESOME and congratulations! Ride safe…🏍🏍🏍👏🏻🙌🤘🏻🤙🏻

[@tedpaszko8274]

Very good Enjoyed the race

[@jeffb.7924]

Respect from France ! You did it great, even with an unhelpfull bike ! May be she likes to be fitted with a real shock absorbers ! 😉✌

[@greg042]

Respect! Likewise I'm old also. I ride on the east coast. I have a few videos up. Been since 2015 I have ridden Glenn Helen on a Thursday with Dave at MX Vacations. Maybe next year

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

Kicking ass with the trail bike.

[@anthonygrijalva8821]

Love it dude!! Awesome job!!! I would've done the same as you....here now, run it!!! 230 is getting it!!!!

[@bag-of-bones485]

Respect.

[@icunhal]

Congrats, man!!! Great job!

[@jimbingham99]

Great job Tom look forward to next video.

[@lowbuckgarage1]

Hey Jim thanks! how you been lately?

[@jimbingham99]

Been doing fine I see you been busy is fixing your shocks next video.

[@lowbuckgarage1]

@@jimbingham99 Yep I’ll be busy with Shock therapy. Still Better than a blown motor or broken ankle!

[@Hondafortrax300]

Like your helmet,God is good all time, your a great rider and 🔧,nice shout out to your wife also,I too im blessed

[@Hondafortrax300]

Meant all the time I get in a hurry 😆

[@marksmith402]

I really like the smoothness of your riding, SO key at GH!! The last time I did the World Vets was in '07, on a CRF "280", 45+ Novice...Pushed way too hard, way too early, crashed my brains out on Saturday, i was done! Now that I'm almost 63, really want to give it another go! Great Video!! Great Ride!!

[@lowbuckgarage1]

My return to racing after 20+ years was the slow and easy process. The long slow buildup. If you do return to racing take it slow. Thanks for watching.

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Don't care where you finish! If you come in dead last , your still a hero!

[@getoffenit7827]

Nice!!! Old bike,Broken shock,possibly underpowered compared to the newer bikes and you snatched a 3rd place finish! Far and above what i thought you would get..i figured somewhere between 5th and 10th place is where you would end up...3rd!!! Haha! Nice work!

[@stevenpatriquin3188]

great race!! keep up the good work

[@stuartcorbett8125]

Brilliant and well done for an epic effort.. those 450 s must have hated that 230 going past. So inspired went out and got a 230 f which in the uk is hard to find but totally agree with your sentiment …get the next vids up 👍

[@American_Redneck]

Would love to see more races on this bike, and if possible more power out of it.

[@lowbuckgarage1]

Suggestions for power? I’m open, within reason.

[@American_Redneck]

@@lowbuckgarage1 I don’t know I’m not very mechanically inclined. You probably know more than me. Have you seen when they put turbos on a bike? They actually did it. I don’t know if you would want to do that though…

[@lowbuckgarage1]

Lots of turbos on street bikes,especially drag bikes. Haven’t seen anyone put one on a dirtbike. Too heavy, bulky. Maybe a small nitrous bottle just for the starts might be interesting.

[@miniminamanmina3715]

From east coast started riding Hare Scrambles after a 38 year hiatus away from dirt bikes age 72 now won my class over 70 first time out . Would love to come to California to motocross , do they have a class for over 70's . Also would need to borrow a vintage bike for the race . My 2021 FE 350 husky and 200rr beta could not be raced in vintage . You don't know how bad I would love to race motocross again , but don't want to race against spring chicken 60 year old's . Racing with no rebound damping , great job does show how little rebound is needed to stop pogo action . Your not crazy you are making it fit you.

[@Dave-pt9pk]

Great video, I like that you’re still rocking this bike. If you end up looking for alternatives in your shock the vonkat seemed to fare pretty well with Torture Test Magazine.

[@lowbuckgarage1]

Yes Vonkat is a great shock.

[@vincecunningham3717]

Excellent job maintaining the pogo stick. The track look epic. Not bad for an old fart. 😉

[@lowbuckgarage1]

It was! Best track in California. Time to spin a couple laps there on your Katoom.

[@MichaelLafferty-m6v]

I actually won the 60+ Novice At worldvet #241

[@lowbuckgarage1]

I know you did! Awesome dude!!! You smoked us! How did you do in moto #1? Were you on first gate?

[@chestercalloway3812]

So looks like 14th overall. Not bad for an old trail bike.

[@1sir-onworld]

👍👌🤘

[@corboboutabagg]

how much hp, whats top speed??

[@lowbuckgarage1]

Haven’t had it on a dyno. Estimated 25-27hp. Speed? Depends on gearing.

[@ottokirk2325]

I think you can save a couple more lbs. with an Austrian air fork...

[@lowbuckgarage1]

🤔. Hmm…have not seen that tried yet. Interesting.

[@icunhal]

What's the brand of that "pogo stick"?🤭

[@lowbuckgarage1]

I’ll be revealing the name of the failed shock’s company name in the next video, depending on how they treat me. That should not have happened.

[@icunhal]

@@lowbuckgarage1 👍

[@GoatRoper911]

Looks like you are sandbagging. Have you raced Intermendiate before?

[@lowbuckgarage1]

Novice means novice here. There are no beginner classes here. Yes I’ve raced before, always novice, I did race a local intermediate race back in 1989, then stopped racing for 20 years, I’ve never been sponsored, never owned a new bike. Thanks for watching.

[@ottokirk2325]

Joker right. He's on a 240cc w/two valves, less travel, short wheelbase and his starts and approach is not aggressive. Did you see him Huck jumps or something...no. Steady Eddy whilst the others fade.
