Hello to everyone! I bought my 1982 PE175 NEW in May of 1982. Raced it for 10 years in National Enduros. Yup I am over 70 years old. Started racing at 15 in Trials, on to TT and MX riding one of the first Yamaha YZ125s. Moved on to Enduros with my PE and finished my motorcycle racing at 46 years old with a Motorcross Marathon on the PE. During this time I also raced dirt circle track Full Body Cars. In my late 40s started racing SCCA, SpecRacer Ford. At 60 years old SCCA made it a pain in the A to race over 60, more $ so moved to Nascar Legends until I was 64. Last race was against a 15 year old Hot Shoe who was in the run for the Championship. I was the only person with a Gold Star on the fender which met I was a Senior. BUT during all this time I still had my PE. I ride a CRF450r from 54 to 65 also. Now I am looking forward to riding my PE more with some new suspension improvement and the renew interest the last few years in 2-strokes. Also have a Yamaha XT225 setup as mostly a dirt adventure bike as my second street legal enduro bike. Down in the Tucson, AZ area with all the Rocks and Cactus. Still riding and always looking for new locals to ride with. Take care and be safe!
