it is not that i dont like the 25 35 45 i just didnt think that there are alot of riders that were my age so i was thinking the 35 class would not get full and would have to run with the 45 class
so why not just do a 25 and over and a 45 and over class then everyone would be covered that way

maybe we should just make a class called the OLD GUY CLASS and the way you get to be in the class is to tell some story about your past that really makes you sound old
kinda like the story we herd back in the day about having to walk in the rain sleet and snow bare footed 3 miles to school everyday then come home and feed the cows and haul hay plant the corn mow the back 40 then bath with lye SOap and kill the chicken for dinner

Do I qualify? I still like: 25+ 35+ 45+ (non-trophy)

My wife and I were just talking about the cheapest gas price we could remember when we were kids. She remembers .35/gal, and I remember going to the corner station in Hillsboro and getting gas for the lawn mower for only .26/gal! No joke! I remember saving my pennies to by a soda for .15, and the refunded deposit on the bottle was a nickle. We could get movie coupons from the "Five & Dime" for a free matinee movie, too! OK, I am old. But, at least I still remember. Sorta.

Hey Tony just check this out.........
How old is GRANDPA!!!!!!! Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away.
One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.
The Grandfather replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before:
' television
' penicillin
' polio shots
' frozen foods
' Xerox
' contact lenses
' Frisbees and
' the pill
There were no:
' credit cards
' laser beams or
' ball-point pens
Man had not invented:
' pantyhose
' air conditioners
' dishwashers
' clothes dryers
' and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and
' man hadn't yet walked on the moon
Your Grandmother and I got married first, . . . and then lived together.
Every family had a father and a mother.
Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir". And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, "Sir."
We were before gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.
Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.
We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.
Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.
We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.
Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.
Draft dodgers were people who closed their front doors when the evening breeze started.
Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums. We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.
We listened to the Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios.
And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.
If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk.
The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.
Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.
We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.
Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.
And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.
You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, . . . but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.
In my day:
' "grass" was mowed,
' "coke" was a cold drink,
' "pot" was something your mother cooked in and
' "rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby.
' "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office,
' " chip" meant a piece of wood,
' "hardware" was found in a hardware store and
' "software" wasn't even a word. And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap... and how old do you think I am?
I bet you have this old man in mind...you are in for a shock!
Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time.
This man would be only 59 years old

That was amusing but television was invented in 1922 and FDR was televised in April 1939. In 1928, Willis Haviland Carrier developed the first residential 'Weathermaker', an air conditioner for private home use. Just to point out two.

Assuming the "How old is Grandpa?" story was written by someone in 1981, or earlier, it is accurate.

well after watching todays vet class the vet a class looked like there were some guys in the 20s and 30s and 40s and 50s i think i even saw 1 guy in his 60s or 70s so yeah there needs to be something different done because the 60 or 70 yr old was spanking the others lol
nah i did watch both vet classes and i didnt see where there was an age limit or age group in eather class
i did think the vet class was for the lod guys like me and not the 20 yr olds
it seems like to me they would be in big bike open or novice

Lee, as far as I could tell, there were no riders under the age of 30 in the Vet classes. Unless you mean Chris Cousins, who looks like he's in his 20's, and is 34. If someone was under 30, they were in the wrong class by mistake. I hope.
