Personal History
I
Update: I had to pull from riding in 2016 mid year we had so many family issues with my family and my wife’s that I sold all my bikes and supplies to be able to find the trips nessaarry to visit the family members that had ALS and Cancer it was a taxing time for our families. I am getting a bike back I am either going 19 crf450 or 19 RMZ450. Then I need the gear parts engine and transmission and suspension mods to get it dialed in for me
My hope a prayers are be supported once again. Then to represent my sponsors with integrity
Thank you,
Greg
I started racing when I moved to AZ back in 1990 had to quit when my kid was born to keep a solid income with injury!
I got back on the back and raced in 05-07 then a big crash busted everything on the right side and punctured lung cut liver and bruised kidney.
Put my slelf back on a bike again in 08 i did not race at all until 2010 ran the AZOTMX series and took 5th overall in the novice class
I have been off since then just running practice and pleasure on my bikes.
Well 2013 just woke the race passion up just got the new 2013 Honda CRF450r on 9/21/12 and rode it today 9/23/12 and I am ready to go racing again the bike is a total fit and make the 48 year old feel like a kid again!
Well 48 Came and Went quickly and was not liking the new Honda so well.. I now have jumped on a 2013 KX450F and just got the new 15 YZ250F
I am leaning towards my 250F more now its light and nimble. I don't get a worn out riding it. Alothugh my 450 is nice just to twist it and make it at the last second!
Lets see what great things 2015 holds for me
Wow 2016 here and life's been good to me! I have been riding for joy and pleasure and working with some of the younger kids to prep them for their racing.
Well I do promote the people who help me and sponsor me I am product and brand loyal I am a great steward of the sport
Thanks for your consideration
