Since we have a decent number of visitors who browse or write on this site nowadays, I think it might be fun and informative to let everyone know a little more about us. This thread is designed to shed some light on the people behind the usernames, myself included. I’ve included a brief list of stats on myself below: **** Name: Robert Beaupre City: Sparks Age: 25 Bikes: 2006 Honda CRF450, 1983 Honda CR480 Years riding: 20 Classes: 450 Pro, 25+ Pro Sponsors: Big Valley Honda, O’Neal Why I’m here: I’ve raced for most of my life. As a result, I can’t seem to focus on topics other than motocross for very long. I think I am this way because of the wonderful sense of freedom and exhilaration that motocross offers. Or it could be the concussions. Hard to say. I’ve also written about motocross since 2001. My writings on motocross have appeared in Racer X, Cycle News, The Reno Gazette-Journal, Reno News and Review, and, of course, my beloved personal megaphone on all things motocross, www.mx775.com. I am also the administrator of this board. I am unclear on what that means, except that I get angry phone calls when people write belligerent things here. That’s all I really know about myself. **** Please cut and paste the form below and use it to make your own post on this thread. Feel free to amend this formula to include whatever information you want. I think many of us would like to know the people behind those cryptic usernames, so don’t get all shy on us--even if you don’t post here very often or at all. I for one would like to read about all of our visitors’ backgrounds. Help me out by making this a long and rich thread. Name: City: Age: Bike: Years riding: Class: Sponsors: Why I’m here: Thanks for sharing, Robert

Why I’m here: I've wanted to race moto since I was a young child but gave my all to snowboarding starting in 1979. After retiring from my pro career on the snow I saw my chance to live my 2nd childhood. Yes I need to ride more, and I need to race very soon as well.

Name: Layne Kolbet City: Reno Age: Old enough to know better! Bike: 1995 z50r, 2005 cr250r, 2007 crf450r Years riding: 33 Class: vet expert Sponsors: Big Valley Honda, Fox racing, Pro Circuit, Oakley, Renthal, Mettec
Why I’m here: I’m unsure….. I think it might be based on a chemical imbalance in my head and the love of the sport. I love sharing the knowledge and love for this wonderful sport. I have been lucky to work with some of the best families and racers in the motorcycling world. I think that most don’t realize how lucky we are to be involved in a sport with such a strong family background that also brings in some of the best comradery between all. A fellow competitor will lead a hand, so you can enjoy the battle with him. Its about the race and the epic ride….
This website that Robert provides is the information highway for local motocross, with great stories and interviews of local racers and not to mention some of great shots and race coverage!
