Thanks man! I had a Suzuki RM 80 when I was a kid, and an XR200. I hear ya about the body not being able to take what it used to. Not looking forward to the inevitable lay down! In the meantime I'm riding a bit more cautious than I ever did :)

You are one step ahead of most... Many think they are so good that there won't be a "lay down". At least you are wise enough to know it is very possible - that will probably be what saves you from it! Risk factors are drinking and riding... Sand on pavement... and those damn ditches you don't see coming... ha ha
