I was the Overall winner of the OEC Mini-Baja Championship.
2nd Overall OEC Motocross Championship.
2nd Overall MX1 Motocross Championship.
(tied for 3rd in MX2 but not enough races to count towards the championship)
5th MX1 in the Campeonato Regional de Motocross dos Açores
9th Overall in the Campeonato Regional de Motocross dos Açores
In 2015, I plan to race a 1997 Honda CR125 in MX2 in the Campeonato Regional de Motocross dos Acores. A 2008 KTM SX144 in MX2 in the OEC Motocross Championship, and the 2003 Gas Gas EC300 to defend my title in the OEC Mini-Baja.
AND... if I can encourage my 5 year old, he'll race a 1996 Husqvarna 50.

Next season I expect to be less fat.

I had a blast in '14!
Next season I expect to be less fat.
ROTFLMAO
Why? did you stop drinking?I am happy to forget 14 thank you very much. But I can walk again, sometimes without pain.
I will be riding in January, going to do a complete rebuild/restore of my 2000 YZ250 and probably buy a KTM144.
And post pics of the great riding in January, February for the damn Yankees.

Third place in our club's offroad endurance series, and finished the year off with a very strong second overall in our annual six hour hare scramble.
It was my best ride of the season, and will be the focus of my training for next season. Unfortunately most of that practice riding will be on a KLX250s. It's just so handy being able to ride over to the HS course, and put a few hard hours in after supper.

Speaking of that, how is the recovery so far luke?
The bones have mostly healed and I have started physio to build strength and get movement back in my shoulder. Man it hurts!

Plan is to try and finish in the top 3 for the season. Have 3 meetings to go.
Also want to get into the top 5 on the 500 for the season and stay in 1 piece.

However, the 450 just rolled out the garage this morning, and all going to plan, Xmas eve I will have its two stroke replacement under the tree. Not brand spanking new, but a very tidy bike none the less. Excited to be coming back to light weight nimble smokers after a year on a thumper.

In 2014 my son and I rebuilt and unloaded a 4 stroke. We have no plans to go there again... In 2015 I'm looking to find a cheap "buddy" bike 125 - 200 that my son in law could ride. As for me, I plan to get off my fat arse lose some weight, and run a few scrambles... I also plan to get more riding time in, and to continue to sing the praises of the smokers...

I would like to banish the excuses and run a full sched, end the year with the World Vet Championships at Glen Helen on my '14 SH 500.
We need you to join the play-by-play. Especially the World Vet Championships at Glen Helen on your '14 SH 500. I look forward to following your season~!

I also had a great season, actually the best of my life
When I moved to my current city I got scared about how fast the guys around here were, decided to do an effort to get a more competitive bike...waited months riding a buddy´s four stroke when results start to appear...so a doubt started to destroy me inside...I
Wondered seriously if my very first brand new bike should be a 2 stroke...I passed through this in silence until I got a 2013 TM125.
Good results came abourd the screamer made me cry in hapiness (!!) Seriously
When my 2014 TM 144 MX was in my hands...and man I got even more convinced to have made the right choice. Amazing fast machine, in wich I got:
2nd Intermediate Class São Paulo State Interior Region Championship
3nd Intermediate Class Minas Gerais & São Paulo State Championship
One win and about 16 trophys (most of them podiums) on various competitions from setember to now
However I consider the main achievements to overcome fear and getting over myself to become faster by training hard...what leads to get proven - even to the more skeptical 4t rider - t he value of a 2 stroke bike through running my bike on the front pack with huge and undisguised proud!!
THIS IS TWO STROKE LOVE!
I felt many people, mainly veteran riders, got predisposed to ride a 2t again watching my races being sucessfull on a two stroke
Also people in general support was great
Next year I think a friend of mine will get a new 2t also, and another one who is recovering from injury is very fast and excited aboard a 2014 KTM 150.
For 2015 I plan to arrange the first piton change (bike has around 30 hours and the piston wear is still unperceptible), lose some weight, and go ahead...Brraaaapppp!!!
Already anxious for the 2015 season
