It's kind of exciting
to go riding with him.

:13:03
He can't seem to get the bike
started, though.

:13:07
- New technology.
- Get it to the top of the stroke.

:13:12
J.N. Won two
of the first three Baja 1000s.

:13:15
He'd come back to team with Jimmy.
Who was racing in his first.

:13:18
He just recently won
the Vet World Championships.

:13:20
And now here he is
two weeks later racing Baja.

:13:22
And then in January
he signs up for Social Security.

:13:26
So he's had quite a year.
:13:27
Don't rub it in.
Hey, Social Insecurity.

:13:30
Yeah.
:13:31
J.N. Didn't get a lot of time
to reminisce about his past victories

:13:35
because Jimmy. Mouse. And Greg Tracy
had him on a rigorous pre-run schedule.

:13:40
Pre-running is when you get to practice
your section of the course.

:13:43
Now. In Mouse's case.
All the sections were his section.

:13:46
So J.N. Got to do a lot of pre-running.
:13:48
I'll tell you what, the ol' butt
in the last few days is taking a lickin'.

:13:51
- Taking a lickin'.
- No pun intended.

:13:53
We still live in different states,
so we don't see each other all the time.

:13:57
But when we do see each other,
:13:58
it's usually around
a motorcycle-based environment.

:14:01
And he's so, like,
compulsive disorder kind of...

:14:04
Really goes over things
over and over and over.

:14:05
And I can see myself when I'm
by myself becoming that a little bit myself.

:14:10
I love you to death, but some
of your habits drive me crazy.

:14:13
But the roles reverse. It's just funny.
It's just the way it is. It's life.

:14:17
Look at the McCoys.
We've seen that yesterday with them.

:14:19
Yeah, they have
the same relationship, kind of.

:14:21
They're kind of bagging
on each other all the time.

:14:23
Like a couple ol' hens
most of the time.

:14:25
What can you do about it?
It's your blood. They can't fire ya.

:14:28
Jimmy and J.N. Are less father and son.
They're more like clones.

:14:32
Well, I know I'm
a lot more cautious than he is.

:14:34
Let's try and be nice.
:14:36
He's just, you know,
"Yeah, pin it, Dad. "

:14:38
Well, I don't know
what's over that hill.

:14:40
So I back off and roll it off a little bit
:14:42
because I'm gonna go home
and cut wood this winter.

:14:44
I got things I gotta do.
Where he's just got a little more...

:14:46
You gotta have a little faith,
trust yourself.

:14:48
I do trust myself,
but that's still who I am.

:14:51
I don't have it that way, but I think
that comes with doing a lot and age.

:14:57
J.N. May talk about getting old.
:14:58
But how many 62-year-olds can
pick up a 300-pound motorcycle?
