Keith Cayton has competed in motorcycle races for decades and is still riding strong at the age of 56. But he admits that his decision to participate in his next race is “kind of a strange story.”
“I’m a painter, so I’m on ladders all the time,” he said. “I developed vertigo, and I was just lying in bed feeling miserable for myself, and I just had this epiphany that I had to do something that was difficult. I guess you could call it a midlife crisis.”
