do any of you off-roaders think it will be too much for an 'old guy' to make a return to competion?

elmer,

I'm close to 40 and still racing MX (junior class). I know a guy who's still riding expert level at 53...! And one of the UK's top quad riders is 62...! So long as you're in good shape and reasonably fit, then you should be ok in competition.

I've heard mixed reports about Husabergs - but I guess you can say that about any bike...;)
