DMC was a bad decision for the AMA. They changed the rules so HD would win and now they have lost the series...in what, 3 years?

Didnt even take em that long, with miladin retiring and spies going to europe they lost what appeal they had, and it was nice how they stacked the rules so the buell could have an unfair advantage.

I wouldn't say it's stupid, but I see her point.

Supercross was half created simply so people could go to one spot and watch everything at once. And it's a fuckin kickass show to boot too!

It's hard for me to see a pro road race simply due to lack of tracks currently, while Supercross has 2 stops within 3hrs of driving distance of my place. But all that changes in 2013 we will have MotoGP/WSBK at the Circuit of Americas just 20min up the road from me.

Motorsports are dangerous. And that shouldn't mean anything different for motorcycles because all the hicks like NASCRAP for the crashes.

AMA took away the two races that I always looked forward to going to - Race 2 at the end of the season at Laguna and California Speedway. :td:

We sat in what I thought was the second best section in the whole place, and there may have been 40 ppl in it. Yet other crappy spots were slammed full.

With AMA, it dosen't matter...There are no crowds...This is the parking lot of that race...

Here's my take on the good and God awful of motorcycle racing in America...

The AMA is a great racing circuit, with great racing action...And the riders are easily accessible on the paddock...What they need is a group of people with extensive motorcycle background to promote and schedule it...

I mean, hell, they just went 2 freakin' months between races!!...Seriously???...2 months???...WTF???...How the hell can you be a fan of something that takes place every few months???...Other sports are on every week, sometimes more...And promoted out the ying yang...That's why they have a strong following...

But with motorcycle racing, the schedule is a joke, and advertising is worse...Until someone gets serious about promoting it, and having races at least twice a month, the sport will never grow or become popular...

They dropped (or lost, depending what you read) Road Atlanta this year, too. Bad move.
