I want to like Erik, really.

Unfortunately, I think he has too much Harley in his blood.

To be honest I didn't realize they were back out there. Good for them.

I still see them as a t-shirt company that also builds motorcycles.

Ama stopped counting as racing when they let a 1125 in the 600 class.

True the AMA lost some credibility with Roger Edmunson at the helm last year but they have come along way since he stepped down.

The 1190 has been run all year against the 1000s in Daytona Superbike and for a shoesring team, done very respectably. In Europe the 1190 clinched the Euro Twins championship, so yeah they race and now we get an opportunity to street title them again. I for one will consider it heavily against the new ZX10.

So he learned marketing from Harley? What's wrong with that?
Now he has the chance to do for himself what Harley never would do for him.
(market the brand properly)
