Re: Pass the Grey Poupon there bro

Didja hear Greg White begging on last week's "Two-Wheel Tuesday"? He said that MC fans are probably the most vocal fans out there, but there just aren't that many of us. Their highest-rated MC show gets lower ratings than their lowest-rated NASCAR show. Even though I think his new "Greg's Garage" segments are lame, I still watch 'em, just to do my part to keep any kind of MC coverage on the air (er, cable).

Well, I'm not in the TV biz, so I don't know about that stuff. But I do get Speed on "Digital Cable", so I'm quite sure my cable company knows what channel I'm tuned to. I've gotta believe they're selling that info to _somebody_.

Lessee, now. Apply the France formula to AMA road racing, and what do we get? All the bikes would be Harleys, or at least _some_ kind of pushrod V-twin. Though they'd have bodywork that made them look a little like something else, and would be labeled as such. And they'd have really big fairings, all with the same shape, to allow lots of room for sponsor logos.



I dunno, maybe it would make for good racing. But it'd be a lot less interesting than what we've got now. And many of the classes now are so competitive that most forms of auto racing can't even come close.
