Re: Team Green Sponsors Teen Female Phenom Elena Myers.

I'm rooting for Elena to succeed at every level. Aside from her seeming to be a good kid ( I've been following her column in Roadracing World) I think her success would bring notoriety that would be a boon to roadracing and motorcycling in general.

"Kids don't smoke" sponsoring a 2-smoke racer?

Ahh, the irony...

Remember- the bike has a minimum weight. If she's a small girl then the edge she has with being lightweight will be to her advantage. More power to the girl. Good Luck ;-)

Re:

Well, at least it's a more achieveable goal than "Kids, don't snort smack" or "Kids, don't get pregnant".

Hope she does well. Might bring more females into motorcycling.



Not as much as an auto-transmission motorcycle would, but I gave up beating that dead horse years ago.

We need to switch this conversation to losing our rights to smoke (since we haven't had a helmet battle in weeks). Any state without a helmet law should allow everyone to smoke their brains out anywhere and stop exploiting children in the pathetic attempt to protect adults from themselves.



Ah, the irony.

Kids don't smoke, and smokers don't kid!

If the anti-smoking zealots - including the folks at the ironically-named "truth.com" - put as much sponsorship money into racing as the tobacco companies did, I'm all for it.



BTW, with all the money the soft-drink companies toss around on advertising, you'd think they could spare a little for roadracing, wouldn't you? Be nice to see a Pepsi Suzuki out there again.
