If I left out your favorite rider (or team's bike) in the series give me shout.
I probably have some pics somewhere...

[BanannaMan]

Some very nice pics there matey

Thanks!!
Happy to share them with the good people of the org. :D

Awesome. :cool:

[shonadoll]

Those are great, thanks for posting them.

Mladin.............I got views of him, and they all center around the idea that I dont think he would find life so great in WSB, BSB or MotoGP...

Other guys though, they are great. Kevin Schwantz always seems to be in awe of everything around him, he always seems genuinly impressed despite being one of motorcycle racing's great

And I'm gonna go with the bike having issues....its a 2-stroke, which 2 stroke dosnt have issues :smt046

Soon I hope!
Would love to see a gal on the podium.
Best of luck to her!

The ladies will be happy to know that.... except for 2 guys that stay in the tower (that you never see)
...all the AMA officials for the series are women. (about a dozen)
