It just keeps getting worse for the AMA

2011 schedule released, as of now, arguably, 2 of the best events, Road Atlanta, and Barber are not on the schedule. Fontana gone, which is good, i hate rovals. They will not .... can Daytona if no one shows up, but cant put a deal together for 2 of their most attended events. Obviously they have not figured out that the public is not buying what they are selling. Maybe they can combine CSB and ASB and come up with a full schedule.

It seems its rather tentative. Well that's quite the gap between the opener and Infineon. 6 weeks. I'm sure they will put something inbetween, perhaps in April. Fontana may be ugly, but its near me, so I hope they don't eliminate it. And considering its probably the only race in SoCal, where perhaps the biggest market for year around bikes is, I 'm sure they will work something out. Nice to see Miller back.

Please don't leave out ama's choice for motorcyclist of the year. One of the most anti motorcyclist you could find. His regime has killed off road riding in Ca. and now he has instituted smogging of bikes.



He does ride a harley though. Hopefully soon we will have a bagger class Super bike races.

Careful what you wish for, we get to see the HD 1200's rumbling the high banks of Daytona this year. We need to establish an over and under on how many finish. Can you just picture those things weezing for air on the speedway.

To be fair to the AMA, they picked him as a mockery. They were bringing to light what a horrible bill he signed into law. I like it, because it was a big .... You to him.

A bit off topic though I had to bring this up since you brought back some memories. Now don't bring out the axes (I cant believe Im saying this out load) I really enjoyed the series ama ran about 15years ago. Everyone ran Harley Sportsters (I can recall if it was 883's or the 1200). Even though a % dnf'ed and most that finished were smoking and backfiring at the last leg of the race. What had me hooked was all the frame flexing that made it look crazy outta control. Good times so hell bring them back all flexing and smoking. Good .....

I hope they did it as a mockery, but the way the work they could be waiting to see how it flushes out.



Still baggers on the bank? Could be better then pinks all out.



Never mind anything is better then that.





Here are the rules on the new bagger class. Absolutely no motor limitations,nitrous, superchargers,on alcohol anything or everything. But the bar height has to be 3" above the shoulders.
