Re: Nicky in USA Today
Yeah more positive publicity. We need that for this sport to grow, however, I personally don't want it to. That will just cause prices to soar and cops to ticket us even more.

What's the matter, you don't like the fact that Motel 6 is charging $350 a night during the USGP? That's their normal rate in the area. I mean local businesses wouldn't intentionally raise their prices to take advantage of Joe Six Pack?

It's the american way!

Re: Nicky in USA Today
HAHAHA, yeah I know it's the American Corporate Business way not necessarily the America's citizen way! It's not so much that stuff but the more popular the sport becomes the more prices will go up on everything. Tires would cost more, gear, mods, bikes, everything will just cost more and we don't need that because this stuff is already on the expensive side. I think it's great that MotoGP is getting some recognition in the US the sport needs that because Americans sure will buy up merchandise to help support it and of course the downside, we get more shows like Superbikes.

Our local rag here in Bugtussle actually ran the AP story with a photo in the Sports section today...
