Agreed. Haven't cared about AMA Superbike and Supersport in years. Wonder when my interest waned? Hmmm. Seems to have coincided with NASCAR's interest in the series'.

I watched a 250cc race a while ago; on the final lap one guy nudged the rear tire of the guy in front with his own front tire just enough to send him off line and pass him. While in full tilt accelerating just past the apex at what seemed like well over 100 mph. Talk about huge ones. Young, small, wiry kids with incredible skills who still think they are bullet-proof and haven't figured out yet that some things hurt.

When I was their age I had to walk 20 miles to school in the snow, barefoot, and it was uphill both ways
