I'm offended by Frank's use of the word Hickok!! It offends hicks, rubes, hillbillies, 12 toed cousin f@ckers and dirt eaters everywhere! I demand an appology and a rocket powered pony!
Actually, one of my life goals is to burn as many hydrocarbons as I can, as fast as I can, before I die. Preferably in my TZ250.
And I am now offended by DaveK's inclusion of 12 toed cousinf@$rs with dirt eaters. Those two groups would never co-mingle (except in Pennsyltuki) I demand restitution.
What is hard to understand? AMA, or any sanctioning body, has a certain amount of fixed costs just to show up at an event, transportation for officials, gear, motel, salaries etc. You run 2 classes or 4 in 3 days it does not matter, drop 2 classes you have only dropped the costs for the purse.
Hell, if you choose cremation, you can even burn some more after you're done with the TZ. Anyway, I'll take an apology too while you're at it.
Hell, I'm a professional environmentalist (marine biologist) and . You should here some of the explanations I give my colleagues, usually involves the notion that racing motorcycles is among the most pure celebrations of the human spirit. There's a long essay associated with that but I'll spare you... if your carbon footprint looks like a long black streak of spent rubber on asphalt, it's a beautiful thang...
