I apologise for the gonadotropic comment. I read the whole article about NYC, which was very nice except for the comment about it taking guts to road race a motorcycle. It was obviously written by a journalist who has never raced. One of the biggest deterrents for people thinking of participating in motorcycle sport is fear of crashing. If you start slow and work up, you won't often do that. When I started the motorcycle club in our town, we built our own MX circuit. We employ the Honda Rider Training School to teach kids how to ride MX bikes on our circuit. - NO guts are needed because the whole thing is systematic. When I started racing back in 1967 - it was not. These days most of the MotoGP riders start in MX.
