Motorcycles is about all the racing
I'll watch anymore.
It's like everything else in that there's
not any common man competition of
any kind, but at least with motorcycles
you still have to be skilled and there's
not any way in the present to let
electronics do your racing for you.
Black boxes may control the bike's
systems, but you still have to be
the most skilled rider to win and
not sand down your butt cheeks
at high speed. I'm sure the day
might come when they figured
out a fully computerized controlled
bike with a token human on top,
but thankfully you still have to be
skilled to persevere exactly like
