But no one cares about the Tour de France--America doesn't celebrate it, and we've been winning it a lot lately.
America celebrates sports it LIKES. Soccer fans can cry and insult all they want, but if America liked the sport it would be on a national level akin to football or baseball, instead of being largely ignored--and yes, we could certainly win it with an American league, so that's grasping at straws.
What boards are those? I go to http://www.ClubDesmo.com regularly, but that's it.
The main one is fjrowners.com -- but he's got a couple others that I'm not so familiar with. One of his buds from that site is who he went to MotoGP with! :-)

As if I feel obligated to appear on a water polo thread just to tell the folks there that a sport they simply enjoy is "inferior" in some way. (That's called "trolling," btw). Or that something is being held against me because I don't watch . . . a completely laughable proposition. And then whimper "look, soccer fans are insulting." It's comic.
Please understand that I do not object to troll-like comments. But don't claim to be a victim of the tactics you yourself employ.
And my original point stands. If you want to insult an entire sport simply because you dislike it, then the insult would actually have some weight if you were good at it.
As much as I would enjoy owning and riding one of those "choppers," I would be unable to avoid feeling like a complete pimp while riding one.
It's almost as bad as "Texas Hardtails" that has been discontinued, thankfully.
I wrote and complained about the dumb show and asked way Corbins Ride On had been chopped, They cancelled Texas Hardtails and returned Corbin's Ride on.
I have Corbin seat on my bike and I get their newsletter.
I don't know if my email had anything to with all of that; probably not, just good timing. :)
Doncha just love it when the timing of something makes you look REEEEEALLY powerful? LOL!!
It's called lying in the weeds. :):)
That's reason enough to not get a chopper.
I don't like 'em because they don't handle and are ugly. :):)
Yeah ~ it makes you think someone is listening. :):)

Maybe Someone is! ;-)
Ricky is amazing. The triumverate of Carmichel, Reed and Smith is a LOT of fun to watch when they are all hot! We're pretty much Reed fans here, but it's not because we don't like the others. Some of it has to do with the fact that the kids have all met Chad and the 5yo girl REEEEEEALLY loves him. :-)
Both Reed and Smith got their bodies bent up a little in earlier races and that allowed Ricky to gain such a lead.
Reed also rides a Yamaha and you have few of those don't you. ;)
I sent SpeedTV another email today, here's what I wrote:
Bring back 2 Wheel Tuesday!
Cancel that stupid Super Bikes!, it's a show for retards.
Who does the programming at SpeedTV, what's wrong with having a show for adult bike riders?
Bring back 2 Wheel Tuesday and Greg White, now!!!

Eugene, Oregon
Well put! I'm going to go one step further, and as for a real 2 Wheel Tuesday. All shows on Tuesday have to be related to motorcycles!
No Pinks!, NOPI Tunervision, etc.
Oh yeah, and WHEN IS THE GOODWOOD FESTIVAL AIRING??? LOL
I agree 100% with you and I love the Goodwood Festival!
Also the Isle of Man TT is one of my favorites and has been for over 50 years!
Someday I will get to both of them. Maybe on the same trip!
Wow ~ that would be super great!!!
