OMG.... American Chopper

[DorsetBlue]

truthfully, it's a professional sport for about a half dozen competitors.

Ironically it is on the rise over here in the UK.  Following on the back of fun events like Dirt Quake (although Carl Fogarty suffered broken bones and a punctured lung at the last one!!!), there is a proper meet arranged at Kings Lynn speedway track in April (Flat Track has been an one series amateur event up to now in the UK).

Speedway and Grasstrack rule the roost in the UK, although ironically not necessarily with the motorcycle crowd.  Speedway fans are often not even bikers.

 Speedway fans are often more like soccer fans , correct ? Something more like supporting a local team , or on a larger stage a national team ?

 Grasstrack is cool

So how many pro flat trackers are in the UK?  I would guess zero.

However, I would bet that you have triple the number of pro BSB riders vs pro MotoAmerica riders.

A pic of our aprilia Futura...looking out past a OCC bike back in 2007??  We were on a trip to the New England area and I think we were staying in Newburg.  Hotel desk person asked if we were there to see the OCC shop.  Erm...  They said it was a couple miles up the road, so we stopped in and bought a bandana (for Kev's friend).

Ha ha, his name is Hank.

Ask anyone who went to the Heath Damn Yankee rally about the guy in the Gilroy Indian. I got the distinct impression the last time we were there that we weren't popular... Cause we kinda stayed up till dawn drinking around the camp fire and being well, we thought we were quiet.

On a positive note, as the evening wore on, more and more people brought us the beer they realized they weren't going to drink that last night. [emoji56]

so long as you don't dis Flat Track to Dusty.

BTW.   I went to the "motorcycle show" at the State Fair today.  I sold a few raffle tickets for Seaba Station and saw this.

This is the customer Indian Flat Track racer ($50k).  It's being sponsored by the OKC Indian Shop for rider #49.
