So we won't be seeing the "Sterilguard" or whatever the hell that was last year? What is that stuff anyway?

They should get Trojan to sponsor the team. Lorenzo can put one of those brushy things on his helmet, Spies can do ads for the Trojan joy-buzzers, man, the possibilities are endless!

Thomas Jefferson wrote that the 1st Amendment erected a "wall of separation" between the church and the state (James Madison said it "drew a line," but it is Jefferson's term that sticks with us today). The phrase is commonly thought to mean that the government should not establish, support, or otherwise involve itself in any religion.

Its.......A FACT!

Petronas is the likely step up in GP. Otherwise, Yamaha stated earlier this year that they can afford 1 season w/o a title sponsor for the M1.

Wasnt it milk, I believe. You would think there would be more possiblilities for sponsorship. The sport has to get more recognition to become popular enough to warrant those sponsors. Sad fact is more people care about NASCAR then Motorcycle racing.

I pray your right, just dont see the attraction. Is it really racing when all ya gotta do is bump your competitor out of the lead.
