What's the most fun you can have on two wheels? Here is the TOP TEN (Yes I am including bicycles):
10)Cross Country/Desert Racing
9)Hare Scramble/Enduro
8)Alley Cat
5/6/7) Land Speed/Hill Climb/Drag Racing
3+4)MX/DH
1+2) Road Course/SuMo
Ok, so some of these are tied; but we will get back to the TOP TEN soon...
What's not on this list?
Ice Racing Spikes totally make sense when you are trying to be Bad Ass in the Desert!
Just the other day they released coverage of the Superprestigio. Marc Marquez (world famous MotoGP racer) gave it a lot of coverage.. He placed 2nd. NOW, as as I tried to convince myself that this wasn't fun. I have to admit, it looks like a riot!! Grand Nationals are much bigger but it would seem like the smaller course makes for really exciting, elbow to elbow racing. But really, all left turns still has its limits... IMO. Besides, if you had unlimited resources you could look like M.Marqeuz. If you don't follow MotoGP, you really should this season was amazing. If you don't, you didn't get to see some real soap opera shit this past year. Marq Marquez was a spoiler at best, and quite probably a little shit. Hard to explain, but its worth some digging.
Basically this is a Micro dirt track race. It's an absolutely tiny track that forces extremely tight racing. Want to see the footage? Here it is. It is by definition, super fancy and exclusive. Even Rossi isn't allowed.
So enough of the boring stuff. Next up the Top Ten:

What's not on this list?
- XC Mountain Bike: Have you ever tried to sprint for 2 hours? Trust me, NOT FUN.
- Trials: Amazingly talented dudes on bikes that are uber light and climb trees but, NO speed...NONE. In fact, they pride themselves on not moving. It's definitely cool, and very challenging. Don't get me wrong, but bouncing up and down so you don't have to put your foot down doesn't qualify as fun.
- Velorome Racing: I have never been able to find one of these, for either a MC or Bicycle. Old school board track racing seems rad but apparently its no longer popular, it has died out. The only fun version of this would be a death ball. But then again, how fun can a bunch of XR100's be?
- Ice Racing: I used to commute on a motorcycle in 30 degrees and my hands are STILL numb. Spikes are very MAD MAX. If they would just take those fenders off, they would really have something

| Just more black please |
- Dirt Track (Grand National) Just like stock cars. Sure it takes talent, but its not fun going around and around in circles on a mile course. Nothing but turning left??? LAME. Not convinced? just ask Clark Griswold...European Vacation.

- Side Car- 'Nuff said: this doesn't really qualify. Motorcycle racing should not be a team sport. OK you need your crew when you are a Pro. Regardless, Three! (3) wheels and two dudes don't equal "Motorcycle Racing".
