AMA Fighting Proposed 100% Import Duty On Small-Displacement European Motorcycles



WTF?!  Now I'm REALLY glad that the AMA isn't running Pro Racing.  THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY NEED TO REPRESENT US ON!

So they think that after doubling the price of these machines, people will still buy them? I think the "$116.8 million" is a pipe dream with $0 in sales.....

World Trade Organization.... Somehow I just get an uneasy feeling for our national sovereignty when the word "world" is in the name of a rule making committee.

HAWK--  no, no, i'm saying "good on the AMA" for being our advocate! 

i believe one of the reasons Rob Dingman decided to offload the rights to AMA Pro Racing was such that they could concentrate more on issues like this!
