LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"I wasn't there, but the racing that I saw on the
Speed Channel was excellent, as it has been all year."
ALL THE ANSWERS?
REALLY?
In last week's edition's
"Letters to the Editor" [Issue 22, July 12, 2011] writer
Dan Jendre nearly filled the
entire page with complaints
regarding the Mid-Ohio race
weekend. I wasn't there, but
the racing that I saw on the
Speed Channel was excellent, as it has been all year.
Watching the four lead
bikes in the Superbike segment dice for the lead the
entire race sure beat watching
the runaway Mat Mladin-Ben
Spies episodes from past
years, and seeing BMW, Kawasaki, KTM, and now, EBR
in the mix, can only lead to a
better show next year.
The Daytona SportBike
class has turned into an absolute "must see." Just like last
year, those guys are so evenly
matched and the action in the
last half of the race is unbelievable - right down to the
checkered flag. Mr. Jendre,
if it is really too expensive for
you ($88 for gas and tickets
for two), then maybe you
should just stay home and
turn on your flat screen!

PAPA WHEELIE
AND MORE
I think Papa Wheelie is smiling. Please bring back "The
Latest Poop" now that Cycle
News is back. And how about
a 'Where Are They Now"
page? You would make those
of us that are still alive very
happy. The world is turning
into pure crap and the good
old days were truly that good.
Can we go backwards to go
forward?
I have been a Cycle News
fan for 40 years. I'm a So Cal
boy and I eat, live, love and
breath everything motorcycles. It's been my life. Thank
you Cycle News for keeping
me in the loop.

"The Latest Poop by Papa
Wheelie" is now simply
"In The Wind." And we like
your "Where Are They Now"
idea… Editor
RAINEY/SCHWANTZ
Thanks for the informative
preview of the U.S. GP. Really
enjoyed the piece with Wayne
Rainey and Kevin Schwantz –
two of my favorites – and two
men who should know what
they're talking about.
Can't wait to see what
happens. Good luck to the
Americans.
