Rant on.

Jeez, Mark I'm getting really sick of this. The common refrain is not 
Mladin himself it's people on this bloody newsgroup going on and on and 
on (and on). How many times over the past few years have I listened to 
people making bloody apologies for AMA riders whenever anyone asks why 
they don't race at world level. It's the JIS. It's because they can earn 
more back home. Its because it's not fair. It's because they can't 
handle the food or travel. It's because it's different in America. It's 
because they don't race 250GP. It's because the USA is the biggest sport 
bike market in the world. It's because the factories spend more in the 
USA. It's because it doesn't snow in Florida. It's because Rainey was 
0.25s faster at Mickey Mouse Racetrack in 1982 than Abe in 1995. It's 
because everyone else is half proven. It's because my glass is half full 
when yours is perpetually empty.

Rant off.
