Question Now that Honda is out of AMA, can the series survive?

I don't really care, the AMA hasn't been intersting in a long time. If I could, I'd rather watch the British domestic series and the Irish road racing series.

Those guys that race the Irish road racing series are truly crazy but the races are fun to watch especially when the launch the bikes off the top of the bumps in the road.

Yes the AMA has not been that great in sometime and I have not watched a race in some time so not sure I will miss it or not. I always had a better time racing wera anyway.

I have a feeling AMA/DMG is going to have some serious issues before too much longer

I suspect Honda has been looking for an excuse to stomp off in a huff anyway. They haven't been overwhelmingly successful, and they don't take it well. I'm not a Honda fan, can you tell?

This isn't to say DMG hasn't screwed everything they have touched. Honda's departure is probably for a couple years, and even if it's stomping off in a huff, DMG should be smart enough to figure out it's a very, very bad development. They aren't smart enough, unfortunately.

I don't think they are stomping off in a huff. They know ALOT more about the situation than you do. Have you noticed how many more were prepared to "stomp off in a huff"?

@binx19

My answer is: Suzuki.

Honda is unhappy with the management of the AMA Series and they are voting with their pocketbook...there's a lesson there for all

If you can't rig it so you win, quit? That's the only lesson I can see from Honda's actions in the last five to ten years in the AMA.
