It's only in the support classes, but it's a step in the right direction.

Also in that article, it looks like the Trump administration is going to put a huge 100% tariff on European motorcycles in retaliation for a ban on US beef.   :-o  That should get very interesting.
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

I'm sure the tariff won't stay in place, but you would think it would be good news for the Japanese bikes.  I would think Yamaha would benefit the most, as they have more off road bikes that compete with the KTMs, Betas, and the like.
