Motosport 2 stroke commercial

They commercial shown during the beginning of the second 450 moto today with the 2 strokes wide open actually made me miss riding for the first time in a long time. I remember when I first started racing and the 250 beginner gate had all 40 spots filled and a second row with 10 riders behind them. I recently went out and watched a race and the 16 person gate had 9 riders in the 450 beginner class. Imagine how much talent is out there that flat out can't afford the sport anymore.....sad.
