This weekend the USGP will be bringing the world’s fastest bikes and most talented riders to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca once again. And once again, U.S. television coverage of this most exciting motorcycle event will be lame at best.

TV Moto would like to be at the track, bringing you the best action, commentary, pit interviews and behind-the-scenes stories, but Dorna Sports, the Spanish company that controls MotoGP, has refused to do business with us and has continued to censor our original story on the return of the USGP in 2005.

ok these questions go out to anyone. I have a 1961 sportster that has been modified. My father and I have put cylinders off a 1000 sportster on it, a 4 5/8" stroker in it, a mild sifton cam set, changed it from right foot to left foot shift, built kick gears for it so you can actually get a full kick on it when starting it, we raked it a hair just to drop the front end and it has 1976 KZ650 forks and wheels on it so you can actually stop it... and it's best time in the 1/4 mile is 12.98sec...which I think is respectable considering it's a 1961 sportster. My question is for anyone who has put a 4 13/16" stroker in anything like this and if there might be any tips someone could offer?
