Why does she have to be attractive?

Plenty of ugly guys that ride.

oh you girls.....

Seriously, a woman doesn't have to attractive to ride...a point that is well documented. For advertisement and promotion purposes, they chose attractive girls to high light. That's all I'm saying. There was a rather large and unattractive woman that won the AMA women's motor cross title several times, how many commercials and ads featuring her have you ever seen? The new women's champion is a petite and somewhat cute girl...ads everywhere. I didn't set the system up.

Hell, the main reason our ugly butts buy bikes bikes is to get chicks! All the hot guys don't need bikes to pick up women.

The answer to your question is another question: How many penises watch motorcross?

True! Besides, it works the same for the men. Ugly champions, less ads. How many ads were there when Colin Edwards won the WSBK title? Ben Spies-tons! A number of years ago, there was an Italian kid that won the Moto2 championship. He was OMFG ugly!!! Jacked up teeth, acne everywhere, greasy looking hair, etc. It was like a troll left his cave to race motocross! Very few ads and those had him on the bike wearing a hemet! How many ads had Ricky Carmichael's face in them? James Stewart is getting his own show and you still can't pick up a MX rag without seeing Travis Pastrana's mug in it!

For girls it's more important. Guys are the target audience for motorcycle racing. The are the majority audience that watches it. Guys don't care if other guys are hot. They will still watch the races. For girls, guys aren't going to watch them just for the racing.

Boy that's for sure in most cases! It's been debated to death but I will never understand why women aren't out killing it in motorcycle racing. They seem physically perfect for it!

They don't have the same opportunities and equipment as the high caliber men.

Which explains why our Women's Cup series puts out a calendar every year (this year with less skin).
