Because it's as easy as bashing NASCAR? Well they do have some things in common.

1. They both offer boring rides with antiquated technology.

2. Harleys can't turn in the twisties, NASCAR can only turn left.

3. They both are products of marketing more than the performance of the product.

4. They both have rabid fans that like to spit on the competition...Harley vs Ricers, JR fans vs Gordon and Toyota.

5. Both NASCAR fans and Harley riders are seen as blind faith loyalists, ignorant about the inferiority of the product.

6. And after today, it's like hearing Yoko has married Paul, with their beloved Dale Jr racing for Hendrick next year. JR a teammate of Jeff Gordon? It's just too much for many of them to handle.
