Ok, check this out, StriVectin is a wrinkle cream. How the hell does that have anything to do with the SBK audience?

While I think it's really cool that the US SBK round at Miller has secured a title sponsor, WTF is with those prices?

They're so crazy high, it hardly seems like a legit gig? Miracle mystery cream, under an ounce for a hundred and fifty-three bucks? How desparate are people that they'd spend this much money on some snake-oil cosmetic?

Speaking of weird sponsors, how about Sterilgarda? They are a milk producer?

Does anybody know the significance of "Go Eleven" as in Team Sterilgarda Go Eleven?

Do they really think anti-wrinkle cream will sell well to the motorcycle racing demographic? Miller must have some GREAT salesmen working for him...

Wrinkle cream huh? Wonder do they sell it in ten gallon drums so I could sit in it.

I don't do math well. If it costs $153.00 for .9 ounces, how much is a ten gallon drum? :ack2:

For that much much dough, you could keep the weight and buy a bigger bike! :w00t:
