Funny story from when I actually was racing back in college though.

I used to haul my 02 YZ426F around in my beater 86 F-150 that my dad had bought at a forest service auction and put one of those $100 paint jobs on. Not a real awesome truck but I loved it anyway.

I had stopped at a gas station to put some gas in my bike and into the gas can before I headed to the track. My bike was in the back and it was wearing the Bud Light graphics kit that was out for the Yamahas at the time.

So this guy walks up to me and kind of stares at my bike and then looks at me and asks "Hey man, are you sponsored by Bud Light?" and in one of the few quick witted moments of my life I look him dead in the eye and say "Yep, sure am. The Budweiser truck pulls up to my house once a week and I get my pick of as much beer as I want for free."

The guy just looks at me and says "wow that's pretty cool man." and wanders on back to his car....not sure what possesses people to ask dumb questions like that. You figure if I was a sponsored rider I'd at least be driving a decent truck, lol.
