"The lights are red...they're greeeen!" "Down goes an Aprilia!" "Coming across the finish line—that's a Ducati in first!"

Racing fans, have I got your attention? Whether watching or participating, when did you first know you loved and craved the thrill of the race? Was it an iconic movie scene like Tom Cruise pacing the jet in Top Gun or Steve McQueen heroically outracing the soldiers in The Great Escape? Were you a Motocross racer as a kid, dreaming of being the next Ricky Carmichael? Did you watch a youtube video of Marc Márquez's unreal bike handling skills and immediately search for your nearest local track?
