"Hello," said a voice on the other end of my phone last Saturday. "You don't know me, but I have an offer that you can't refuse. My name is Phil East from Grifter, Grafter & Swain Advertising. We represent Technoswell Oil. We are starting a whole new campaign for our motorcycle oil and want to know if you’d be interested in endorsing our product."
The closest I’d ever been to a bottle of Technoswell Oil was when Jimmy Mac won a bottle during the Winter Series and his dog carried it off and buried it in the back yard.

MODERN MOTOCROSS ETHICS STATES THAT THE BIKE BELONGS TO THE FACTORY AND ONLY FACTORY-APPROVED SPONSOR DECALS CAN BE PUT ON IT. THE RIDER’S BODY, HOWEVER, BELONGS TO HIM. "ARE YOU KIDDING!" I SAID. "TECHNOSWELL IS A JOKE. AT THE LOCAL TRACKS THEY CALL IT "BLACK MOLD." I WOULDN’T USE TECHNOSWELL TO MAKE POPCORN, LET ALONE RUN IT IN MY ENGINE."
