Why isn’t this a thing anymore?

And no, I don’t take sAfEtYcOnCeRnS or DeAdLy AcCiDeNtS for an answer.

As you may have guessed, the economic downturn and two world wars sandwiching the decades when motorcycle chariot racing was invented probably wasn't a great time to introduce the sport. It quickly fizzled out just about as abruptly as it arrived, which is super unfortunate considering how cool it is.
