Mr. Joseph F. Keenan
Chairman of the Board of Directors
Global Motorsport Group, Inc.
16100 Jacqueline Court
Morgan Hill, California 95037

Dear Mr. Keenan:

          We believe that under Delaware law, you currently have,
as you have always had, a fiduciary duty to negotiate with us, or
any prospective purchaser, regarding a transaction to acquire
Global Motorsport that is in the best interests of its
stockholders.

          As we have publicly announced, Golden Cycle, LLC has
proposed a transaction whereby the company would acquire, in a
transaction structured as a self tender offer by Global
Motorsport and subject to no financing conditions, approximately
99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Global
Motorsport (approximately 4.6 million shares) not currently owned
by us for a cash purchase price of $20 per share.  

          While we do not think that our offer needs to be
forwarded to you in writing in order for you to be required to
consider it, we are, in the event that you disagree, hereby
formally transmitting our offer to you, in writing.  Accordingly,
notice is hereby given of our proposed "Acquisition Transaction"
as such term is defined in Section 6.2 of your merger agreement
with Stonington Partners.  Considering that our offer is $0.50
per share better than Stonington Partners' offer, we are prepared
to meet with you at your earliest opportunity in order to
complete our proposed transaction. 

          Please note that a copy of our firm commitment letter
from NationsBank, N.A. to provide a portion of the financing
needed for the transaction was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an amendment to our Schedule 13D on
October 28, 1998.  In addition, my father (Alex Grass) and I have
agreed to provide the remainder of the necessary financing.

          We urge you to consider the interests of your
stockholders and contact us so that we can move forward together
in implementing our proposal.

                                  Sincerely, 

                                  /s/ Roger Grass
