"Always been a fan of the motorcycle racing, have a look at the TT riders. They make the BSB/WSB boys seem like softies. But can they race in a pack around a curcuit,the tt boys have tried and failed at bsb" Rossi was once quoted that he is crazy at times on a bike, the TT riders are insane. Road racing is likened to rock climbing without a rope, everything is fun but with a dollop of danger thrown in. | |||

"And contractual, can't see a top team wanting their top rider getting injured in a different competition. I used to ride sports bikes and go/watch the racing, it's a far better spectacle than F1, the risks are higher, margin of error smaller and the gaps between the finishers a lot smaller - all adds up to greater excitement | |||

"Great isn't it! I ride a sports bike, and on the warm roads of summer I crank it over, I always think I get pretty low, but these guys, Fuckin elbows down! Brilliant. "Got to remember, they don't have oncoming traffic, sunday drivers, tractors, muck on the road, junctions etc. If you only rode on a track, you would soon be leaning over more and carrying more speed.

"Maybe not a super bike but my brother owns a barely ridden and mint condition motorbike called a Hesketh. " I`m not into bikes at all but earlier this year went to the British Motorcycle Museum. There is apparently over 1,000 bikes there and I`m sure there`s a Hesketh there too! I`d be very surprised if there wasn`t! At the far end of the museum is a display of the rotary Nortons that re-introduced ? the marque back to racing. All of the bikes were matt black and totally devoid of any sponsor`s decals as I believe they were racing on a shoe-string budget. The rider`s names pricked a few memories - Terry Nation, Ron Haslam to name two! We had a guided tour around the site by a guy who`s involved not only with the museum but the Friends of Ferguson Heritage - Dave Mac. | |||

"I love BSB but F1 takes it for me. The fitness of the drivers is immense. I'm friends with a former BSB champion (we went to school together) and whilst he's fit, even in his heyday he had nothing on some of the ex & aspiring F1 drivers than train at the same gym as me (Max Chilton when he's home and Sam Bird Formula E)." Maybe then but fitness levels of the top riders now is amazing. | |||
