[Cajun]

I have enough trouble just riding like that with me on!

[GR81]

close your eyes, its easier :P

[gamgee]

haha thats awesome, i was expecting some slow upright tour lap, but he looked like he was pushing pretty hard in some of the corners!

[HenryDorsetCase]

does anyone else think he had a death grip on Randy's nuts, and the thing was if he went too fast they woould be ripped right off?

cool of him to give Randy a helmet too.

[sil3nt]

it had handles so he wasnt grabbing randy :P

[Motu]

Yeah,that's orsome - to pillion someone of that level....Mamola straight into that long wheelstand with no intro,the puff of smoke when he drops the front...stoppie at the end.Schumacher knows that track like the back of his hand,it's Ferrari's test track and he's done countless miles on it,done some huge crashes on it going much faster than on the bike.Yet Mamola is much more skilled on a bike than him....I wonder what he was thinking? In his mind he would have different braking points,different lines.I wonder if Schumacher has ever taken one of his bikes around the track? He likes bikes,it's hard to imagine him not going out for a quick squirt when the boss is not looking....

I'm pretty sure he must of, the chap is a known bike lover and is supposed to be a pretty decent rider too.

[Motu]

But he's also a serious German...hard to imagine him being naughty....

But he's also a serious German...hard to imagine him being naughty....

What?? His actions at the last F1 race were shameful - way past naughty.

[UrbanMyth]

wow! the scream of the Ducati gives me that shiver like when you hear really good music.Looks crazy at some points like they have double exposed a rider over a rider how they have there legs at similar angles.

Awesome video mate,Good ol' Schumacher

I saw a link for the vid earlier but it was 2 years old and the vid was gone. I will hunt it down for you :first: :yes:

Randy still got the skills, and 2up would give me the learn, on my own, I want that ducati, got to make a street version, thats way cool.

[Darkman]

man..that is one ride I would love to go onto..

The officials reaction was past naughty, I bet if it was Alonso that had stopped on the track nothing at all would have come of it.

[saul]

That was fantastic, so smooth and effortless, thanks C:blip:

[scracha]

I've got some German [*1] video's, now I can't imagine German's NOT being naughty?

[1] Well I think they're German. The ladies shout "ja ja" a lot <smirk>

Kinda like if someone else pulls a dodgy passing move here instead of me.:wait:

This isn't the end for Mr. Shoemaker - he is to face a panel and offer and explanation for his actions, even his position as president of the drivers association is being reviewed.

I think they are, but you need to have a lazy $70,000 or so.
And I'm not sure that was $NZ.
