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!

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.

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.

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.

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

yep he has taken a bike around. 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
