    How very true! "The fact is that in five, ten, fifteen years time there will be Grand Prix motorcycle racing. It will have its heroes, it will have its villains and it will have a load of middle-aged men harping on about how things ain't what they used to be. They'll moan about how these aren't 'proper' bikes and how you should have seen Kenny Roberts 'back in the day'. It will also have a rider of whom it will be said, "We'll never see his like again". Plus ça change."
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    I can't help but think Bill, that this new youngster MM, is going to raise the bar again. His bike control is superb.

    Being more obstinate, solidifies my statement.

    Just to mess it right up though, I am losing weight again.

    He's starting to defy physics now as well as his critics, an amazing pic.


    However he has missed the apex

    I want to see him racing in traffic like he did last year.

    This is my most look forward to season in a while.
