You read about the pair killed during the sidecar quali? It is sad but that dude is awesome, he is 67 years old. I can’t even imagine myself doing trackdays at 67 let alone competing in a race…

To the sidecar guy, I salute you! RIP

We have MotoGP and AMA this weekend, and I still haven’t watch SBK @ Miller from last week. 🙂

I’ve wanted to go out there for years to watch a race but its quite the expensive trip to fly to England and take the ferry over to the Isle of Man for a race LOL.

Miller was pretty boring. I can’t stand watching bikes go around a track which is almost as flat as a pancake.
