Yep, the old guy isn't riding. Although Valentino wouldn't go round there that fast, no run off and not enough spectators.

I would never attempt to ride a modern bike on any race track. I'd be certain to go into at least one corner too hot and deck myself. These days I don't go anywhere near crashing. The little do is easy for me.

The Nurburgring. Cars and bikes cohabiting at the same time. Crazy

I'd be impressed with that run even if it was a 30 year old rider doing it.

Close, I think this is actually 33 y.o. Andy Carlisle who is the current lap record holder. I think he was having a laugh with his dad.

Autobahn is more than sufficient. Drove my son's S5 Audi all the time wishing I was on his Foggy Ducati...

When I was a kid, I rode in practice sessions which had both cars and bikes. When you are riding a bike fairly fast, you sometimes need to look behind you. Where you normally look is at about shoulder height, you don't look down towards the area behind your rear wheel. I did that once and found an open-wheel racing car there. They are much quicker in corners.

Big fast race circuits such as Phillip Island feel fantastic, but any crash is a biggy. Plenty of young guys go there and have really big get-offs. To get some motorcycles to go around high speed bends, you need to keep accelerating.
