Why we ride bikes
Seven-time F1 champ Michael Schumacher has spoken out on his two-wheeled racing escapades, saying he finds motorcycle racing more of a thrill than four wheels.
In a recent interview, Schumacher said:
“It is very different, you have to learn it from scratch — and exactly this is what makes it so fascinating for me. You know, on four wheels I know it all, there is nothing more I can learn or achieve. On two wheels though, I am just like a kid, trying out everything. Of course the feeling I have for driving, for lines, for tyres or my experience in racing situation helps me a lot, but in the end you are much more active with your body on a motor bike. And as it is so direct, the sensation is even higher. I really like it, it is big fun.”

Like it’s not quick enough
After the fun i had with the Shift Assist on my K1300R i decided that my Duc should have one…did some googling but could not find a kit for my Sport Classic, so i called Ricky at TriStar workshop for advice and he recommended i get the Dynojet universal quick shifter push type kit and they will do the rest…so i did, and the kit is here they will be picking up the bike today to mount the kit and tune it.
Can’t wait to try it.
Back to the future
In 1980 the world saw the first Katana at Cologne motorcycle show, the bike had aggressive body styling which broke from the traditional motorcycle styling at the time.
Many thought it was only a concept bike that will never see the light, but Suzuki proved them wrong and released the GSX1100S Katana the next year, the bike retained the same styling with few improvements.
The Katana was designed by the German Hans A. Muth of Target Design, the aggressive styling of a small fairing and the large capacity tank blended together to give the best airflow around the rider and the bike…

Make that a double please
Dominating race one and two, Haga made the perfect weekend for Ducati, Fabrizio was the tail man and made a couple of nice passes on Haga, but the Japanese came back just to clinch his sixth win of the season..apart from the last 2 rounds race 2 was a bit boring without Ben Spies of Yamaha pressure on team Ducati, the Texan had to retire after gear problems.
Strategic thinking
Today’s race was more like a chess game than a race, the wet track made the riders very cautious most of the race….the only action in the race was between the two Honda team mates towards the end of the race.
Lorenzo’s calculations were best, he decided to stick to the wet tires and increase the gabs until the time was right to go in and get the slicks..he was the last rider to go into the pit, Rossi had pit diarrhea… he spent more time going in and out from the bit than on the track.
A replay of round 2 of the world super bike will be showing today on Jazeera Sport 2 at 20:00, hope that will have some action.
Don’t miss it
