on semi factory 08 blade, great choice shuey....

[Hooli]

wonder if he'll ruin that like he ruined F1?

[castrolcraig]

admitted he was arrogant and occasionally cheated but bike racing isnt as fixable as f1, if he goes well it will be because he is good at it, not because his team bent the rules.....

good luck to him, would love to see him do well, nice to see such an interest in bikes from someone who has raced cars all there life, comes to bikes does it as a hobbie its fantastic, most people go onto something easy and out of the limelight, schu seems to really enjoy his biking at the minute.

[AndyDRZ]

Yeah, I think it's great that he still races now it's not for the money.. Good luck schuey... do well in this and you might convert some old cynics.

[StuB]

He's got balls then!

[Yoda954]

I have surprised myself here by wanting to wish him well on 2 wheels, and oodles of respec' is due I feel!

Praise the Lord.....I am converted

[Schmeeky]

Good on him! Should do a lot for raising the sports profile...

It's interesting that he's going from cars to bikes - the vast majority of folks I can think off that have raced cars and bikes have always started off on the bikes, and moved on to cars when their bodies can't take the pace anymore. Should be fascinating to see how well he does - I've got a sneaking suspicion that he might be pretty damn swift!!

I'm guessing that if anyone on here started 37th and got up to 21st in a major Superbike championship race before making a small error and finishing in 28th still in one piece they'd call it a MAJOR success!

Respect to the man.

[AndyDRZ]

That is very impressive!

Is he doing the whole season or was this just a one off?

[sprinter885]

Bet he's doing it to promote the "New Schuberth " bike lids !
