Most people think he has nothing to loose. He made history and that cannot be undone. He got so bored by not racing that he did these incredibly dangerous bike races and training sessions. I would rather see Michael bashed for that silly stuff.
It was really stuff for young people who get on the bike at the age of 12 or 14 years. By the time they can have a driving license they are either dead or have learned how to crash without much damage to their vital parts. They also brake their bones with much less healing problems at 20 than at 40.
Michael got his first motor bike 1994 as a present by Willi Weber. It was a Harley. I think he got infected by the "doctor" when Ferrari considered him to race 2006.
I'm seriously determined to enjoy this season as I'm enjoying this thread.
