Alex Hodgkinson should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
That's the reason that I think bike racing is more interesting for watching racing. That kind of thing you see so often.

One of the greatest moves I saw was at the Donnington Park classic bike meeting in November. Two guys hammering along the main straight on their priceless 350cc Honda's (easily over 100k each) followed by this bloke on his even more rare Ringini. Bloody hell that bike sounds SO good, classic bikes put cars to shame with their sounds IMHO. Anyway going into the 1st corner he had his bike fishtailing all over the place down the inside of BOTH of them, nicely backed it into the apex and accelerated away on the back wheel..

If you get the oppertunity to go to any classic bike race meetings GO!!! They're like nothing else to watch. Multiple world champions of 20-30-40 years ago going absolutely completely balls-to-the-wall against each other, and I really do mean balls to the wall! They're incredible...
