I don't know about you, but I'm certainly going!
Now if the racing bikes include old classics such as the Triumph Bonneville thruxton SS or the early Ducattis and Guzzis I'd be up for that too, not keen on the plastic fantastic pocket rockets. Although when Norton joined the games with their rotary engines I almost got interested again :)

As for the F1 Grand Prix I for one am pleased that it is no longer a two horse race now that Renault and the others are more on terms with the big boys of McLaren and Ferrari

Default Underdogs...

I used to support Jordan even though they never made a huge impact. But still sad to see the decline .... Same goes for Coulthard, I suppose. :(

It all became a bit boring over the last years, so I'm happy about the current race for the crown! Yayyy finally a new World Champion!!! :D

Default Husbands fight to pole position

2005 sees the end of ferrari domination and driver domination [micheal shumacher] .The record books have been rewritten some say for good. As for this year all ferrari tifosi world wide will have to accept the other teams have done a better job .When ferrari was winning all the time the british press and public would moan and say I dont watch formula 1 its boring ,we dont like ferrari or micheal shumacher and theres no overtaking. Did you know up to now including the turkish GP there has been 74 less overtaking manouvers .Pit stop action has been reduced due to no tyre changes. But suprise suprise you brits love it this year I wonder why !! Loads more to say but wifes told me to shut up,so bring it on all you Ron Dennis fans.

Well Jane, I for one still think it's boring, ask your wife if she'll let you reply to explain to me why I should find it interesting suddenly...

[font=Arial]F1 started to become boring when Dear Bernie started to rule and FIA dancing with Mosley and stupid rules taking away the overtaking. Was a lot more fun with Mansell, Rosberg, Prost etc ‘kind of’ racing.

Road Racing (MotoGP) is much more fun, even the 125cc, some times having even seven race leaders in one race with a lot of action.

Am I the only peron that thinks F1 has become 'boring' since it became safer?

Bring back the big [flaming] crashes - then more people will watch it!

Its a terrible indictment on 'Society' today - but people want 'thrills and spills', overtaking does improve matters, but nothing beats a good smash up.

Errrm, the only problem with big crashes is that sometimes people die... However, at the weekend, I broke my previous Formula One record, I fell asleep before they even started... The drawback though, being that I then woke about 20 laps from the finish instead of the usual 10 :( :(
