Looks like he's good on both 4 wheels and 2 wheels...

Doesnt surprise me really, some people have a natural ability on anything like a bike, car etc. Hes a born racer, hes got an incredible talent, an almost sixth sense. All good racers will have it, they will be able to transfer their ability from an F1 car to a sportsbike or vice versa, simply because the principles of feeling the grip, feeding in power, finding the limit of the machine is all the same, its just a matter of adapting to the specific machine.

it'd be interesting to see how he'd go in a V8 Supercar around Bathurst...or in a Nascar...

lol Red Bull should buy him out and stuff him into one of the Red Bull Air Race planes and see when he can do...

I agree with the V8 Supercar idea, and the Red Bull Air Race theme, but he [Michael] said he wouldn't race in NASCAR. He doesn't think it's interesting....

Reading his quotes in the article, I think its really cool that he is just doing it for fun. It shows that he truly just gets enjoyment out of racing. Even though a lot of people disliked him, it always seemed like he really enjoyed what he did when he was racing F1.

I like that he calls bike racing a hobby and thats all it is to him. He's not trying to climb a ladder or anything, he's just out there having fun. Its cool to me.

I guess its just cool to see how much he loves racing, even if it's on a machine with 2 less wheels.

I think it is some kind of natural talent.
Valentino Rossi drove a F1 car ad also drove a WRC car in a competitive race and wasnt that bad.

Just imagine if he wins Moto GP!?

What push the rest of the field off course did he?
Nah, I'm only joking, I guess he's still got something there!
