My best friend Reece Steel is also a massive motorsport fan. So I decided to do a quick interview with him. Its a text interview because he was at work while I was texting him.
Ravic: So what is your favorite motorsport?
Reece: As much as I like watching the F1, the Moto GP is my firm favorite.
Ravic: So I take it you prefer Bikes to cars
Reece: Of course, but there are still many cars I would love to own.
Ravic: When did your interest in bikes really develop?
Reece: Since my dad was and still is a bike fanatic, I suppose my interest came from him. I was always surrounded by bikes. and as soon as he thought I was old enough, he took me out on the back of his. Thats when I fell in love with them.
Ravic: You have had quite a few motorbikes and mopeds already. Which would you say is your favorite?
Reece: Well I know my 600cc Honda Hornet is the fastest, but whenever I saddle up on my Yamaha dt125, it always makes me so happy.
Ravic: What is it about bikes that keeps you thinking about them all day?
Reece: I love the fact that for £9000 you can by a Yamaha R1 and hit 200mph fairly easily. Not to metion accelerating past almost road lega any car in existance between the light. The best you can get for £9000 in terms of cars is probably a Suzuki Swift, which is a good car but can only just do half the top speed of the Yamaha.
Ravic: What makes the Moto GP such a big part of your life.
Reece: I think it's just how skilled you have to be to race like that. I'm not suggeting that any other types of motorsport require less skill, becuase each type of racing is unique. But I love watching the riders lean in so far that their knees scrape the floor. Then they level out and rocket up to 200mph like it was and everyday chore.
Ravic: One final question then, seeing as Jorge Lorenzo won the Moto Gp championship last year in the 2009/2010 season, who do you think will win the 2010/2011 season.
Reece: Valentino Rossi is my favorite rider, but I'm going to have to go with Casey Stoner providing he doesn't have any injuries like last year.
