Saw him race at Daytona some years back. I'd never been to a national road bike race before and was just blown away. 190 mph on the back straight. Eeeefuck.

Yeah, if you like motorsports racing and have never been to a road race, treat yourself. You’ll pucker when they go into the turns…and come out. This ain’t fucking nascar. 10 hours ago, mtnloverxtreme2 said: thanks. for making me realize how old i am. lol Me too! Lol (but it ain’t really funny).

Sael Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 Many, many years ago I went to the annual Louden AMA motorcycle races with a friend who was a super fan. It was threatening rain for the hour and a half trip over and sure enough the rain started just moments after we paid our entrance fee. Just then we also heard the sickening sound of a bike going down. The friend I went with reminded me yesterday that the bike we heard crashing was piloted by Mr Duhamel. The races were canceled for the day, I never got to see him race and I never went back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
