Does Doohan ride anymore?

Post by MrStompy »

During the GP this year when the former Champions were doing their ride around – Doohan, Magee and Beattie - my mates and I got talking about how much riding these guys do anymore.

I know Magee does some stuff with race school here in Sydney so he is still riding a bit and ive heard of Beattie doing track days but none of us knew of Doohan doing anything.

Does anyone know if Doohan rides bikes at all anymore (other than this years gp)?

The thing they were doing at the GP would have been so much better if they had of just hit it and raced each other :D

anyway its friday arvo and im just trying to avoid working ;)

I reckon Beattie's been practising his stunting skills...he did a huge wheelie down Gardener Straight



...dunno 'bout Dick Moohan though

I found some pics of him riding a CBR1000 on his website http://www.mickdoohan.com.au/" target="_blank" target="_blank

""I still enjoy riding motorcycles as much as ever, but my racing days are over," said Doohan. "The corners seem to come up quicker these days, even though I'm riding slower!""
The world is round. It has no point.
