Normally in April riders get their Motorbikes out and begin riding as the winter has gone and the warm weather has arrived. Most Motorcyclists ride in the warm weather and at weekends were they will meet up with other riders and go for a blast on their bikes. However this year the weather in the UK has been dreadful and although riders got there bikes out, taxed insured and serviced ready to go, the weather has stopped alot of riders going out. Will it change for May? According to the weather men apparently not. The bad weather, rain mainly, will remain they say throughout May. So what does this mean?
Many motorcyclists are not venturing out on their bikes. Some of the places that are for motorcyclists have seen a big decline in numbers due to the bad weather. All we can do is hope that the weathermen have got May wrong and the weather improves and we all can get out on the bikes. Today (2nd May) the weather is not bad at all and i am hoping to see a few riders out tonight.
This week-end is also a full programme of racing, with the MotoGP, World SuperBikes (WSBK) and the third round of the British SuperBikes (BSB) at Oulton Park. Anybody Going?
I am hoping to get to Oulton Park on Monday but will be watching the MotGP and WSBK on the Tele this week-end. Casey Stoner will hope to grab his 2nd Victory this season but will be pushed all the way by Lorenzo on his Yamaha, while i will be hoping that Crutchlow finally gets a podium finish having a fantastic ride in the last round. Did anybody see that last race?
Its early in the season and everybody is still looking for the best settings and getting their bike into good shape for the season ahead. My money is still on Casey Stoner to win the MotoGP this season but i hope that he is pushed not only by Lorenzo but Crutchlow too, it would be fantastic to see a Britsh rider at the top.
So lets hope the week-end is dry and sunny for a ride out and Cructhlow wins the MotoGP
