I have been watching an economist on TV. He mentioned the new networking paradigm which is replacing vertical integration, I get the impression that one day computer games might have the ability to kill the players.
What seems to be missed is that in my opinion, life is about having fun. I cannot imagine ever racing an electric motorcycle. I might be sick, but when the motor starts making that noise and the bike vibrates, I have to start riding it.
The nicest motorcycle I ever rode, was a 1961 500 cc Manx Norton. I think the Lansdowne series is really beautiful. If we had races which specialised in two-valve single cylinder four stroke, we would be able to build our racers from scratch and be competitive.
One of my friends is 83 and is now in hospital dying of cancer. He built a CB125 Honda into a very respectable little racer. But it was never going to be anything - there was never a race class for it.
If we had the four race classes we had in the fifties and excluded two-strokes and multies, we might actually hve a set of fun race classes.
