This blog is dedicated to reporting on motorcycle racing, a recently acquired interest to someone who has followed races on four wheels for nearly two decades. Just a way to add some variety to my motorsports fascination. Covered here will be numerous races from the American and European championships for motorcycles. The American Motorcyclist Association, and the FIM (Federation International de Motorcyclisme).

John Surtees
John Surtees was another legend who had great success on both two wheels and four. Hard to find any really good footage of Surtees' early days in motorcycle competition. However, John Surtees did enter a classic motorcycle race in 1980 at the Amaroo Park circuit located in Annangrove, New South Wales. The track was in used for three decades, opening in 1967 and closing in 1998. John Surtees is shown as being a great rider, even later in his career, as this video demonstrates. Check it out, fans. It's a scrap between John Surtees and Jackie Saunders. Surtees wins the race.
