Since I was a kid I was fascinated with motorcycles.
Fitting, I suppose, that the person who would turn out to be
my best friend would be a motorcyclist.
One lazy Sunday, hanging out here in the Burrow, he put a motorcycle race on the tv.
"Watch Rossi," he said, "that guy's an animal!"
Rossi proceeded to move his way up from fourth to first and win the race.
He is considered the greatest motorcycle racer of all time.
If you watch him race you will understand my enthusiasm for him:
graceful, yet brutal, laughing yet deadly serious.

This video is a tribute to him and his team mate Jorge Lorenzo
after their INCREDIBLE heart thumping Moto GP race at Catalunya, Spain.
Rossi won at the very last turn... it was his 99th victory!!

Thanks to Visa Go commercials, also, for introducing me to Renato Carosone
- who provides the happy music!!
