Quite a coup for Yamaha and the Milwaukee team.

He should be a magician that's twice he's pulled a rabbit out of the hat.

pleased he has a ride with a factory ish team Lets see what it can do . Reading a bit of a review of his year in the fast bike mag it seems the bmw was not all it was cracked up to be and needed some taming as it was a bit of a beast.

I really hope Martin goes well on it and hopefully gets his maiden win.

He's often said his first win at the TT will be his last race there.

I've often said that's my last drink, and then had another ten
He won't quit he loves the rush and buzz of it all and TV presenting or fixing trucks wont give him that.

I think he hates all the media stuff that goes with it.
He's had a few fallings out with the organisers over the years and I think he would be happy to just do the Classic and Southern and Irish races in the future.
