That's so cool that he can experience riding again, and he sure looked happy, but why didn't they show us more footage of the ride?
Disappointing for me, I was wanting to see his facial expression as he was riding but he had a dark visor so that was not happening either.
As he said, 26 years is a long time out of the saddle and he felt a bi 'squiddey' as he took off, I was worried he may lose his balance as he can not feel anything below his shoulders.
Awesome to see him ride again, a true legend.

I can not comment on being a former super bike / GP champ , or paralyzed . However I spent almost two years in a chair from a terrible motorcycle accident . When I was out of the chair the motorcycle days were over.
7 years later my first ride was SCARY , and tearful .

His moments must of been off the charts in the feeling department .

Agreed he was ferocious, and attacked racing. If you ever saw his pre race attitude/demeanor/focus; he was like a caged animal really on razors edge before a race. I mean he actually seemed near violent at times & ready to snap out during championship chases. He liked to isolate himself from everyone at times & appeared to be willing himself to Win like he was envisioning how the race was going to play out ahead of time. He was cocky bigger than life & a hero which isn't surprising at that level of competition on 500cc 2 stroke bikes that only a fearless master could attempt to tame. Happy to see him back on 2 wheels & what that must mean to a man who is now humble & given so much after his career.
