andmar54, hailwood didn't win a world title on 4­ wheels, although you are correct with your comment re­ John Surtees, the only man two have won WC on two and­ four wheels. Seriously though, we shouldn't expect­ Herr Schumacher to even finish in the points at most­ races. The guys at the front are just too accomplished.­ He's here for a bit of fun and Honda will get­ priceless publicity and endorsements out of it.­ Everyones a winner

at the end of the day schumi on 2 wheels and all the­ positive publicity that that brings can only raise the­ profile of every aspect of the 2 wheel lifestyle and­ hopefully when our racers win races/ titles etc or are­ sadly injured/killed it will make the mainstream news,­ lets face it a z-list celeb falls out of a club and is­ sick on a photographer it makes the mainstream, very­ talented and up and comimg champion gets killed at­ brands hatch [craig jones]- NOTHING!!!!

he loves bikes and has the means and oppurtunity to do­ it, good for him. don't be envious, let him enjoy­ himself

Bring on Schumi,might take awhile to get up to speed­ but just watch him teach the rest
the meaning of­ 'racing'

To be fair, I don't think he will finish last and­ if he doesn't, maybe you need to ask what are those­ riders that finish behind him doing there. Anyone who­ can get themselves on a World championship grid,­ however it happens, should be respected for it. Anyone­ out there that would turn down the same offer?

There just trying to get him to run before he can even­ walk just to big up the name of Honda.
Bozzie­ there's going to be 5 brits in WSB fighting for the­ championship next year.

one thing can you imagine the publicity it would bring­ to wsb and bikes in general can only be good.still get­ his @#$% kicked tho

andmar54, it's nice to see John Surtees name on­ this post.

Oi X RACER the answers yes, 6 years club 2 years­ national and 3 years BSB privateer and 1 year henderson­ cup, Why fancy having a go !!!!!

After a lack lustre 2008 (yes I know Troy Bayliss walks­ on water) Michael Schumacher will be the best thing­ that has happened to WSB since Raymond Roche. Thing is,­ will he be able to do what what John Surtees and Mike­ 'The Bike' managed ?

If he does WSB he'll look stupid, He wouldnt cut it­ in BSB's never mind WSB, He's probably a good­ rider but he wont be at the level required he's not­ stupid he know's that... Michael will stick to the­ German Superbike Series where he can have fun and where­ his fans can still pay money to see him go round in­ circles!
Everyone's A Winner...

Any of you guys every acually ever raceed?

schumi, honda, wsb's, bring it on, can't wait

Lets be realistic.ie.Schumi was probably the best ever­ on four wheels....erham....IN HIS PRIME....in other­ words the last few years in F1 his bottle had gone and­ he was just going thru the motions.....oh and the­ thought of Schumi on 2 wheels when he hasnt the bottle­ for 4,dont make me laugh-leave the guy to his truss,to­ count his millions in the swiss alps-The king is­ dead....long live the king(Lewis Hamilton)

Sure some of the things Schumey did are not approved of­ by everyday bods, but these are racers. Capirossi did­ exactly the same to win his 250 crown yet now he is­ loved. Just don't get hurt Michael and let us all­ enjoy it.

Hail Schumi!

He is what we called God of Speeds and he­ is the true `Legend of Speed'

well it is one way of getting rid of a legend. He is­ NUTS if he accepts and Honda must be bloody mad to­ offer it

I think if if he goes to Superbikes he may get a bit of­ a shock, Don't forget next year there are four­ brits on the grid who will not give any airs and graces­ when it gets a bit nasty, he won't have a bike­ thats got more aids than an Ann Summers catalogue to­ play with, and most of all he has only played at this­ bike thing, these other guys are going for a World­ Championship, They are going to be letting it all hang­ out at flat stick speeds over nearly 30 laps, there is­ no way is this guy going to live with them, Don't­ forget Max Biaggi fought the worlds best ever rider­ (Valentino Rossi) and lost so what the hell is this­ pretender going to do ?

He has nothing to prouve, world champion 7 times, let­ him have fun at something else, just because he is good­ at that too, dont hold it against him, as for the­ remarks about lewis hamilton, he is world champion thie­ year was runner up and so easily could have won last­ year, give the boy credit, another star for sure.

Is it Ok to call sombody a 'Hun'? - I don't­ hear any cries of 'racism'.
