Endless motorbike talk can and does bore me.
Nobody within motorcycling has or deserves any respect.
Don't wait for your ship to come in, swim out and meet the bloody thing.
I race in two or three classic races a year and I may carry on for 10 more years or I may stop tomorrow.
I thought: This is not racing, it's a suicide mission.
They were ridiculous times. After I won my World Championship in 1976, I went to Japan.
