Is it Too Late to Become a Motorbike Racer?

Is it Too Late to Become a Motorbike Racer? I took professional cyclist Alec Briggs out on track at Mallory Park. He wanted to see if it's too late for him to become a motorbike racer.

    I started trackriding at 54, racing at 57. I don't really stand a chance for getting on the podium, but having a blast nevertheless. I am also an instructor at the track, teaching the entry level riders. So never too late to start racing.😎πŸ₯³

    Absolutely cracking video and what a result for Alec, fair play 20s at mallory is a bloody lot to lose! Definitely helps doing all in bitesize chunks. Look forward to the next video 😊
  • im planning on starting racing motocross once im retired from work which is only another five years away my reasoning is i dont want to injure myself whilst still working full time so it is all planned out for me my local club has an over 60,s class and as im only 4ft5 tall i plan on getting a big wheel 85cc yam. i know your blogs are more based on the rr fraternity but i just thought i would comment.
  • I did a California Superbike School trackday at New Jersey Motorsports Park when I lived out there. I was almost 50 years old. The BMW was fast but the biggest surprise for me were the brakes. Lap on lap I would try to brake later and later. All the time there was this terrified screaming in my head saying 'brake now' and I kept having to ignore it. Great fun and a real confidence builder when you realise it is you not the bike that is the limiting factor. Well done @alecpedalerbriggs9876

    Started racing at 50 with BEMSEE, one of the best biking things I have ever done. (along with touring europe!)
  • @jbsworkshop
    I started racing in my late 30’s & enjoyed it but ran out of money fast so just back to doing track days now
  • I would love to do be able to do this! What a great video, this should be a series with different celebs / sports people…. Like hot ones for bikes
  • 20 seconds is an insane improvement... you need to come across the pond and give me some pointers, im struggling over here..
  • Does anyone know how I go about doing one of these track days and would I need my own motorcycle? Would be much appreciated
