Life is good when riding a motorcycle has become second nature and you can do it regularly. Well it is for us motorcyclists, and in numbers that have risen by 50 percent since the mid 90's. But I doubt though whether many of us stop to think about why. I certainly hadn't until I came across a source of snags for the future of motorcycling in some research data. In broad terms this was aimed at investigating why an increasing number of people in India choose to ride bigger motorcycles. Ironically, although government concerns are focused on road safety.

Why ride a more 'dangerous' motorcycle, when you could get around in a nice safe bus or on a small 110 to 125cc motorcycle? Some people don't even bother asking why because they already 'know' that big bike motorcyclists are just a bunch or selfish risk seeking snobs..

Fortunately for us big bike riders theres are a few boffin-like types beavering away in the towers of academe who take a more objective approach to investigating why people ride big bikes - and trying to discover what most riders really think about the links between enjoyment and risk.

On the face of it and especially to non-riders there are many reasons why people ride big bikes. These range from a powerful craving for an adrenalin flooded rush, to a simple wish to travel by the most efficient made of transport. In essence though, between these extremes, there is a common element in the reasons why most of us ride. It's fun. The trouble is that some folk believe that risk makes a vital contribution to the fun - and that the greater the risk involved in a ride the more fun there is to be had.

Motorcycle RacingFIXI Crescent Suzuki will replace injured John Hopkins at this weekend's World Superbike race at Donington Park in England with young British hopeful Peter Hickman.

Hickman has good knowledge of the Donington circuit, having raced there many times before in the British Superbike Championship. The 24-year-old from Louth in Lincolnshire will join the team this evening to get acquainted with his new crew and the Yoshimura-powered Suzuki GSX-R1000. He will be replacing Hopkins for this weekend after the Anglo-American broke a bone in his right foot and injured his left hip at Monza last weekend. Hopkins hoped to be fit to ride at Donington, but a specialist examination earlier this week revealed more damage than originally thought. He will have a further scan tomorrow to find out the full extent of his injury.

Leon Camier is looking forward to racing at home, as WSBK makes its first of two visits to England in this year's Championship. Camier is eager to get back on track and put last weekend firmly behind him as he aims to get a good result on home soil.

Motorcycle RacingTeam Crescent FIXI Suzuki's Leon Camier put in the third-fastest time in today's rain-hit opening Qualifying session at the Assen World Superbike Championship round in Holland as team mate John Hopkins slithered to 13th.

Camier got out quickly and made the most of the session while it was dry and before the rain started to fall at the Dutch circuit, putting in his fastest time of 1:38.468 in the opening laps. Hopkins, who went out later and was immediately into the wet conditions, was less fortunate and only did two laps, but both GSX-R1000-mounted riders are confident of more to come from both of them tomorrow, rain or shine.
