What’s Desmosedici 2-Seater Feel Like?

If you’ve attended a Moto GP race then chances are you’ve seen the Randy Mamola 2-Seat Desmosedici flying around the track and wondered what it must be like to sit shotgun while going around a track… Welp, Visordown, a UK bike site, has posted an article detailing the experience…

Then came the ride…. I honestly didn’t get nervous until I was sat ready to hit the gas, as you will see from the photo’s, like a switch, I suddenly realised the scope of what I was about to do…… unbelievable, totally amazing, such speeds, on such an amazing track, the curves the hills, the brakes, the lean (remember as Randy had a passenger he had to leave his bum on the seat and we still had mega amounts of lean), the shear speed, the anxiety, the fear….. ok, was only a few minutes, but every emotion, every piece of energy, all came together and when I got off the bike as well as complete elation… I was totally exhausted and my wrists where throbbing as they where doing all the work keeping my arse safely stuck on the seat!!

I struggle with words for this one, only to say, I have flown supersonic in a Tornado jet, jumped out of aeroplanes, jumped off cliffs and many other adrenaline junkie adventures, but nothing prepared me for this, if you ever get a chance….. do it, your having a life experience and helping raise funds for a worthy charity….
