I can't stop biting off more than I can chew.

I'd never be disrespectful to road racing. The sport was good to me.

If you get beaten, and you know that you tried your hardest and kept your focus, then that's all you can do.

People deal with the concentration needed to do well in a two-hour race in different ways.

I remember, my first season was 1999, and I must have crashed about 13 times in that first year. But then, in the second season, you crash about half as much and then, in the third year, even less again.

For my first race, when I was 19, I'd bought a 600cc bike. And that was far too big for me, really. I shouldn't have really had something like that. But anyway, I went and raced, and I crashed. In my very first race! But I never gave in. I kept going back and back and back.

The most common way to crash coming out of a corner is to highside - which is where you accelerate out of the corner, and the rear loses grip, then suddenly finds grip and chucks you off the bike.

I don't go out. I work, go racing, then go to my shed and make things.

Speed on its own isn't always so exciting. On a racing motorbike, I can do over 180 mph, which is fast, but not as fast as the airliners that we all climb aboard to fly off on holiday. Modern passenger jets can cruise at between 500 and 600 mph, but sitting in an aeroplane like that for hours on end isn't very exciting, is it?

Speed and danger don't always go together, but it's proper fun when they do.

I'm a great believer in setting myself goals, and I like to think that, once I've a goal to aim for, I'll do whatever it takes to achieve it.

If you were to be put off by every little problem life throws at you, you'd get nowt done.

I'm a bit embarrassed about how little I know about the First World War. I didn't even know that tanks were used in it.

I feel that I'm in good company behind the wheel of the Williams FW08C. It was the first F1 car to be driven by the great Ayrton Senna, and it won the 1983 Monaco Grand Prix.

Dentists, doctors, surveyors from Latvia wanted to come to England, do anything to get away from the Soviet regime.

Road racing has given me a good life, and I'm not being cocky, but I've brought something to racing, too.

I'll always give it my all, and to be with a quality manufacturer like BMW is mega.

The only thing I keep from the races I've won are the handle bar grips from the bike, the rubber bits.
