Been reading this forum for several years now and decided to post this as my very first! Didn't know if this belonged in "other motorsports" or here. So, be easy on me for the first time! I saw that no one posted this yet. Thanks for looking!

Seven-times Formula 1 World champion Michael Schumacher has proved he is almost as expert on two wheels as four after a podium finish on his motorcycle racing debut.
The 39-year-old German was third on a Honda Fireblade in a cup race on the 4.5km Pannonia Ring in western Hungary on Good Friday
2007 German Superbike championship winner Martin Bauer won.
The German received some tips from former 500 GP rider Randy Mamola before climbing on to the bike. He had impressed 2007 MotoGP World champion Australian Casey Stoner last November.
Schumacher said he still preferred four wheels to two and was reported to have been very nervous before the race.
"I only did it for fun," he said. "I prefer driving." - Sapa-AFP
