Everything goes well.

I do 270, 280 miles an hour.

And I genuinely do not sleep for two days.

Just the rush is like nothing I have ever experienced before.

No matter how extreme the road racing was, it does not come up to the knees of mile racing.

It is like nothing else.

Yeah, and I think that was the original buzz, was the fear.

And when it's not scaring you, I think we have a problem.

Because if you're not scared, then your mind starts to wonder, and that's when things can go wrong.

So what I do now scares the living daylights out of me, and that grabs my attention.

So as it is, that's what I'm going to keep doing.

I'm a fair hand, yeah.

I'm a fair hand.

I know, yeah, if it's going wrong, get away from the bike and relax.

Let it happen.

And yeah, I've got away fairly lightly all the time.

I mean, yeah, the bike chucks you off and you can see the roofs of the vans in the pits.

You think, oh...

This is going to hurt, but just let it happen.

Don't fight against it.
