The Nurburgring, Isle of Mann, that was SERIOUS racing. He is also the only person to win Championships on both two and four wheels. Sorry, but Rossi doesn't even compete IMO.

But yeah, you could be right, he could be doing it just for fun.
if its just for fun or charity or something, thats cool-but as far as GOAT when it comes to motorcycle racing, the fact that surtees won on four wheels shouldnt be a factor. not saying rossi over surtees, but unless u meant GOAT in motorsports period, who cares what he did on 4wheels...
