MotoGP » Emmett to contest South African Classic TT series

Sean Emmett is a proper character and it's a shame he's not seen racing regularly on the British circuit. I hope he does well in South Africa!

Pity they can't tempt some current GP stars into the series - would make an ideal way for them to stay bike sharp during the winter testing ban and probably safer than them tw@tting around on motocross bikes in the off season.

So many Emmett in racing community

He's still fast....at the Festival of 1000 bikes this year he was the mysterious guy that never got a mention from the commentators other than mistaking him for Mick Grant cos he was riding no 10....but it was him that was giving Kevin Shwantz a hard time on track. Old school, likes a drink and a party, nowt wrong with that if he can still make a living out of bikes, wonder what he could have achieved if he'd taken it more seriously?

Yes he has the style and the speed pity he left the the BSB scene much to early,having seen him ride in most of classic motorcycle club races this year i think he will be a strong force to be reckoned with,good luck.

My house is about in the middle of Kyalami and Swartkops, I'm gonna go watch these

One of the fastest and most naturally talented riders never to win the BSB championship. Good to see he's keeping his eye in still.

A great natural talent squandered through lack of dediction and therefore a lesson to aspiring pro racers.

I hope he takes it steady and enjoys the racing, but gets back to his famly safe and sound.

... lack of dedication

I will be riding a 250 at this event,Sean Emmett will probably lap me every 2 laps.
