Title: MotoGP bike vs F1 car.
Post by: VladTepes on Tuesday, 15 January 2019, 10:37 AM
Interesting head-to-head comparison!

So - which is better? 

The answer, as with most questions, is "it depends". :D

I enjoying watching both, however as we are on a bike forum i guess we are more likely to agree that motogp rules  :cheers:

For me motogp wins hands down  :onya: The skill, the noise, the excitement, the characters i can't wait until the start of the 2019 season. 

I cut back on my tv package last year to reduce costs, which meant losing coverage of 'live motogp'  Leaving me  to watch the 'highlights' days later.

I've got to jiggle my finances and get motogp back on the box for this year!

Coincidentally i've just finished reading Mick Doohan - Thunder from Down under for the second time, and about to start reading Casey Stoner - Pushing the Limits  both riding gods in my eyes..... to name just a few.

F1..........:confused1:

@Milts we get our broadband and phone though bt and bt tv so get all the motogp live for free.
Since we changed we get more for way less than half of what we used to pay to sky and bt.

You buggers in the UK can get motoGP access for much cheaper than us in Australia-land.

I'm with the big man. I think BT Sport used to be added to the price of the package, then it was immediately discounted so we were basically getting it for nothing. Now it isn't discounted. I would check your bill thouroughly Seth.

We're good buddy
Looks like we'll be moving even nearer to you soon Emm a working at Strathclyde University last week.We're looking at somewhere just over the kincardine bridge to live next.
Hopefully catch up this summer somewhere .
Bt tv also gives free access to the bt sport app which is how we watched qualifying in Valencia due to it being biblical rainall weekend (on the app via my phone mirrored to the tv).
