Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone and his wife Slavica were given the ride of their lives on Sunday, when American Randy Mamola took them for a ride with the Yamaha two-seater bike.

Mamola, a four-time 500cc championship runner-up, took both Ecclestone and Slavica around the Estoril circuit in Portugal, where the eleventh round of the motorcycling world championship takes place this weekend.

After the five-minute ride, 70-year old Ecclestone was delighted.

"Incredible," Ecclestone said. "It's one of the greatest things I've done in my life, especially because I've done it with Randy Mamola."
