So not realizing that it would turn into 327miles, about 9hours, 3 cloud bursts and temps in the 50's! off I went armed only with the Old Mans Adventure Bike and a camera...
We make it to lunch and the fellas bring me right into a little home coming of sorts... Southern red clay, all the way up here. Funny part was Mr. Bread took his 999 through it on the way out, like he was a dirt tracker?
Old Man's Adventure Bike??? That is one fuck'n sick machine- crazy pull! And you ride the wheels off the thing! You drifted the back end around snake's/freak's corner, almost scraping the panniers!
I went through the dirt and grass because i was too lazy to turn around.
would love to, but i'm working..
I want to go on another T Rd ride once my leg heals, I'll post details to try and gather some troops. I want to get my pucks a little bit more broken in

Heck yeah! We should have a VT Playground ride, like a couple of years ago!
I'm sorry the video is taking so long. I got some decent footage.. but accidentally deleted some of it, and the first edit that took all night to compress is too large to upload.
Soon!
saturday? sunday? monday? im still a pussy on the hyper as im not used to her, but i need a good ride to settle into it.

Very cool video...
Gotta get my ass back over there sometime soon. It looks like there are actually starting to get some imperfections in the pavement!
All I can think of is "look, there's the spot that Bill.... look, there's the other spot that Bill..." Bwahaha

Some things to look for while you watch...
0:17 Old Mans Adventure Bike lofting the front!
1:17 Smearing the yellow line paint with knee slider
1:35 RunLongVT heading in the opposite direction
2:05 Acceleration
2:24 Snakes / Freaks Corner
3:49 The boys kicking the rocks out of the corners
4:42 Old Mans Adventure Bike pulling hard!
Bread your blinker is on the entire vid
crap didn't pan out for me unfortunately...I didn't even ride the bike that day
Hell yeah! Let me know when you plan on heading over! Yes, the golden road is starting to crack.. but the bumps are the worst.. they were there before (one was painted yellow), now they are growing.
Hah, forgot about that. Still have another can of that paint kicking around.
Not that I've ever painted anything on a public road or would condone such behavior...

Dude! I woulda been happy with just some clips of raw footage, great job editing all up, tunes and everything.
Should leave some of the twins howlin' too, adds to the feeling of speed.
Was it the camera, or did I fall off by miles all of the time?
What a blast!
Can I send you a SD card or USB flash and get the raw from you?

Awesome, awesome video! I cant believe how the fish-eye effect straigtens out the corners and slows down the perception of speed, though. You guys were FLYING. Mighty impressive.
What's the camera/lens?
I was very close to including the sound of the bikes, but there was just too much wind noise to make it worth while.
The camera has the fish-eye, so if you aren't 10 feet off my rear tire, you are going to look small. The parts when i was following you, and you can actually see me in the corners - i was 5-10 feet off your rear.
If you want the raw footage, we can figure that out.. but i already lost some of it...
Thank you! The fish-eye does mellow things out a bit...
Gopro HD.
The entire day was pretty uneventful, and safe...
I had one pucker moment, while I was following Epee on his first hot run. I should have given him more space...
I left in the howling twin's soundtrack for your listening pleasure.
New to this forum, and intrigued by your T-road.
I won't ask you to disclose the secret location. But if you want to add another Duc from east of the App Gap to your squadron next time, I would be glad to join in.
