Obviously photoshopped. That one shows me on the correct side of the road and not on the brakes going into a turn. Pretty sure that never happened in real life.

No dude, that was me on the wrong side.
Seriously though. I was behind the big 'wing fer a bunch the other day. Didn't see a single hard part put down this time.
And I don't recall you on the binders that late in a turn at all.
Colin,
I am now understanding your target fixation dilemma. I too was mesmerized by Jay throwing that thing around like a monkey slings shit at the zoo.
It might say 52...in which case, actual speed would be more like 47...which is totally close enough to be legal. :whistle:Quote:

I shouldn't be on them at all. This isn't a race. If I'm not comfortable going that fast in a turn I shouldn't be going that fast in the "straight".Quote:

LOL. If nothing else at least you know what turn is coming up before you actually see it :).Quote:

I have no idea what I'm going to do if I ever get a sport bike assembled.
Definitely 52. I don't think my bike will even go over 60.Quote:

Matt, I think your speedo is in kilometers. You're fine.
GOTCHA! I have no idea what you're doing, Colin, but I must've looked back at you at a light.

Your eye was drawn by the dead sexiness that is a wee strom. Few can resist her temptation.
In that photo I am almost certainly screwing around with the camera I had mounted off the port side crash guard. I rigged up a ram ball for this outing. I dig the angle, but if I'm not paying attention I can bump the camera with my calf when rolling up to a stop.
It was probably that helmet of yours. So attention-grabbing.
The more I play with video editing, the more I realize it probably isn't for me.

Meh.
Probably, it says "this video is private"
:)
Nice stair threads though Colin! :mrgreen:
Bah. Fixed!Quote:

Brilliant video requires brilliant source and brilliant production.
I do really like that camera angle.
Ah, okay. For some reason I thought my 'private' video redirected to something related tot he stair project. But I didn't remember posting videos of that.Quote:

Rick, however, is a bit unique.Quote:

Like I said, everyone loves seeing 900 lbs of metal, plastic, rubber and fuel tossed about.
How do your stats match up?Quote:
