FJR's on a local track day

[NovaFlyer]

Hi guys.

Just posting a video I did for my buddy Bullit ( aka Paulie ). We did a local track day this past summer chasing a bunch a squid boys around.... Surprised a bunch of them with how hard you can ride these big ass sport tours

It's short, but at least you can see yours truly ( 06 blue ) ... Mrs Flyer ( 06 FZ6 ) and Bullit ( 04 Silver ) given 'er.

Cheers

What a great video! :clapping: I like the way you start with the stills and segue into the video piece. I looked for other of your videos under your name, but it looks like that was your only posting to date. I look forward to more. I really enjoy making motorcycle videos, and choreographing them to music like you did.

I did the Pridmore track school (CLASS) last October and shot some video from the front of my '05. It's also posted on Youtube (Track day video). That's the instructors blowing by me like I'm standing still. Look for Reg Pridmore himself passing me with a girl on the back. Dude's quick! There were some bikes that crashed; thankfully I made it through the day intact.... One of the URLs under my signature at bottom shows my rig for that day.

Appreciate the Kudo's guys .. Thanx.

The music is from the band White Stripes called 'Ball and Biscuit' ... Kind of a neat blues touch that Mrs Flyer picked out.

For those that are video inclined, I used Microsoft Movie Maker. This was my first kick at the can so to speak and I couldn't get over how easy it was to play around with stuff. My next project over the holidays is a Vid documenting Bullit's and my SS1000 run this past June. Should be fun.

Thanx again for the compliments.

That is awesome!

Love the ground down pegs too !!!

 

[NovaFlyer]

Thanx GBlue.

If you look close, have a look at the bottom of the rear brake mounting point .. :ermm: : Had a little chat with Bullit about that one.

JB: Would you recommend the Pridmore school?

JB: Would you recommend the Pridmore school?

In short, no. Please see this posting where I talk about the Pridmore school: Pridmore School Review

There may be a very obvious answer to this question, but why were your headlights taped over???

 

[NovaFlyer]

The taping if the lenses and turn signals is to prevent shattering & debris on the track in the event of a spill.

JB,

That was an excellent video. How fast did you get up to on the straights?

JB,

Thank you. Not that fast, really, because Infineon doesn't have really great straights. I'd say I might have touched 100 MPH. Also, I didn't want to carry a lot of speed into corners given the FJR's constrained lean-over clearance.

But the other thing is, I didn't want to be one of the ones who crashed his bike (several did).
