Warning this film may cause motion sickness :yahoo:

Finally after days of trying to cut this thing I got it.

The sport bikes had a good head start on us.

The film has a lot of degredation from YouTube and is cut down to the 10 min limit. total film was 14 min. but you get the idea

 
Liked this one much better than the first one.............didn't have to go change my drawers at the end. :clapping:

 
Outstanding. Can we do it again. lol After the 1st one this a keeper. :clapping:

Nice video Fencer.

You were cookin pretty good I can't believe that MF past you. Looks like a blast.

What day of the week and what time was it? Seemed kind of deserted. That would be the best way to run that Dragon thingy.

Well done

Zoltan :D

 
Fencer great job. A couple of questions:

How much peg dragging did you have?

What tires and your thoughts? (I had Stradas the last time and liked them)

Was MSC on the back so you could show him how it is done? :rolleyes:

Tires were Avon Storms. I give an A+++ rating. no slip very confident handling. never any question to grip. I have a 1/8 wide chicken strip after this day. I examined the tires when we were leaving and they had the little rubber balls (like the pilling you get on a shirt) on the the sides.

I touched pegs a handful of times. MSC was just dragin pipes :p .

Having riden with MSC a few times. He is only behind me if HE wants to be there. He is only on camera if HE wants to be there. As you can tell in the video. I don't have a problem leaning the bike or throttling it. MSC is just smooth and reads the corners well. I am still jerky in the corners and learning to read the road. I think he runs Stradas as well. I am better than some and not as good as others. I can't wait for KillBoy to post this week. We should have some good shots from the day.

Zoltan, It was a Wednesday and was quite empty. Saw one PoPO.

I've got another vid with MSC riding my bike ( I was busy scratching his new Muzzys ;) )catching a guy on an Augusta he had a two min head start. MSC caught him in 7 and road his butt for the next 8. That vid is giving me trouble too.

First of all nice flick... Some advice i might give. Save that movie in a Mpeg-1 352x240.. You tube prefers it upload that way. You will get a much clearer video... Nice cool road the Dragon

Looked like a perfect day to ride. Out here in California you don't see a road that empty until the bars close.

I got motion sick on the video alright. I think it was the shadows and the fuzzy picture.

Nice riding.
