That looked like a blast!

I still miss my bikes after 25 years of not riding one. I rode for 19 years in the UK and was a motorcycle riding instructor for 14 years, a training course examiner for 10 years and a DoT Pt.1 Motorcycle Driving Test Examiner for 5 years.

Since I moved to Canada I haven't been able to afford one (a young family took up all my spare cash) and then I got hit by a disabling illness and that put paid to any hopes of riding two wheels again.

I must admit though that if I ever win the lottery I WILL be buying a Can-Am Spyder as I'm sure I can handle one of those, illness or not!

Never drove a motorcycle before, but that looks like tons of fun!

it's up and working for me.

Sometime pootube is a bit like that
quite often I get not available in my area when looking at American videos ????

Sorry mate.

[Airspeed]

Not your fault, Rick! We have a poor connection here, get those disappointments regularly!
Anyway, it worked later in the evening.
What a great day out!
Must have cost a dollar or six.
Even at those speeds, don't the corners come up fast? Wow!
That right hander (just before the gantry and diverting cones) gave you both a spot of bother, eh what?
Pleasantly surprised to see that they allowed overtaking. I was concerned at first that you were all told to hold your positions, to avoid crash possibilities.
Super thanks for sharing, pity the wind muffled your beautiful Ducati exhaust
Got any more like that?

Hi Mike

Yep does look slow in video.

you can see me hitting the rev limiter in 5th (flashing red lights at top of dash) at end of start/finish straight which limiter comes in at 140-145 mph so not as slow as it looks in video.
biggest problem was bikes where both setup for touring round Bavaria so a bit soft for the track.

I got exhaust and both footrests & gear and brake foot levers on the ground.

we had ridden 800 miles from Southern Italy the day before too so quite tired
