Finally with a soundtrack!!
O.K. Posted this up a while ago , but couldn't attach the sound file I wanted , but have now managed to do it , partially thanks to Sir Trout!
So have a look again if you like , I thought long and hard about the music , but in the end I decided this was an appropriate track , unfortunately had to use a lower quality video/sound in order to upload . I'm sure there's probably a way to compress the file and then upload , but I'm bugg3red if I know how

If you look at the turn at about 1:16 you can see the patch of grit where the poor guy on the Aprillia came off and ended up in the hedge opposite.
Steven, Two thumbs WAY up for that ride. Not only is the area absolutely beautiful, but you made my marbles hop a few times on those curves. That was exciting. I am so jealous of your environment. When you met that one car on the curve, I frick'n leaned over. I swear you were dragging your elbows. A couple of those curves were seriously tight and you didn't even slow down. That's not a good example for the children.
That was the best. Crap. The bar is pretty high darned now.

Thanks for the thumbs-up Joe
I can't claim to be too much of a hero though , I've ridden that route nearly every day I can , so I'm starting to get it down
I'm lucky to have about a 40 mile circuit which is pretty much all that kinda riding and it's on the 'doorstep' as it were.
I liked your 'face-cam' though , you can turn your head and show what's off to the side of the road , so you get more of a feel for the area , not just the road ahead.
Here's a couple of pics of what I see when I ride

Very cool vid, Hawk!! Love that track, too... 
It's funny that you're using dailymotion. I just signed up for that one yesterday.
I also zip tied a digital camera to my helmet last night and took a test spin on my KLR650. Pitch black and in the rain, no less...lol...
