A brisk run down the pass :-)

A brisk run down the pass :-)
I pass the boys ...but then they chase me ..lol
I take two of them a bit before the hairpin at the pass, but then they suddenly speed up and are right up my chuff ...
I turn up the pace a bit but you can hear their engines even over mine and the wind noise at times ..they are too close, dangerously close ...
I get an overtake in and leave them behind for a bit, then pass another biker at 2:55 and
hit the sweet spot at 7,000 rpm, you can see my bike suddenly warp away even in the video ... also I am going much faster than the video shows
Not shown in the vid but they catch me up later and I let them pass as I feel they are being a bit dangerous for the type of roads we are on,
they shoot past about 120mph, total madness!!

Definitely watch on youtube in HQ if you can :-)

thank you Rod, I used to be a very fast rider when in my younger days, about 20-23, my dad taught me when I was 16 and I took to it like a duck to water, I don't ride anywhere near that fast now ... I could if my life depended on it but I am very aware of my own mortality these days, I ride what I call "brisk but safe" ... I don't hang around but I am well within the safety parameters of the bike's handling and the prevailing road conditions ... and, another thing that slows me down is I keep slowing to "admire the view" ..actually I stop and photograph the view ..it's just an age thing isn't it ..lol

I can't get over the roads over there! Seems like a popular biker road you were on. Looks like you've scrubbed your tires in Jul, how many miles do you have on it now?
Just curious...is it a Her or a Him??
I was gonna ask how many miles do you have on her, and maybe that would have been ok, I don't know, do tell
Nice vid though. Will we see any sky shots in the near future? We are all waiting for the big surprise some day in 1 of your vids. J/K
