This road is great fun to ride and I intend to go back to get a better video
eventually.

I did a bad thing on this one, can you spot where??

I'm not sure, but I saw where you drove off with your visor up and then slammed it down and I also saw where you may have swung a little wide on a curve and went into the on coming traffic's lane. Was either one of them the bad thing?

It looks like you may have drifted across the center line at about 1:10, but other than that, I couldn't see anything wrong with your riding. Looks like another great road you have taken us on and another great vid. Keep up the great work Jules! :-)

The deliberate mistake was at 1.06 ... the left hander with the railings ahead, seriously though, my back wheel hit a bump as you should be able to tell from the wobble of the bike at this point, I let this phase me somewhat and ran much wider than I wanted to, I could have counter steered it tighter but because of the "fright" I simply ran too wide and no I am not too happy about it, a good job there was nothing coming or I may have clipped them with either minimal or disastrous consequences ... if my dad was still around he would have crucified me for that error and quite rightly too.

I know it doesn't look much on the video but the wobble from the bump that the rear wheel hit was much more violent than the video shows, it's like the speed and acceleration don't come across on these videos.

I really did lose my composure here and despite my heart racing I carried on and kept up the pace. Dad would often say if you stop and think about it too much you can overthink it and put yourself right off, so I just carried on and I soon settled again.
