Default A really fun run!!

a fun run down the pass again, there were an awful lot of cars this time because it was Sunday and very sunny ... you will notice I changed my mind on the first overtake, I am not skeerd of backing off when I feel it's too dodgy ..lol

At 1:40 some scooter boys shouted out at me as I passed, not sure if it's because I was a girl, a biker, or I hope they didn't spot the camera ..lol

Anyway the trouble with these new fangled RR thingies is they make everyone else appear in slow motion, mere obstacles that you have to constantly pass...........

it's all just too easy to wind this thing up, all the overtakes are so effortless and instant ... I run the revs anywhere between 5,000 to 8,000 rpm mostly
and it has all the thrust I need between these revs on these types of roads, it's a bit of a torque monster and I love it!! :-)

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

thank you, they are fun to do and try to get right ... it looks like I misjudged it but the way I actually ride is to get ready to go for it so the bike is already moving and on cam and if it's clear and enough time it's effortless to just squirt through but on this occasion I decided it's too close for comfort ...

um, oh dear ..lol ..it's a special anti vibration mount :-)

yes, it is, the bike is as it left the factory and I love the standard exhaust sound, it's so rich and deep with a beautiful tone that is so much nicer than the vids show ..I don't know why people want to change them plus it's stainless right through so will last for all of eternity :-)

Your videos are always nice Jules... You just need to get rid of that huge thing hanging off the back of the bike. I really cant get over how nice that paint scheme is.

PS... can I borrow your camera mount one weekend?????

Hey Bill, yes, you have nailed me there ... those maps are amazing detail now aren't they, I haven't played with those in an age and the resolution just keeps getting better and better ... I must check out my favourite place Tenby on them next :-)
