Holy Cow! That's amazing! Incredible how he so smoothly carves through those narrow roads.
PS - if you can hook up your laptop to your big screen TV this is one time to do it, it is incredible on a 46" screen! _________________

I wouldn't call that dude a cameraman - more like a rider with a camera on his bike. _________________ 93 LT (x2)

That is apparently Michael Dunlop, IoM TT racer of note, amongst other places. Nephew of Joey Dunlop. And of course that is video of a race on a street circuit, in Northern Ireland  _________________ David, owner of:

G'day Guys and Girls
That reminds me of the Joey Dunlop video.
We where all at a mates place sitting around his bar, having had a beer or 3 too many. Leigh sticks the tape in and we all enjoyed the video, except Don. Seemed he lent too far into a corner, fell off the bar stool and landed on his butt.
So every time after that we made him sit in a chair.
Good video that and this one is the same (good) _________________ Ride safe

Didn't realise Avon made bar stools as well as tyres  _________________ David, owner of:

Thanks for the link. Great to see something like this when it is -5C outside.
"HDTheatre" showed several one hour segments of IOM TT this past year and it had some similar footage. Many times Cathy would see me sitting on the couch- leaning with the riders into the corners.
Easy to see why Paul Edlington goes back there year after year. _________________ John & Cathy

MUCH better. I am able to get some good lean angles without losing traction.
Maybe Frank needs to consider ATTGATT when he is viewing races. Although a helmet might get in the way of liquid refreshment. _________________ John & Cathy

Frank was fine - it was one of his mates that went rubber side up
From the looks of Frank's avatar, his helmet isn't going to get in the way of anti dehydration measures, also known as fourex, or barbed wire beer (XXXX) in his part of the world. _________________ David, owner of:

Ok that is way way cool.
Now, WTH do I feel so old & slow?
Oh yeah, cause I am.
Truly inspiring and humbling at the same time, least for me it was. such as it is, those days will never dawn for me again.
At least I can still ride my ride and I can always admire & observe truly fearless talent such as that. _________________ 1993 K1100RS that I'd rather be riding FAST!

I can not drink "barded wire" Do you know Queenslanders put XXXX on the cans/bottles, thats because they can't spell BEER.
give me a good Tooheys Extra Dry any day or may some of Tooheys 5 Seed Cider.
Glad the rain has finally stopped. _________________ Ride safe
