Vtr flying over the TT mountain section

Hey guys
YouTube - Morning run
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did at 170 from the cregneba to the 40mph limited zone.

And as promised a slice of VTR around the local race circuit.

The old Vtr picked up a nick name from the victims I carved up.

Cool, next time do a bar mount view for us. You are so lucky to be living there.

Fantastic video! Very quick riding, not too crazy and it was apparent that you knew which way the road went.
The roads here in Ontario are marred with frost heaves and pot holes. Most are straight and flat. Riders have been killed by colliding with deer and Canada geese. The police impound your bike for a week if you're caught going more than 50 kph over the speed limit. Sometimes the only relief is a Tim Hortons (sic) coffee shop.
I'd send you a video of a ride on our local roads but it would be too depressing. Count your blessings.

Go Pro all the way.
I tried to run 2 of them.
As my buddy had one i could borrow.
We mounted it on the rear of the bike but the vibration ruined teh footage.
That and my buds gsxr looking like he had selected reverse gear.
Im looking at installing a digital display so there might be room for a camera thu teh screen kind of deal.
Just as long as I can get my lid in behind the screen
Wind blast at speeds over 150mph are mental.

Another thumbs up on not putting any music in it!

The roads they're so... smooth.

Just realised I haven't had a pint at the Creg since 1997! Great ride, do you have any footage of the Glen Helen section, that bend just after the hotel that tightens up always made me squeak.

Thanks for the vids. I've been thinking about getting a camera for my bike, and after almost getting run over yesterday on the commute home, I'm thinking about it even more.

3 weeks until the Mountain section goes one way only with no speed restrictions.
I know my motors not feeling 100%
But screw it Im so gona carve me up a few slices of modern sport bikes.
New metz race tek's are fitted.
Soft front.
Medium rear.
Of course I will film it all.
Also I have got a couple more cam's sorted so we can do both front and rear views with chasing camera on a Gsxr750
and a guy with a 450 bhp scooby ready to do spoiler cameras so we can try some tasty high lean shots.
All up I think its going to be a Good TT.
Bumped in to neil Nodgston today in town.
Pity he aint racing anymore.
