  • Riding on a very wet slab of concrete in the countryside.
    Apologies for the language but i'm a total pussy.
    Great day for all (apart from the guy who trashed an s1000rr...)

    I would have been one of those riders pootling around at 45mph in those conditions. Great display of skill and lack of nerves there Mr baron.

    Old vid I know but blimey Baron you've got some huge kahuna's. I've been close that speed on a dry drag strip but on a wet air field, no fricken way! Fair play, your nuts!!!

    Hit 150ish on my Blackbird on the toll roads in France in couple years back, but backed it straight off again, shit myself, my kids faces popped into my head too so just cruise about these days, we all need to get speed out of our systems if we can, some cant get enough of it though, keep it for the track if poss guys, its the safe option for a speed fix.

    @Mikesmotorbike Před 12 lety

    That was brilliant, another thing I'll have to do once I'm up in the UK. though I doubt my base would let me do that daily :P It allways amazes me how your bike jumps forewards must be a real joy to ride, especially when you have somewhere like that to play on twice a year :P

    @barks1212 Před 12 lety

    How come you chose the gixxer mate? And aren't you scared of smashing up your bikes since you use them daily it seems? Iv tracked my little ZXR a couple of times but always had "what if" in the back of my mind since i use it for the road as well.

  • @Blahde
    @Blahde Před 12 lety

    Well Grumble, that was.....just awesome :-)

  • @barks1212
    @barks1212 Před 12 lety

    depends on the track, tracks owned by Palmer tend to be a lot more strict. Just look up the track rules on their website. Some allow 14 yr olds with no license. Some allow restricted licenses, some need a full unrestricted license. Nightmare since my local track is Oulton and they want unrestricted riders only. So for the past 2 years iv been stuck.....now though :)
