Sometime last year, I came across a thread that had a link to a vid showing a single lap race between a car , a street bike and a race bike.

I know it's out there but I'm dammed if I can find it.

come you search experts - help me out.

Just while I search, this would narrow it down a bit.

If its the one you are thinking of, Track is Laguna Seca, Vehicles are Freddie Spencer on 1984 racing 500 bike, 300zx turbo and street bike is a 700 honda sabre.

Vid Title may be freddievszvssabre.wmv.

This the one you are thinking of?

That link didn't work, bugger. (**edit, found the You Tube version embedded further down the post**)

This is the problem with these kind of posts generally speaking (OAB's post is an exception to the rule though).

Normally, you'll see a post like:

Check this out, it's awesome
or

Have a look at this, man...if I could do that kinda shit I'd be a legend!

The problem is that it does nothing to describe the content of the link which makes it impossible to search for down the track, then some poor soul that doesn't spend all of their waking time on KB find's something on the net, thinks it's worth sharing with KBers, does a search to make sure it hasn't been posted before and then posts...within minutes, the repost nazi's are ranting on about reposts and searching:doh: .

Does a repost post count as a repost itself?

but I don't spend all my waking time on KB :shutup: I actually cheated. I was sure I had the vid on one of my hard drives, found it, so knew content, and searched the title. Otherwise, the only thing I could remember was the track.

Good point tho... once or twice I have added keywords to a thread, to make it easier, but why not ask the addicted geeks instead? :dodge:
