50% onboard, 50% hand held.

At 1:05 you can see the corner where Oscar was 'querying' my line and why we had to take it like that.

Awesome Eddie.

Those videos are neat. But you could have edited them a bit more. There are still a few irrelevant bits in there. I have a few suggestions......

Many thanks

You sure did. The mud didn't make it easy with the tyres you had on.

The 42nd Traverse.

Not so happy with this one either, and I had to compress it a bit more than usual as the half gig uploads to youtube are killing my broadband allowance. Alex may not like it much either.

Had time to have a quick look before work this morning....
Got to get myself a camera, it is worth reliving the falls and the water....

**Kokopelli** · 6th October 2009, 07:08

Thanks for that Eddie. I'll be signing autographs at the next ride.

I still don't know what happened, but I think the front end started to slip, and it looks like I've upset the balance by trying to put a foot down. Then I accelerated, but being to close to the bank made the engine guard dig in. It rapidly turned to poop after this.

You can see how I've lost a bit of enthusiasm after that little fall. But thankfully the rest of the ride went without an incident.

My right hand is almost fully functional again and the rainbow colours have disappeared.

Lessons learnt: Stay away from the guy with the camera!!!
