    That is a worry.

    Whens the next vid? Hey put the camera on Gerble and we could do a slow vid just to balance things a bit. Might be a bit shacky though.................

    That is a disgusting thing to say.

    Cancer has got nothing to do with riding a bike, it kills people in long, slow, painful, increments. At least on a bike you have a better than average chance of dying quickly.

    Pull it in mate, that one bites close to the bone for me and no doubt many others on this site.

    I would put it on the honda but a little afriad it might fall off - like everything else. Its not as rubust as a thermos (for instance)

    Good point. We could put on my helmet. No I fall off too don't I? Oh well, must be something we can do to help Katmans cause?

    But the video will be nice and clear and you will actualy be able to take in the scenery

    What gets me is most of the vids are farkin boring and i cant see the point of bothering,my grandmother could ride whatever bike you chose to mention down roads with only the odd semblance of a corner at whatever speed you choose to name,boring shite.Why not make a vid on a decent bit of road,the rear view of a Busa or anything else on a might as well be straight road is

    shite,i don't really know where to start.
    katman it's good to have someone on here that points out the odd silly thing,i appreciate where you are comming from.
    i watched your example(marty's vid).
    lol when you say you know what sorta speed the bus is doin at those sorta rev's,you been there eh?
    it's hard to tell the speed from the vid,but it seemed like a nicely controled ride.did it even get near redline?
    sure it may have been a little fast,but the road had very little trafic on it,the ideal time to have a little blowout if thats what you need.
    if others watch vid's and think they can do as well or better,then darwin will sort it.they certainly don't make me ride any faster than comfortable

    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

    Well, by my rough calculations I'd say there were a number of times the speed was in excess of 160kph.
