Compare & contrast

First Ducati's first public airing of their "new for" 2012 1,000 MotoGP bike.

Then:-



Honda's version.

I just wish that they let us hear the sound of their new machines, rather than resort to a musac soundtrack.

All the best, Jim.

Remember to breathe

Some excellent footage of a lap @ this year's NW200 - the attempted overtake @ 2:54 is smoothness personified, and the slightest of errors @ 3:33 & 3:38 result in loads of ground being lost.

All the best, Jim.

All the best, Jim.

SSDT - link to daily video updates

SSDT 2011 Monday from John (Bigfoot) Hird on Vimeo.

These sections are merciless, even in the current dry conditions, and riders do this for six days in succession!

They're either heroes, or mad - or both!

All the best, Jim.

Not my sort of bike, nor my sort of country - but I've been there!

Blazer from Daniel Crouch on Vimeo.

I once pushed a Kawasaki ZX10 one & a half miles to a petrol station, only to discover when I got there that I'd flicked the kill switch!

I was not at all impressed or amused @ the time.

All the best, Jim.

Makes my toes curl

Somehow, it always feel more dangerous when someone else is piloting the plot!

All the best, Jim.
