North West 200 - 2015 Trip review

Here you go, 4 day trip summed in just over 4 minutes.

Nothing can prepare you for the speed of the bikes flat out passing 5' from you. The whole assault on the senses; the sounds, smell, feel of the bikes is incredible



for Apple users

 

Definitely on the bucket list. Perhaps next year

 

Great vid. Looks an awesome experience!

What happened to the Gixer then? (*sniggers*)

 

Gixer ran out of electricity , generator had failed. Or the battery totally gave up the ghost and would not accept a charge but the recovery dude put a volt meter on it and there was nothing there when bike running to top it up.

Amazingly it had done the 4 days and well over 500 miles before it played up

A BMW S1000r also broke down, starter switch failed at 3 months old - mines done 80k through more bad weather than you can shake a stick at and still works fine

 

I've heard quite a few stories about S1000RR switchgear failures. Not surprised when I saw all the buttons they have. It must be like riding with a laptop on each hand...

 

Probe the rectifier on the Gixer, common problem across the range
