    Reckon you should get a modern 1000 - would pay for itself in fuel savings ;)

    Great pics Barney. Nice one mate

    Just managed to put this together - its just some basic footage of James's bike on its side in the kitty litter, more footage / editing to follow -
    Front camera GoPro, rear GoClone (the vibration is due to poor mounting and not the cameras fault)

    now i know i could be being a little overly critical,but it's always a good idea to check behind you before you roll off cthe throttle completley like that,especially going up somewhere that is usually on full throttle,you just never know how close someone is directly behind you

    fair point Scooby - think I rolled off after the red flag - guess everyone a little rusty at times and a good point to remember for future TD's esp at that point after last Octobers accident

    Another short film here - can understand and appreciate he was a much, much faster rider, on full wets and me on road tyres on a road bike, but I'm running a huge sail of a number plate and hearing him on the nearside he def. 'pushed' me over as he shot up the inside - you can see he has to almost abort till I shift to the right.

    I spoke to him after it to say 'mate, I'm on a road bike with a huge number plate so its easy to spot, just give the guys on road bikes a little more space please' - he never said sorry and did not appear to give a sh!t to be honest.

    Later on in the day he overtook numerous bikes under red flags, then did the same the following session.

    This was early morning still, and I was in the 'lower' ability level of the 2 groups but it was a bit of a lottery to be honest which group you ended up in by all accounts

    Looks to me like he was one of those riders that belongs in the fast group but stays in intermediates so that he "looks good"!
