That video really sucked. I hate you ray..... ;) Damn....sunshine and clear streets.....no white stuff piled up everywhere. Life is good for some. Your bike really sounded good. It's this kind of stuff that will probably make me move back down south. Some day...ride pretty much year round. God I hate snow and cold.

Actually sounds like the cam is about to rattle itself out of the rocker cover !!...In real-life the tappets are dead quiet and I think the cheap-ass cam on the tank amps the sound of the tappets x 10 ! I hope no-one wants their 5 mins. back.!.......

That's just what Jaffa does to me, takes off when I'm not ready and shoots past me when she feels like it! ;D
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Hey Ray - what did you use as a camera mount? Got a pic?
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.
