imatfaal Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Here is a beeb video of a bike on a practice lap of the Northwest 200. Now I am a bit of a fan of this madcap form of racing anyway - but that's not the reason for the post. The video is 360 degrees - you can turn your view direction around with the mouse as you watch https://www.facebook.com/BBCBIKES/videos/vb.114010462015043/942879885794759/?type=2&theater I love it. I did actually say "FFS brake already" as I gripped my chair preparing for the brakes to send me forward in my pillion seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimreepr Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Whilst I appreciate the reason for the post, I have to say, I, simultaneously, would love to ride this course and hate to be a pillion; when I rode the TT course all I remember is a strip of black stuff.

I bottle fast corners and brake too early on my pedal bike - on a 500cc motorbike I would just be too scared to go at any speed. I would love to go round as pillion - although I get told off for leaning the wrong way on the way to the shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also the recognition that I have the reaction time of a three toed sloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moontanman Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Racing motorcycles is loads of fun, I raced several different ways when i young. Motocross and hill climbing being favorites. There often is tendency to leave pucker marks on the seat when racing motorcycles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimreepr Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If you don't leave some sort of mark, you're not doing it right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
