Motorcycle videos

Postby GTR1400MAN » Wed Oct 14, 2020 12:40 pm

My latest YouTube video. I've started a new topic as the old one was getting huge and had wandered off all over the place with some interesting discussion.

This time some wet weather overtakes.

I saw you had a small following in some of those clips; I hope they appreciated your example and did safe overtakes ;-)
there is only the road, nothing but the road ...

I'd hope so too. They are all Observers or ex-plod riders ;) :)

At the end I think your speedometer was slightly in error, but expect a visit from the IAM Media Police. :biker:

:lol:

I'm amazed in all the fuss about a flashing bulb on the ROSPA Facebook page no-one as commented on this. :)

This was videoed while out on a social ride not an IAM demo. ;)

Strangely it is not linear. Probably due to damping of the display to try and prevent flickering numbers.

I hadn't seen that one before. They missed the non-hibernator spending hours washing and cleaning the dreaded rock salt (and molasses) of his machine. :o
