There's a vid of the red one on Youtube. All the Spondon stuff is contained on their wonderfully 90's website: http://www.spondonengineering.co.uk/

Deeters posted:Got a bar mount for my GoPro camera and recorded my ride home from work. Picture isn't that great since it was starting to get dark, but it's not too bad for a $170 camera. I'm kind of proud that I can hear my pegs scraping in a few parts. How do you have it mounted that the audio is not just wind noise like I hear on most motorcycles?

He drat near lost his mind when bought boots for my dirt bike, claming its a waste of money and all I need are some cheap work boots that dont even cover your ankles (He still doesnt know I spent a whole $90 on used Alpine Stars). He was about 10 years old when on any sunday came out. YMMV v  v

I swear there was a video that was almost identical to this one (the road even appears the same), where one Harley just sort of goes off the road on the left hand side and into a ditch, and the other Harley behind it target fixates and goes in with it. No dumb comments about "oh they're gonna kick our asses" though.

At least make sure he's ok to ride. When I crashed my bike, people were tripping over themselves to help me out and make sure I was ok. It's loving disgusting that those cretins in the motorhome didn't stop.

I know the exact road and corner that happened on, and its almost a vertical drop going off of that. There was a guy that died yesterday on the same road when he went off the side and couldn't be found for 4 hours. They had to go corner by corner looking off of the side of the road.

SanitysEdge posted:On Any Sunday is on Hulu Still one of my favourite documentary's ever. My brother and I just about wore out the VHS copy we had of it from watching it over and over again. I grabbed it cheap a few months back actually to watch it again for the first time in almost a decade, and it's still just as great.

My bad. All I asked the rider was what year it was, he said a '69. My google-fu is weak. I gotta start carrying my nice camera around more often for times like that.

edited and cropped a few more pics from the races sunday, this is the last corner leading onto the home straight, Intense battle for 1st and second between Keith Amor (24) and Ryan Farquhar(77) Farquhar closed up on him in the corners but the last straight is a steep uphill section and horsepower wins out every time. dont know if linking from picasaweb albums works here but you can view the gallery here http://picasaweb.google.com/echomadman/AtheaLastRace last lap.    edit found a video of this race from across the road. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eId2oknhdU same time as this pic was taken  changed to my own hosting echomadman fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Jul 2, 2009 |

Linedance posted:
Glad people stopped for you. I've come off my bike 3 times, and I lost count how people drove past whilst I was sprawled on the ground. I did have one car driver honk at me, I assume for blocking the road with my sprawled bike and body. I was so terribly sorry for inconvieniencing him. One nice Fiesta stopped once, but I'd just managed to get the bike upright and was checking I still had my fingers and toes, so I think I just stared at him blankly for 10 seconds, and then said "um, yeah, thanks" in respose to his query.

A lot of time I have house music in my head while I ride, I guess I'm not a real bike   I call this itsahonda.jpg I have the wrong year (for the motor) wiring harness draped over the frame of my CT/RV90 hybrid. Its running a Radio Shack rectifier, using a condenser from a CB750, a coil from the wrong year CT90, and an ignition switch from a CT70. I hooked up my charger, set it to 6 volts, turned the ignition switch on, jumped the wires for the killswitch, turned the motor over, and it sparked! Typical Honda, even when it shouldnt, it works.
