Big thanks to NVGixxer for putting together today's ride. Great Roads + Great People = Great Time!

Toml · July 13, 2014, 05:01:31 PM

And big thanks to David and Tanya for the MotoGP show!

Really nice meeting and riding with some new people today. Also very nice riding with Jim and Tom again! Thank you guys for showing Tanya and I more great roads. It got a little toasty towards the end but our early start helped a lot as the morning temps were perfect. All and all, a great day with great company (11 riders!).

I have some photos and video to go through but for now, here's a cool photo of Jimbo exiting a tunnel.

Great pic Dave, thanks! It just goes to show ya, sometimes there is light at the end of the tunnel, eh?

Wow! What a turn out! Hope to meet some of you guys soon, glad you all stayed safe and had fun in this heat

Nice video Jim! I think I heard your sonic booms when you disappeared over the rise.

Finally Put together a short video with a few photos and video clips. Not all that exciting to watch but it was a great ride! I guess we can't embed videos (or I can't figure it out) so here's the link:

Most excellent video BC!

Embedding videos doesn't work on our forum, however, you can make it look like it's embedded by posting a picture (usually from the video itself or from YouTube), then linking the YT video to the entire picture code. <more>

Here's the HTML code to make the picture above link to your video, only with unnecessary spaces before the URL & IMG tags, so you can see it in its raw form.

NICE video David! Who was that little black dot in your rear camera, you know, the dot that kept getting smaller and smaller and eventually disappeared from view? GULP, I think that was me............yikes! I'd love to see a video of you and GM going at it someday with front and rear mounted GoPros on. Now that would be real entertainment!

Hey guys, check out other videos of Dave on the track! You can click on them at the end of this video! WOW!!

Jimbo

Jimbo

Oh now, you were just cruising along trying to make me look good. It didn't work, that clip is a little embarrassing because I totally didn't know where the turns were going which is why my lines were so bad. Thank you again for setting up the ride Jim, Tanya and I had a great time!

Great video Dave. Also watched one of your track videos, dam that bike is fast!!! Nice riding and looks like a lot of fun.

I'll dispel any thoughts of my 'going at it' with another rider. I discourage that type of behavior on the street. If you want to see what it looks like for me to ride with a superior rider, like Mel or BC-2, it looks a lot like what you're seeing with the disappearing NVgixxer. My fun level ends when we start riding fast. But I know what you meant Jimbo.

By the looks of it, even with BC-2's inexperience on Monitor, he's riding much faster than I or TB5 have. And yes, I watched some of his Fontana videos last night. Very impressive stuff.

The boy knows how to ride fast and safe. He almost makes it look easy, which is the hard part.
