Hey Lou,

When I get mine up and running, we can do that run again with 2 R65's!

We could get the wife following and record from behind!

Nice Job and she sounds lovely!

I guess this falls under "too much time on my hands", but I can't help myself...

That curvy road that goes off to the south, (through the trees) right at the sharp left-hand bend - is that a public road?
Paved?

Looks like a good run for the camera!

Good video!   I think that I like watching the "headlight view" video more than those made with a helmet camera.

Lou, your R65 actually sounds like a motorcycle and not a sewing machine.  Well done video.  My only comment though is that you were lucky to survive driving on the wrong side of the road and it's a good thing those cages saw you coming so they could move over.

That's a Forestry Commission unpaved goat track 4x4 or Trials bike territory as i get to  the hairpin there's a black and white chevron sign that's the access next to that.

Glad you liked it ...im hopeing to do another one soon nearer to home at Hardcastle Crags good practice for Texas as theres no wrong side or white lines on that one just certain death if you go over the edge.

Very nice! I think that you are starting a new trend here.

BTW The area you live in is old Danish country, the Danelagen. (Sorry, the schoolmaster gets the better of me every time.)

I believe Ed is referring to your omission of a Period after "settlement", and before "nice riding area"...

[Ed Miller]

Oops!  No, I don't play the catch the typos game, unless the person says something really funny inadvertently.  I was just sort of joking about the idea of settling an area with really good riding roads a few centuries before motorcycles would be invented.  Sorry it didn't work.
