NSR and VFR in the hills

[jonnay]

Just put together a little video of a short but sweet ride I went on today

I headed off into the hills to get some pics of the NSR infront of the rural backdrop, and as I was taking pictures my mate Pete, from my other vid, turned up on his VFR400. We decided to head off and get some fly-by videos.

Once we were there, another guy we knew turned up on his FZ750 for a chat.

This vid is more for us to freezeframe and watch our riding positions etc, but you lot might enjoy it, too. There's also some random stuff at the end which probably won't make much, if any, sense to you lot - kind of a personal joke!

Music is on there, it's "Kids with Guns", which seemed appropriate as we're both, essentially, kids..

Anyway, enjoy, 18mb and around 3 minutes long.

Still restricted in the exhaust although the carb has been done. Gotta leave it until I've sorted my insurance claim out, really, because if they do a thorough check of the bike and discover its derezzed, I could get into trouble for it, I suppose...

Yeh, my rear brakes are squeeking badly, any idea what it is, anyone? Loads of pad left

Could have made it a bit more interesting like monoing it over the crest of that time hill.

[jonnay]

You're more than welcome to come down and try that yourself..

for the idea about the squeaky brakes, will definitley give that a try at the weekend, they're driving me nuts now...

new fairing next week, won't have to gaffa tape it together any more

Being done in the next few weeks, fingers crossed

Can get an extra few mph out of it than what I had in the video, if I really rag it, but I don't fancy siezing it up!

Argh, meant "brakE", lol

The pin that holds my front brake lever bent in my accident, so the front brake was either off or fully on Scary when trying to stop from speed on cold roads.

Fixed now though, had all the insurance work carried out yesterday, and now it's in showroom condition, no black tape anywhere to be seen

So nice to have a useable front brake again

Somebody get that VFR a race can!
Whats the point of an expensive burbling V4 if listening to it is optional?

[jonnay]

He has a blue flame for it, but after he got knocked off a few weeks back, he put the original back on for the police inspection

video of blue flame (click here)

I'f i'm totally honest, it was boring. Two bikes doing about 60/70 down a straight road repeatedly...

Is that vfr restricted, looked a bit, slow?

[jonnay]

Yeh, VFR and NSR are both restricted. As I said, just a video to show around really, but didn't hurt to put it on here either The VFR was probably doing a little more than 60/70... lol. Long lens on the camera does wierd things with moving objects, makes them appear in a sort of slow motion, and I can't adjust the zoom on the digi once it's filming

Cheers anyway though
