A few video shots taken of me (black SV650s, grey/white/black leathers) at Mallory at a Track Day in May. Unfortunately my Dad is about as good as me behind the lens of a camera but hope you like it. Also you tube has squished up the wide screen so apologies for the further degradation!

The bike at this stage was standard apart from a double bubble, crash bungs and Pirelli Diablo Stradas (touring tyres..?) which I think shows the SV is not bad out of the box, even with boingy suspension. And remember the box was opened 6 years ago.

Are you still running your bike on the belgian plate then?
Looks like it was nice and dry at least:)

I was in Aarschot over the weekend and I must admit, I've forgotten what nutters the belgians are on the roads;)

I was on a belgian plate then, but now on a UK plate. It was a dry day, kept looking like rain, and piddled it down 15 mins after leaving the circuit :)

Yep some of the Belgian driving is a buit erratic, and I think the normal gap you leave the vehicle in front on any dual carriageway is about 5m!

Heading back through in a couple of weeks on a Nurburgring trip so looking forward to the curious road surfaces.

Have a good day, I might pop up in the afternoon, as I'm marshalling a triathlon in the morning, think WRC might be at Croft too?

Will bring the video if I do pop up but might be in the cage.
