Wot, you thought Boxers were slow?
 
A guy on a GS1150 Adventure (yeah the big slow heavy one) doing the Isle of Man and seriously embarassing a lot of sportsbikes :lol: :

Takes him less time to lap the island than it does for me to download that on my broadband connection!

Beautiful riding.

Great lines, using all of the road, nice and smooth, no "oh ****" moments.

The geezer in front of him at the start was all over the place. Rubbish lines and 50p'ing the corners.

Wow.... :shock:

That guy really know's how to ride a bike. amazing lines through the corners.... no wobbly **** either... I might save that and watch it a few times later, like a mini tutorial :D

Is *that* how I'm supposed to do it?

I haven't downloaded it as I'm at work, but tell me, does he stick his knee out or not in bends? My controversial theory is, that on the road, a rider with a knee out is usually a slower rider. [fx: ducks and runs]

You can't see. The camera is tank mounted looking through the screen.

As Scoobs says, you can't see, but I very much doubt it. More like bolt upright I would imagine, just to add insult to injury as he p*sses all over the desperately worried super-sports riders. :lol:

Don't post often - erm hardly ever!

Nice piece of footage 8)

If you look carefully you will see the riders head reflected in the clocks. Stays bolt upright the whole time, and looks through bends. Hardly moving around at all. Rarely crosses the white lines throughout.

Who he :?:
