Default Re: F.A.O DanAbnormal..

No vid of me as Ape said.. It wouldn't have been worth posting anyway, I was trying to video Dan from onboard my bike but couldn't keep up round the bend!! Only had about 5 or 6 attempts as it takes a while to complete the circuit and to it again, traffic and traffic lights don't help

Are you being serious?!

The plastic sliders have titanium bolts inside. Titanium + asphalt + speed = sparklies!

Of course I am serious, you know me, I am always serious

But yeah, I have never had sliders so never looked at one, and didn't know they had bolts in them!

From Twin bridges roundabout head towards South Hill Park. There is a left turn on the dual carriadgeway which leads towards the industrial estate (and the 329). It's that bend.

I've been attempting to get my knee down. I've had my boot and both pegs down but not the knee yet, just need to lean off the bike a bit more I guess.

Nick, click on the pic to view a helpful video.

Interesting video. Dont want to get my knee down (especially as I have no sliders) but the tips regarding cornering were really useful.
