I've posted this here for my old pals Nige, Vonbonds, etc who like this sort of thing. Get your goggles and headphones on and turn it right up!

ps. Nige, I'll be over for practice week 19th - 25th, marshaling somewhere between Ramsey and the Bungalow. Will be wearing wellies for the expected disinfectant bath!

It's cool how the speed warps the time space continuum and makes the picture look all wavy.

Chisel,

At least it didn't mess with the audibles of that 120' growl. But yeah, all part of the fun. reminds me of the flashbacks I got after blowing my tubes out with acid in '72.

Reminds me of 1972 for happier reasons. I saw the movie Continental Circus in Douglas when I was over for the Manx gp. I remember one section when Ago' cleared the MV's throat to get it on the cam, in just the same way as the guy in the first video does at the first hairpin.

Cool old bikes. Thanks for the videos

Guys,

I got in touch with the builder of the bike in the videos, Jean-Luc, and got his blog address. My French isn't so good (nor my English neither) but the bike is a hand built MV-like replica:

well done sir!

Loverly.
I have to say though. I wasn't too impressed with the rider. We don't see him make one apex and he didn't get the revs up into the REALLY NICE zone often enough.
