Hi guys,

Anyone seen this 10 minute mountain course video shot from a
BMW 1200GS.

The fence is a blur at 120mph.

Uses Windows Media Player :razz:

Wow. Where was that filmed, and where did all the bikes come from? Left side of the road, so it was somewhere in the current or former Empire.

Hi Paul,

The road signs, houses & countryside are not Australian & I presumed the clip was filmed in England somewhere.

When I cut the URL down looking for more video all I found was this http://fungusgs-spot.info

It looks to me like the Isle of Man. It's obviously someone who knows the course.

And I thought the IOM TT was world famous ?

That's the mountain section of the Isle of Man TT course, starting out from Ramsey to almost the start finish line in Douglas. I've watched the race many times from the Creg-Ny-Baa - thats the big cream pub he passes just before the end of the clip.

Great ride on the red line... but still looks a bit tame after the Steve Hislop video!!

That is the best home made video I have seen in my life. That was awesome!

I have GOT to figure out how to get some of our videos posted on line....

Riding sportbikes in the mountain west for the better part of the last 22 years we have shot tons of video.

That clip was awesome.

That was an awesome clip.

I have always wondered who has the best ride into work???

If someone knows where to post them, we should see who has the best ride from home to work. Last summer I saw 25 white tailed deer, 2 snapping turtles, 3 porcupines, 1 fox and 8 wild turkey on the road. No direct hits. 1 really close call.

Ugh, I will lose this one then, I ride the I-95 corridor to work in Baltimore for about 35 miles. Here is what I see on a daily basis going to work...

38 Soccer Mom's
82 Pretend Executives on cell phones
2 Guys reading the news paper
15 Women doing their make-up
529 Metro-sexuals

No hits as well but many many many near misses
