Brilliant, you sure have some great roads up there, not to sure about all those stone walls though :o

They tend to keep you focused ;) Racing is ****-easy in comparison! :lol:

Excellent. I know the Middleton/Alston road well, and it almost felt like being there. (..in fact it'll save me getting the bike out today!)

wise move Steve, it'll be covered in snow, top of Hartside is and Kirkstone was blocked Friday night !!

which Brampton road is that Nige?

wot set up you got? camcorder and bullet cam?

Alston to Brampton - the latter half of the A689 from Halton Lea Gate. Love it.

Sony bullet cam from RF Concepts - mounted in the right hand side air conveyor with self-adhesive foam around the body to isolate it from the vibes.
Canon 830i/850i mini-dv cam (can't quite remember which one) mounted on the tank. You need a camcorder with an analogue input to use a bullet cam.

ah, i always go the other way round don't think i've ever ridden it that way :(

It's much much harder going out the way I did it...I found myself feathering the throttle a bit too often. Going towards Alston I'm quicker.

that way still catches me out, theres a few sets of bends that i always forget about :(

Croft on my 800ss minitwin racer. I've posted this before, but I've moved server etc.

It's in DivX format so, you will need to install the DivX codec.

fantastic video btw, make me wanna get out on the duc and enjoy the countryside!

(my bikes currently for sale, but I think ill not sell now unless I get another 500 quid on top of the asking price)

:P

Croft video is great Nige, still looks good full screen but peeps need to be aware its a 170-odd Mb download....

Worth it though ;)

Cheers - Frank

Superb. Enjoyed those

You haven't posted the best one, Nige... :D

nah he did the one im in ;)

though i dont quite have the 'horse whip' type action of some :D

Nobody in here wants to see you thrashing the pips off your Deauville and listen to me short-shifting at 3-4k rpm ;)

Aww! What happened to the Alston/Hartside video links? I was enjoying watching these once in a while. (..I'll get S.A.D. over the winter months if I can't get up there on the bike now!)
