Just got back from the Gap for our sixth annual ride. Just a quick video I slapped together, nothing special, but definitely a lot of fun. If you live within a 12 hour drive of TN, totally worth the trip.

I was pissed, the actually fast runs weren't shot because the camera kept skipping into timer mode instead of video, so the only runs I got were a warm up run and a low speed reverse angle. Add a little Cash and a slap together edit and this is what you get.

Thanks, it's a Fulmer V2 helmet with the matching shield. Absolutely useless after dark because of the super dark tint but great during the day. Obviously not as safe as a full face but it is nice not losing any peripheral vision. I wear it about half the time, my Scorpion full face the rest.

The reverse angle run was actually in fairly heavy traffic, all the quicker parts were from hanging back a few turns and playing catch up. I was seriously bored from being behind a pair of cruisers that were taking their time and not letting anyone pass. I don't pass on that road so I figured I would have some fun. Rode half the downhill sections without touching a bar Cheesy

If you come down next year on the first weekend in August drop a line and I'll show you around. We come down every year, next year will be #7.

That shield reminds of those creepy humans from the 1980 film "The Black Hole" only thing your missing is Maximilian.

And who is that covering Cash?
