That would be nice, but I don't think they had the best camera's.

True.

But even the original film would be a fair sight better than the uber-compressed web version.

Maybe we could contact the source.?
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

Oh, I suppose... if you really want to recommend something so proactive. [roll]

I know they put out a handful of DVDs, and at least one of them had footage that seemed like it came from the same trip that video was shot on, but I haven't found anything that is that particular video released. I guess shooting somebody an email wouldn't hurt. Might get an answer...

So now I'm watching the video. I think what I like most is the intake sound that comes through so well on the bikes.

Tangent: Where the hell is the on-board footage in WSBK? They used to do it now and again, and I really dig it. Last couple years, none to be seen... :P

He-man, Yahuen and me with Desmolu on the back did some pretty insane lanesplitting though Virginia once. It was pretty make the beast with two backsing nerve wrecking


I dont lane split that crazily at all. Im VERY mild so if you think thats hairy, you should see what yauhen does when hes riding by himself, i cant keep up at all. 90% of it stems from the fact that my mirrors are mounted to my clip ons which happen to be right at the mirror level of sedans though... maybe i should get taller mirrors.


and +1 thats not lane splitting! its not dense enough!

there was a little bit of lane splitting in there, but it was mostly just riding on the wrong side of the road.
