We know you can ride, but can you drive like this....
« on: June 08, 2014, 09:58:28 PM »
The real (onboard) action starts about 1.27 into this vid... Have a look at the rate the scenery flies by in this vid - man can he drive!!!!     


Inch perfect!  A great re-gather at 2.47 - but keep an eye on the left front for how inch perfect he is at over 200 km/h!


Enjoy!

Talk about having confidence in your ride, sorry not for me I want my arse further off the ground than that.

Thought I would put these up or though you have probably seen them.   First one is US Police ST in competition and the second a Harley.   Video not the best on Harley but you can hear it scraping.   Talk about control, I couldn't do that walking without hitting a cone.

Made easier since a race car like that has a enough down force from the spoilers etc. and the rather sticky racing tyres make it seem like the car is glued to ground.

Looks like a magnificent road to ride. At a more leisurely pace of course. Would be a shame to miss the scenery.

I'm with Alan.  The car certainly flatters the driver.  Not to understate the skill in placing it optimally.  It would be a fun ride in the same conditions- i.e. no on-coming traffic.
I love those great high aquaducts (or whatever they're carrying.  Even the railway ones in Queensland at Eumundi and Cougal are impressive, but lack those lovely arches.
