It was good fun! With hindsight training and a lighter bike on better tyres would have been great! Maybe next time! 🤔

It was great fun despite coming off! They weren't the most grippy of road tyres either. 😂

Hi Seb, it took a long time to make the intro considering how short it is but it well was worth it because most people like it.😊 Hill starts in 3rd gear are no problem for the XJR, torque monster! 💪 The most tiring thing about riding the bike on track was how expposed it was in the wind. The bars are pretty high and even with my chin practically on the tank I was still getting blasted!

Yeah, I'm counting myself lucky, I got away with that one. There was a guy on a blue GSXR who just missed me while I was sliding across the tarmac! :O

Thanks, I'm glad you think so, I changed software for this video and it's been a steep learning curve with lots more still to learn! I really did get away lightly with the crash, not even a bruise to speak of !😀

What software are you using now?

Davinci resolve, it's free and my laptop will just about run with 1440p @ 30fps footage. 🙂

I’ve been doing everything in iMovie - it gets the job done but it is pretty basic. Upgrading software has been on my to-do list but I didn’t want the monthly subscription for Premier or the big upfront cost of Final Cut Pro. I’ll have to check out Davinci Resolve - the price of free is pretty appealing! Thanks

All I can say is give it a go if you want to try something else. It's a pretty steep learning curve compared to what I was using before but There's loads of tutorials for it on YT. Good luck 🙂

Nice one Lane 👍

Glad you liked the video and thanks for the sub. 😊

It was great, can't wait to do another one!

I would do it again in a heartbeat! You can't ride for sport like this on the public roads, its a very liberating activity. 😁

It was about an hour back cross country avoiding the faster roads. The XJR is a bit of a torque monster so no problem pulling away in 3rd but I did suffer from knee cramp riding with my foot on the rear pili' peg! :) The bike will be back on the road just as soon as the new footrest hanger turns up!

@@krustyboots2586 Hahaaha... wowo an hour... damn that must have been horrid lol (soz shouldn't laugh) :D A modern bike would have probs been un-rideable so it is kinda lucky you were on this one! :-)

@@HippoDrones Not to mention the cost of dropping something newer! 😅 So far its cost next to nothing to get the bike back on the road.

@@krustyboots2586 Ace to hear! :-)

I use a Gitup Git2. It works well for me, most importantly it was very cheap! :)

Thanks to Hippo-Drones for the recomendation! :)

@@krustyboots2586 holy crap that's the Git2? I have two of them 😂 What settings do you run it at? 👀

@@Pooley650 1440p @30fps, with stabilisation, bitrate: high, metering: center, microphone: low with USB lavalier mic plugged in. 👍 I've been thinking about trying a 2 camera set up. 🤔

@@krustyboots2586 ah very nice. I might give that a try myself and throw the credit your way of course 🙂 Having a b roll makes editing 10x easier as the cuts can be hidden by switching angle, sneaky stuff indeed. Thanks for the replies btw 😁

I honestly don't know exactly what it was but I'm 100% sure it was rider error! 😅 I was getting the sensation that there wasn't a lot of grip from the tyres towards the end of each session so perhaps my tyre pressures were a bit too high? 🤔

Nope 😂🤦‍♂️

I had no one one to ask for advice at the time. Live and learn 😁

I've got the AGV K3-SV which I think is essentially the same shell but with a sun visor built in. It's a lot better than my old helmet. It's got a half decent seal around the neck and a chin flap. The shell is shaped pretty well with regards to noise and at speed the helmet feels weightless due to the aero. Its still a budget lid though, I wear earplugs if I'm riding outside the city (over 40mph). AGV's have a slightly different fit than other helmets though so it might not work with your head, for me its the most comfortable fit out of all the lids I've tried. Only thing to do is to try it on and see. I would note that my cheek pads compressed over time so its not as snug as it used to be. The K5 is similar but its fiberglass construction rather than pollycarb so that's the one I'll probably go for next time. Hope that helps :)

@@krustyboots2586 Ok thanks. I thought it was the K1. I've ordered one to try ;)

Hope you like it, only way to find out is to try it. The helmet is a very personal area... 😜
