Great vid!

You were riding the wheels off of those triples Jim! You've got skills to push those old bikes to the limits you do. The brakes, suspension and handling of that little 90's TZR have to be much better than those 70's triples. That TZR is in it's element on those curvy roads, and it was no easy task (for me) keeping up with you. I loved every minute of it tho! :thumbup:

WOW! :clap: Wish I could have been in on that ride! :thumbup: I was busy riding along the Almalfi coast (French Riverera) on a road that has 1190 curves in 37 miles! :e11 In a BUS! :o :lol: It's in the Guinness Book of world records as the curviest road in the world. I would love to ride it on a bike but the busses and trucks are a surprise obstacle you don't want to find around a blind curve, and there are many! :x
We are in Venice now, just watched the sun set from the rooftop bar. ;) Well, gotta go now, time for a night time gondola ride. :wave:
