Bennington Triumph Bash

I've been sick for a week *cough* - *hack* and the weather iwas crappy before that. I dont do twos wheels in the snow. I'm just now getting over the crud, but dont want to risk riding this weekend cause I'm still *hack*ing a bit. So I'm gonna watch my video I did before I got sick ...

Awesome video!


Did you shoot it? Where is the camera mounted. How long can you shot video for? Maybe you can shoot one of our group rides! Front to back!


Get well soon!

Ton Up!

Oh.. man... that was great , nice road. It's 20° out a bit to cold for me to go for a ride.
Thanks for the ride.

Bonafide!


Bring your badge in case we get pulled over while hanging some standup wheelies! (and the camera) Amazing how stable the camera was.,

Hell yeah! You guys need to move down here, there's no snow, but it's kinda cool. I still want to make it up to GA and ride with you guys, it looks like a fucking blast!

Great video for a cooooooollllldddd January day!

P.S. Nicely set to Jailbreak!

The camera is mounted to my back up helmet - small lipstick style. you can see the edge of it in the top righthand corner. I can record for 6 hrs on one SD card. The other guys are Thrux-ton-up (on his T100) and Scot03Bonnie (on his T100). - I'm on my Thruxton that has a Norman Hyde TX fairing on it aka a 77-80 Ducati 900SS fairing.

I always have my badge on me but it doesnt always prove to be a get out of jail free card - especially by proxy. You do wheelies and a LEO sees you, you'll probably go to jail or get a hefty ticket at least.

Hmm... I dunno, Tito, I think we may need to take Bonafide over to T*** Road.

Mark!

Sounds goof as long as he can video me wheelin over the entire Champlain Bridge! He is worthy of T-road! (80 corners in 7 miles with a twist , we tried to do the TON and then some all the way thru it! )

Bring it on! Me likey curves ... not sure about doing 100mph thru them. The Thrux provides the sensation of going faster than actual. 80-90 thru some sweepers is about it. I tend to bruise if I fall down. - I sold my ZX6R cause unless I was going over 100 mph ... it always felt like I was riding in slow motion.

Bonafide!

Don't forget your camera!

I wont - it's attached to my helmet!!!!

Bonafide, I don't think we Bonnie/Thrux riders could actually manage to break the ton on T*** Rd. Not enough straightaways to build up the speed with our 60hp engines. And some of those curves are definitely not 100mph curves, except maybe on a bike that's actually capable of leaning 70 degrees.

Truth be told, that road is twisty enough that even sticking to the speed limit (45 or 50) you'll be leaning pretty far in a lot of the curves.

I'll have my DOC credentials with me which never fails especially with the story I bring with it! If there is one thing, in my opinion, that LEO’s have great respect for - is anyone that would volunteer their personal time and go into one of those shit-holes and try to carry a message of hope and help bring these guys back down the right path!!

They probably think you're too crazy to ticket and it would be a waste of ink and paper.

another video ..
