Guest philgale Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Until you took your helmet off? thats very true.....helmet hair isnt good Quote
dragolith Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I know, did you see my hair today? Im just watching the vids I took from inside my helmet, and I swear loads on one of the roads! Cos its all new to me and scary Quote
Guest philgale Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 which road.....some dodgy corners on a few roads that snap shut on you....post them up and lets have a look Quote
dragolith Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 They will be posted once I downsize em, and sort em out. Some of them are like 20 minutes long!Could take a while, so will try sort em on a day off next week. First one was the Halifax-Buston road. Then Cat n Fiddle - Macclesfield. The corners werent the scary bit, cos you can see them cleary, and I slowed for them loads. But I know what you mean about tightening!The really scary bit was all the bumps! Random jolts that send you flying in the air! Quote
