Dunno why anyone would have issues with you posting a biking video

The road conditions look a bit crap. I thought it was just our roads cluttered with potholes and patches of different surfaces?

What camera is that and how did you get the little map on the right. That's ace :)

Nice vid, though you were speeding. Terribly naughty :)

Those roads may look crap quality wise, but trust me, they are miles better than here! A lot of it is shell grip, and is grippy as a grippy thing from gripsville. The run up to the 500 is epic.... best road bar none for me....

as30v is the camera the overlay is a bit slow at updating. Im going to look into it and see if theres anything i can do about it

Kwacky the road surface's over there are great there were a couple of roads were it was a bit bumpy / patchy but 95% were smooth and grippy

As Rocket says great roads but can see in the video they may look dodgy even though they aren't. But I will say that over banding is slippy even in the dry.

We were heading North towards Baden-Baden, a gen 1 and a gen 2 Tuono infront and me on my RSV mille. With the lay-by being on the right I can only assume that I thought the road was wider than it actually was. I panicked braked when I realised I wasn't going to make the turn, grabbed a hand full of front brake, bike stood up, there was gravel in the lay-by and I went down at about 10mph. Looking back I should have used my rear brake and lent it in. But using the rear brake instinctively didn't come natural then, but it does now! Been past that spot a few times and each time there is bits of bike debri, tyre skid marks and scrapes on the tarmac

These pics taken the following year when me and wor lass went in the car
