He's riding an R1150GS but the title indicates it's an R1200GS. It's definitely an R1150 dash.

Man that looks like a total blast. Going to see the Isle of Mann races is something that I want to do at least once. Who is the the Paul Young person who filmed that?

If you back up to http://fungusgs-spot.info you'll see his bike and some dyno sheets. I think he lives somewhere in the UK.

Me too!
He figured out the lap time and his average was 75.3MPH. He stated that IF he could have kept that same lap time for FIVE more laps, he would have placed 34th in the 1951 Seniors Isle of Man TT. :dunno Sobering. ;)

He figured out the lap time and his average was 75.3MPH.That video is nowhere near a full lap. It starts when he's leaving Ramsey and doesn't even make it to Douglas before he stops.

Correct! I never suggested it was a full lap on the video. I just found some more data on Paul Young too..... http://tinyurl.com/4vmw5

Yeah. I figured we'd see him go over Governor's Bridge and then on down over the start/finish.

Great video.

So what do European's do for the biker waver? Obviously the dropped left hand isn't going to work.
