A nice day in Catalunya Spain. I am guiding some friends up to the hill Vallter 2000.
But there is Mikel, a former racer with his modified M09. (lifted and powecommander on board). Mikel asked me, try to keep with me for 3 Minutes.

After 30 Minutes we arrived at the top. I had my cameras mounted.

my summary: the Rocket III Touring is not slow and makes a lot of fun.

My bike hast triple filters, no cat, TOR's, different Mapping and a cleaned airstream.

I should normally lift the bike as well because my floorboards and the mufflers are the biggest problem.

Nice clip Hardy; thanks for posting it. Only downside of a run like that on a road like that is that you don't get to take in much of the scenery. Sure is beautiful countryside.
 
That Suzuki touches down all the time!.. I've thought about lowering my Rocket for looks but that is the reason I haven't..
 

that was awesome!!! :d

I am so often in this area, that I know every stone. The scenery is stunning, thats right. But after approx 50 times in slow mode I had to do it fast. And if somebody asks me "try to catch for 3 Minutes" somehow my ego begins to ride.

btw
everthing was under control, we rode as fast as our guardian angel could fly. there are some stupid comments in the other forum. therefore: the material is not modified. Its straight out of the cam and only cutted and texted.

thank you for your comment
 
That clip reminds me of a bloke I'm pretty close to. Some jackets, gloves and jeans might be handy though. sh*t doe's happen even to the quickest riders.

Part of the reason he touches down so often is the way he's riding. He tips his head against the turn and pretty much keeps his body upright, so the bike HAS to go over further than it should need to. He's so far away from "kissing the mirrors" it's almost dangerous. Peg scraping doesn't always mean fast; sometimes it's just bad technique.
