Rocket III Touring against M09 Custom

[Binnsy]

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.

Yes, didn't want to say it but his riding technique is not good... My Roadster would have eaten him up, even with me riding

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.

@albertaduke

let me know. Actually I move from Bremen (north of Germany) towards the south. Will life in the near of Ramstein-Airbase, which you probably know. that means close to the French border. Lots of good tracks in the near Vosges.

Hope I can spend most of the time in Catalunya and the Pyrenees. Anyhow, if you ship over I try to arrange something.

All the best

As the others pointed out, that other fella sure has poor technique, especially for a "former racer".

Former racer riding around in shorts makes me laugh my balls off, as everyone is saying his technique is **** but he can handle the bike so I would put it down to him trying to show off for the camera.
Enjoyed it thanks for posting it.

I agree,
If you look at around 9 minutes, Hardy just takes off, no one following, very nice to watch this clip.
Thanks

Ok, I'm spoiled. Great scenery, but the pavement looks rough. I like smooth pavement...
