Wauseon Vintage Flat Track Videos

Postby 72westie » Sat Jul 16, 2011 9:10 am

In preparation for next weekend (I am going to be Road Racing at Vintage Motorcycle Days), I pulled out my Go-Pro camera out of hibernation and installed it to the top of my helmet for the Flat-Track races yesterday. The video's came out pretty good. I plan on having my camera mounted to the front of the Enfield for Mid-Ohio this weekend.

The first race was a lot of 250 Yamaha 2 strokes and some 350 Honda's. I was riding a buddies SL350 Honda. At the 32 second mark, you will notice the bike slid sideways for a split second, I was positive I was going to high-side, but it snapped right back.

In this clip, I was racing my mechanics Triumph 750 that he built over the winter. He has been having some health issues, so he allowed me to race it for him. I think I did him proud.

Thanks for that westie. I just replayed the start of that race several times, fantastic, bought a lump to my throat with the memories.
Is that Half mile ? We used to ride, Short circuit (kidney shape 1/4 mile), 1/2 Mile and Mile here.

oHMAN, beats the fun I try to have on THE Gravel. Quite the hand full with each end oscillating both ways. Appreciate you having to straight steer around to keep front from washing out. I like the sense of action with the helmet view over the fixed bike mounts. Go use em up some more.
Throw yourself at the ground and miss!
