I went down to Mid-Ohio this past weekend and raced my Royal Enfield 500 Bullet at the Vintage Motorcycle Days. I had a Go-Pro camera installed on my helmet and on my bike for practices and the races. I know in one video, some guy on a Norton goes flying by me, I think he goes by Homeslice? :)

Anyways, here are some links to the videos.

Practice sessions from Saturday (both are helmet mounted):

Is the camera loose, the horizon sure tips alot on some of the views : )

Here's video of the wet turn dumps. Its something similar i face and was wondering if anyone would feel their looseness and just head off road upright like a man and maybe save it and at least one did. Someday with crash bars on bike and pillow on my hips I will try to see if Gravel skiing works similar on wet stable surface.

I have ended up in that gravel pit at the end of the back straight before, it stops you pretty quick. :lol:

Mid-ohio is a fun track to race on and luckily I live a couple hours away, so I can make the trek down for VMD every year.
 
UGH THE Gravel. I've run off corner school tight track at near 100 mph when came up too fast on other riders into a sweeper and stayed wide of them, to test my panic sense riding half air borne over loose sandy grass lumps but convinced myself it was just like my home pasture fun so just hang on w/o brakes and got back on track, whew. A few others flew off too but ended their week end with hospital visits. Later i wheelied surprise @ ~120 to break bike and neck so not exactly mastered this stuff.

There is controversy about THE Gravel pits as more dangerous less saving grace than just paving it wider for run offs. I'd vote pave It.
