    North West 200

    This video woke me up today... better than coffee...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8aAG...&feature=share

    ... and that's just ONE LAP!

    Is there anywhere in USA that still has street racing after the end of Steamboat?

    That was awesome! No street courses left here that I'm aware of, but then again, other than Laguna Seca one year for World Superbike, I've never been to a race outside Colorado. I would give my left ..., umm... nevermind, to go to the IoMTT at least once.

    Very cool video! I bet that camera was super expensive back in the day.

    Interesting to run the two videos side by side with a synchronized 'go' to compare the old 250s with this new bike. I prefer the on-helmet cam to give a better idea of what the rider and bike are really doing.
