Sounds crap, had it on a stem mount with a piece of lock wire in case it dropped off lol

You're not hanging around there Bananaman, amazing the way Plater gets out of some of those corners without appearing to put any effort in!! Few have have achieved what he has in racing mind..

Such a nice bloke, rides with ease. He was riding on other peoples scrubs all the time lol

Loupe the track is superb, been going there for 9 years now. Going to have my ashes scattered there if i get my way. Great bit of riding there Bananaman might see you out there soon. hoping to do 2 days at Andalucia and 2 at Almeria in Sept

Great vid - good lappage!

Excellent, roll on Spring. What was Steve Plater riding ?

 

[Marzy]

I see you are taking Platers line around the long left. I paid for a day with him there and he got to follow the radius like you. Hodgson wanted me to turn out and increase the length of the straight on the way out. Soooo many lines on that corner.

It's a good video, thanks for posting.

awesome riding, awesome vid

 

[bananaman]

Yes, there is the fast in, wide at the middle then turn and squirt out but that line lets someone up the inside and block the way out. Plater was on an s1000rr, shocked me how early he gets on the gas. Also went around with him lunchtime in the car while he explained the apexs and how far ahead they look on track, F*** me, you gotta be 100% sure of yr line in, he must be looking 5secs (track time) ahead all the time. Mind you, as he said, at the TT he's looking not secs but miles ahead to keep alive lol.
