Yes, I know I missed a gear at one point.
Yes, there was a representative of the (much-esteemed) law enforcement establishment behind me at one point.
Yes, the other bike in the video was much faster than me (but it had roughly eight times the power that I did).

GREAT road.

Hi Kokosun

Great vid and some nice looking sections of road.

At first I was wondering if you were on your ninjette, as it seemed to be pulling pretty fast. Then I saw the overtake at 1:16 and though: "yes; that is unmistakeably a 2fiddy-style overtake". Engine over 10000 rpm, probably in full tuck, slowly passing the average-car which is comfortably cruising along to your left

Also: nice wiggle at 4:44

Yup. I was on the Ninjette, and the bike that overtook me was a friend on his Aprilia with 180hp. The car that I leisurely overtook was going fast. I won't note the speed here, but it wasn't 'comfortably cruising'. That road is awesome. I'm definitely going to go back and ride it again. I was thinking of going very early one weekend morning.
