Finally decided I'd sorted the bike out enough to put a camera stand on it. Sorry for the sound, I had the camera on Hi instead of Lo for mic volume... found that out when I got home and started playing with the camera.

Text from video: The Kingston boys take to the Shannonville long track and get stupid in the last session. I get stupid anyways... right at the end I manage to wheelie the bike sideways off the hairpin and land in the grass... that's a first! I spent lots of time sandbagging to get good video, although Bruno had stepped up the pace a lot and I wasn't exactly idling to catch, as you can see from all the wagging of the bars. A very good night, although my buddy Martin (seen on the red CBR with a left rearset half held on by zip ties) did crash and my trailer has a shovelful of dirt in it.
This is the 200hp++ 2008 GSX-R 1000 I purchased this spring. Put fresh Ferodo CP 211 pads on it, fixed the fork seals, jigged the suspension a bit, changed the oil and bled the brakes before this event, and was able to turn some pretty good laps in the high 1:56 range on it; not in this video with the sun in my eyes, however. Most of these laps were in the 2:02+ range following to get video.
More suspension work is needed... a spring project in the making...
