Go fr it Dave!
We rode to the Knox Mountain Hill climb in Kelowna BC last year - watched the cars and a few bikes try to beat the best time. Lots of fun.
The orange one was very fast - little screamer with turbo spitting out the tarmac but the B V8 sounded so cool flat out!
:hat:

Well it was a good weekend - I'll post some pictures and video up soon once I've sorted them. Saw one 14 there, I've got a picture and a name, but don't think he's on here. Didn't get to speak as he was in the next set of those to run the hill, so never got the chance.

On the way down though - had a pigeon hit me when I was doing about 75 - ye gods. It actually caught the screen and deflected into the side of my helmet / top of my shoulder, still gave a hell of a thump mind, had it caught me straight on it could have been a different story. No footage unfortunately, but I've avoided the buggers all the way home for sure!

So some pictures from the weekend - some interesting bikes - look closely at the pictures of the Kawasaki 400 and 250.....yes they are not optical illusions, the guy actually cuts the engines in half with a hacksaw, welds them together and then re-assembles.....clever bugger!

...and this was the GSX1400 that did the run - anyone recognise it? Someone on here maybe?

Some cool stuff there.  Is that "400" a 5 cylinder ?

Yep - and the 250 Kwai is a 4 cylinder. The guy "makes" engines from bolting 2 (or 3) together
