You really can't beat a Triumph 650cc for light weight power and light handling. throw in 2 inches of travel and you can go like no one else, Much fatster than the Harley 900 hard tail. Which was a popular MX bike in the USA in the late 1940s
Back in those days all movies were mute and fast motioned (racers never reached more than 12 mph). Racers wore three alpine sweaters and beggar bowls as head protection. The scientists aside the track turned 800 pound road 1200 cc motorbikes into mxrs. Other guys in white coats were chiropractics who fixed all kinds of bones and backs after the race. The Inquisition didnt allow girls with miniskirts and the last ones to cross the finish line were forced to cross fire barriers as punishment.
Thanks for the comment. I actually built a transfer unit with HD industrial camera. Each frame is scanned in HD. The original is in 1400x1040 pixels and looks much better. cheers. E
badass!

Well... As far as I am concerned a golf course is a potential MX track. Regarding the wall of fire ... not sure just good fun I suppose

How did you copy this? Did you just project to a wall and then shoot with a video camera? The
colors came out REALLY good.
