2001 FZ-1 @ Barber Motorsports Park

I trying to follow a friend, Brian, on an R6. It was the first session of the day so I asked him to take it easy for the first couple laps so I could get my Pirelli Diablo street tires warmed up. He didn't wait so I played catch up. My FZ-1 was continuously running out of ground clearance, dragging the shift and brake levers.

I finally catch him at about 4:30.

Where do you hold the cam? Can't get that speed sensation when mounted over the gas tank.

Well ridden!!

Thanks. The bullet camera was mounted under the headlights of the FZ-1, and the camcorder that it was connected to for recording was in a camera bag strapped to the passenger seat.

There are images on my website that show this.

You're modest . . . you were clipping along pretty well for a first session, I would say.

Nice run, I love the sound of your bike. It sounds very well tuned (crisp and clean). My FZ1 is still undergoing mods, someday it will be complete. Now only if I had about 3,000 more for suspension upgrades.......

Nice riding.
