'62 Norton in BEARS race @ Barber Motorsports Park, 10/21/07

'62 Norton at Barber Motorsports Park, Sunday, October 21, 2007.
This one is for die-hards only. Unfortunately the cable was loose in the camera making this video almost unwatchable. Regardless, a much better race than the previous day's due to the gearing change (I actually got to use 3 gears) and I have a good dice with Greg Nichols on a Rickman Triumph. He passes me on lap 2, but I manage to pass him back later. He got me in the end and I took 2nd. Unfortunately, the clutch lockring in my gearbox came loose on about the 6th lap, rendering the clutch useless, and I had to speed shift through the rest of the race. By the last lap I had to keep it in a single gear (3rd) as I didn't want to risk locking up the rear wheel trying to downshift without a clutch.

Enjoy. This is only about 6 laps. Sorry for the bad video, but the bike sounds really good in this one.

Nothing sounds like a British twin!

I still wish I had my Atlas.
