You are on the grid just before the start of a race when you realise that your helmet isn't fastened. You get it done up, but have to take your gloves off to do it. The race starts, you get a storming start, but you still have your gloves off. In theory you could get black flagged for this so have to decide what to do.... Funny how the mind works when you are forced into making decisions when your senses are already overloaded ...

  • Why is it a necessity to wear gloves while racing?

  • @NaeJoy Mainly because they are flameproof in case of accident.

  • Is that Castle Combe race track? I've got many fond memories of that circuit...

  • @RussianMummy Well spotted.

  • Very good driving with one hand lol. Also where did you get your wing mirrors from? I cant find them anywhere

  • Concave ones from Demon tweaks.

  • I've seen some really odd judgements in the past. Saw someone demoted from pole to the back of the grid because they thought his video camera hadn't been registered (it had). So I didn't want to risk it. My left hand was under the dashboard for most of the race.....

  • That looks like me on the way to work

see all

  • AHAHAHAHAHAH..... VERY FUNNY....  great video M8...

  • i want to see the rest of this race =)

  • Brilliant! Next time you should take a sandwich or something along with you in case you get peckish mid race, teehee!

  • They're not racing!

  • Love this!

  • @RussianMummy i live 4 miles from castle combe :D

  • @apothanein

    Didn't realize you were a biker :P

    I guess I'm just in the routine of fastening my strap as soon as I put on my lid. Nice bikes btw, v. cool selection, not ur usual Jap I4 or Harlies there (not that theres anything wrong w/ that of course)!

    Watching the vid again, not sure why he thought he could fasten lid strap w/ his right glove on, nor why he needed to remove left glove, but perhaps the car lid O-ring is diff from bike lid's O-ring?
