Swiss alps on triumph (part 2)

what goes up, must come down.
this is the downhill section of grimsel pass. lots of fast straights, tight bends and steep drops on each side, as well as a few tunnels to contend with.
Its a bit steeper and a few water patches on the road made it a bit more interesting.

Where you put your camera?? Nice video and amazing 3 cylindres sound ;)

[helrado]

On the tank, strapped with elastic straps connected to frame, with small block of wood under front of camera to tilt up to view.

Nearly lost it a few times but managed to hold on to it till the end.

Yeah sound was so awesome, very different to a four or twin..:)

I like your video quality. What was your setup camera-wise. I also noticed that your right hand cornering is a little stuttery - evidenced by uncertain lines through corners and throttle chopping. Your avge speed (you can see the reflection in the screen thru the tunnels) was pretty steady at 100(ish)kph. The top speed blast sounded awesome - I love the triple. Is it a stock exhaust or aftermarket?

Camera was just sony handicam strapped to tank with elastic straps, with little block of wood under front of camera to tilt.

Bike was stock, i hired it from a shop in XZurich, with 1200 k's on it.

I am getting a bit shakey in my old age, especially on the modern sports bikes, old wrists start to hurt after three days and self presevation is starting to take control.

Bike sounded awesome..:)
