Horse Thief Lap with Lee Parks.

So Sunday i was at Horse Thief Mile for a Lee parks track clinic, some time during the day lee says to me "mind if i take it for a few laps"?

Sure i say just keep the revs below 8500 as it is in run in mode.....

I didn't realize it at the time but i had left my Go Pro running, here is the result.

I see he briefly went past 8500 a couple times.

too bad you didn't have the gopro aimed at the rider. Very cool

Very generous Richard.

Looks like a fun ride for Cali canyon carving!!

That sound!

Great stuff.

Too cool!

Though I would have been faster than the esteemed Mr. Parks.

Can't wait to watch it tomorrow with a high-speed connection. Sounds like fun.

Go, By the way, my name is Don Parks, can I ride your scooter to?

"Bat out of Hell" applies here. Thanks for sharing.

I'm going hold a Dave Black pie eating clinic and invite Richard so I can ride that motorcycle.

And yes that video was awesome.

It won't be long and Richard will have a dedicated trailer for the track bike and all the required accessories including a dressing room for his highness.

The maintenance on those is worse than the BMW.

Shadows on a track, especially on the curves, are distracting.

They would kill me before the BMW also.......
