Today we give you a few minutes of pure poetry with an on-board camera from Eddia Lawson, riding the legendary Cagiva 500. At the time he was busy qualifying for the GP at Eastern Creek and shows how difficult a true sports ride can be.
If you liked yesterday’s on-board video, halfway through a hard working week when you’re already thinking about weekend escapades, we give you the second part to the Passo del Faiallo. More corners and that swinging through the Italian countryside.
Usually camera car videos on the road, like this one, are examples of the stupidity of the biker, filming where the finish is generally on the road somewhere, with scratches and damage to the bike and the pride of the person involved. But today we can enjoy a nice film which is definitely goes against the grain: this is a pleasant on board tour of the Passo del Faiallo, in Turchino.
As the corners and panoramas unfold, this is a gentle ride on a Suzuki SV650 with no risk taking or speed records being set. On a good road, the best thing sometimes is just to cruise and enjoy nature and the view, without risking your life to prove your studpidity to yourself and others.
