        The text portion doesn't tell how many miles/kilometers long the course is.
        Anyone know?

            the sheep are always nervous

            I can understand why. When that guy did that slide and flat spin out into that field they were running for their lives from that bike!!
            I doubt they are used to being chased by many 100mph dogs!

              Wow, I have never felt a bike shimmy under me like those bikes were doing on what looked like severa or more occasions. I hope I never do cause the mess l leave behind will be ugly, even if I don't wreck!!

              On one hand, the adrenaline junky in me says, lets go there and give it a try, but then the sane old man takes over and says, lets just atch them do it!!
              Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

                I'd love to be able to go there and take a ride around the course at normal traffic speeds just to be able to say I'd done it. I don't care about doing it fast, just riding around the course once or twice .

                  DG, you are right about that! If I ever had, or have a wobbler like that at that kind of speed it would take a clean-up crew form a Circus to get the road cleaned up!!
