This past Monday I went down to Mid-Ohio with my dad and a couple other friends for a free Track Day. I took the Enfield down and putted around and took some video's with my little Go-Pro camera. The first one was mounted on the front fairing/cowling and the second one which I will put up tonight was a rear shot from the tail section.

The cowling video is bouncy/rough in area's, as the cowling is only mounted from the bottom, so the top has some flex/movement to it, add the forks into the mix and it gets bumpy  :D

I was out in the advanced group with a lot a faster bikes, so there is a lot of bikes flying by me.  :D

I will post the rear shot tonight when I get home.

Nice sound - sounds great on speakers that have some bass in them!

Great audio! That burly, beefy, torque bastage racket reminds me of driving a pretty hot Austin Mini around MOSCC ..... Flat the f@#k out .... and waiting for the ends of the straights! Hahaha! I dare say that the little Enfield is probably faster than the well-tuned Mini .... I could almost read the badges on the Race Marshall's vest as I went by the pit area, red-lined, waiting for the entrance to turn one ...... that's just GREAT stuff!!  ;D
Spare the pig iron - spoil the part!

Ok, this one is less blurry, but may cause nausea from the camera facing behind me. Also, sound may suck.

The bike tops out on the dyno around 115ish I think, so maybe 100 or so on the back straight.
