Great little film although I could do with a bit more scenery and less tank gazing next time! Well done for getting out, I'm guessing the Ensign tyres get the thumbs up?! REgards, Mark

Yes, the camera angle was a little disappointing,
it was achieved with an iPhone5 and a bungee
around my chest.
Oddly enough for me, I decided against doing a
second 'take' !
today it rained, followed with a little snow. I can't even stand upright
on the road now! Poor bikes not going anywhere!

It was taken in France, that's why I take the EFI there,
It means 'Enfield France Internment'.
engine braking only on the ice, but better to maintain speed.
most of it was done with feet ON the rests, except the really icy main road!

Gaah! I could feel the back wheel start to go just by watching that, took me back to my drop the Beeza days on the winter commute to a certain Coastguard station...
Nice thump from that W.S. Woodsman silencer, I wonder if our hosts have finished unpacking them yet...
Grand stuff.

Yeah !---Pit of the Stomach feeling, eh ??---------- I used to commute to work on a 1970's Honda CG125 and even that was a "Sphincter-Clenching" ride-of-rides on the 6AM black ice......... and I only had about 5 miles to go...... Walk it ?....when there'a bike to ride ??....no way !!
