Really appreciate the unique aspect of the raw mechanics you successfully manage to capture.

@1:09 is a problem I never had to consider when I started out in the 1980's. These days, riding/driving near the limit of the car or environment can be frustrating knowing there is pushbikes, slow inattentive drivers & the mobile phone is never far away. Love the sound of the engine on this Kawasaki. The gearbox & clutch on these are particularly good.
