Nice one Lancelot, great footage especially the push bikes etc on the track.
Just as well MH didn't crash otherwise a visit to the dentist would be required.

Gary - Thanks for posting the link.

I first saw that clip on an American forum I use and was tempted to fit my own steering wheel that way round after seeing it.
( With the bottom of the "Y" pointing up and not down. )

But in the end I fitted it the traditional way to make it easier for me to see the clocks.

It also reminds me to keep an eye out for a GoPro on Ebay so I can start making/posting some videos of my own.

Cheers, Paul.

He needed more than a dentist at the end though.
