The video had to be broken up into 4 parts for size requrements. The first stop was to let the other riders catch up, the second stop was because I heard a noise in my bike (you can hear it towards the end of the 3rd clip...loud metallic clanging) I couldn't find anything wrong and nothing fell off, so I continued on my way. This clip was made on my 3rd pass and my very first time through the Gap while I was not following someone, so I was a bit slow. The video quality is marginal in places. My $20.00 eBay camcorder was not really up to the task. I don't know if the vibration caused the problems or the bike's ignition interfered with the electronics, but the video is shaky in places and went to blue screen in a few others. Let it play and you'll see it all.

The motorcycle that was used to make this video is a 1972 Kawasaki H2 with a Tracy body. The motor is stock with a set of expansion chambers made by Tom Loftis of Knoxville, TN. The camcorder is an old Hitachi 8mm (that has obviously seen better days) that I attached to the H2 in place of the speedometer (that is where it fit)

Unfortunately, the little AR80 developed motor trouble and couldn't tame the Dragon.

More 2 strokes actually on the road at one time than most people at the Gap had ever seen before :)

A whole lot of 2 strokes all in one place :) This was Dave's idea Dave in one of the sharper turns Dave's run back Part 1
