7:50 is the time

It's a gryocam, too. Enjoy the ride. No music, just high-strung bike.

That guy must clank when he walks.

4:41, brief moment of "oh E36 M3!" but he recovered.

3-4 minutes in, my wife looks up and says "what is that godawful racket?"

Some places where a guy riding a bike that fast could get hurt. Lots of places.

What's with all the graffiti on the track. I never noticed that in other "Ring videos.

I asked my brother the same thing. His response was that it was there for all the Honda riders to read while they were droning around the track so they'd have something interesting to do.

they clean it up on occasion.. but you will find a lot of clubs put their name on the track. I know the guys from Bimmerforums did it once.

I always wondered what it did for traction.. has to make the track surface more slippery. Personally, I would not want to be responsible for a crash (or worse) for the paint I put on the track

Not only have I seen it in other 'Ring videos, but it's in GT5 too.

The scary part is, the graffiti on the GT5 version is accurate. Or at least, it looks really familiar.
