    Excellent. Two things struck me: the difference in riding style, and
    also how sodding lethal Spa was at that time.

    lethal? really? did someone die during that clip (I'll have to admit I
    dozed off 1/2 way through it).

    It was the trees very close to the track, and no barriers or nets or
    anything that I could see to prevet you shooting off the tarmac and into
    several large pines.

    We're at Malmedy this weekend and it's really a shame that it's no
    longer a public road circuit.

    IIRC Bazza holds the bike lap record on the old track at around 137mph
    avge. On a shonky old RG500.
