Wow rolling off the throttle like that on the straight... Dangerous af!

Hi mate, was there too, how I missed a Daytona !? Glad to see 2 Triumph in #1 and #2, you're only 0.2 from a full racing Street Triple 765, that's impressive

[@RdB_Racing]

Oh that was you on #1? I did see a white racing 765 at the start of one the sessions. I thinks it's even more impressive doing those laptimes on a naked! Great riding and hopefully we'll meet on track one day!

@@RdB_Racing Oh no I met him on the paddock but that wasnt me, I also have a 765 but not this one (and I dream about a Daytona :D) Nice clips you have, inspiring

[@Joaaj]

Welke tandwielverhouding gebruik je? Zeer snelle tijden, impressive !

[@RdB_Racing]

Lekker gereden weer! Pff…. Die r1, geen beste actie 😱

[@RdB_Racing]

Thanks! Ja, was zijn schuld niet, zijn motor deed het plots niet meer. Gelukkig nam ik de kerb aan de buitenkant 😅

[@kridslem]

@@RdB_Racing Aah dat verklaard een hoop ja! Gelukkig zat je inderdaad aan de buitenkant :)
