Hi all!

Yeah, our TRX makes many other riders wonder ... last time at the Lausitzring a guy with a Triumph had a similar corner speed like me but when I passed him he couldn't overtake me on the straights. Then in the wide 180 degree left I was a gear too low and could not shift while leaning (original shift pattern) and he passed me - but at the end of the round I passed him on the brakes again :D :twisted: (how do I post a video here - no youtube, its a .vob file)
