In this video i carry out pre ride safety checks then take the viper out for a ride. I carry out these checks before i ride the bike on the road because of its size and power. There are also some riding clips from when i rode to the Isle of man TT in 2012 with my sons Sam, Stephen and friend Ian. It was the wettest TT of the 11 times iv'e ridden a motorcycle to the Isle of Man with 4 days of solid rain! the viper behaved its self most of the time but I dad have a couple of moments with a wayward back end ! The in pits footage at Elvington runway was shot by Dunk Rose (d-rphotography.weebly.com) We were also filming for an episode of Henry Coles ITV4 The Motorbike Show which was fun. The on bike video is from one run where I reached a 1/4 throttle gentle run of 189mph, but i shut off early going through the timing at 182mph. I ride my Viper V10 for fun using a fraction of its speed capability. Motorcycle News tester Bruce Dun rode the Viper at Bruntingthorpe proving ground in 2009 to a speed of 207.101mph using around half throttle. Since i completed the bike in August 2009, I have ridden it over 9000 miles on the road and over 200mph at Bruntingthorpe. I enjoy riding the ViperV10 to bike meets and shows during the summer.
