Monarch Pass Video - Across the Top - Final Clip

[Patrick the Scot]

Here is the final clip from the cockpit of El Tigre on Monarch Pass, late May 2006. The whole clip is less than 3 minutes long. Turn the volume up, this is the best collection of curves on Monarch!

The "flash 8" video player takes about 5 secs to upload, if you don't have it.

I'll probably be in Seattle when you get a chance to reply, but tell me this... What is all the white?  Snow?  If so, how fast were you going?



I tried to ride my Tiger in the snow - it was too heavy. Kept trying to slip out from under me.



Oh, well.  I suppose it's just sunlight reflecting off the windscreen.  Still, I are curious...

I enjoyed the video but my PC will not play the sound from the flash movie (*FLV). 8)  

Is there any chance of posting a link to the wmv file (or other format like MPEG or MOV) so it can downloaded and played in windows media player so I can hear the sound as well as watch?

I have the whole trip movie, 1:32 hours long windows media player.  Also, each Monarch clip is originally in window media player.  I am out on the thin branches here, technically, but let me see what I can post up.



I feel for you, cause you got to here the off-road triple singing it's song...

Yeah, that white is called an "old video camera."  The white is road in the sun, the dark is road in the shadows.  The pavement conditions were perfect: warm, (relatively) clean, tight grain new asphalt.



Hope it is sunny in Seattle.

Nice sound Patrick but the road is a bit too "motorway" for me. I prefer them a lot narrower.

I don't know why people ride Harleys. Surely they can't enjoy going THAT slow.

First, I'm about as anti- Harley as a Yankee can get, but I must defend them to a degree.  "Slow" is a relative thing.  You see, they were actually clicking alone pretty fast for what their 50 year suspension technology could handle.  They were probably feeling like they were right on the edge.  Also, I was doing close to 90 MPH when I passed the first one.  I rolled off the throttle and hit the corner about 70 or so.



If you want to see a tight high-speed pass, I'll post some more soon.
