What films/clips are these from

[LiamB]

This has been bugging me for a while.

I found these 2 videos that are in my opinion, bloody great. But I have no idea where they're from?!

I think they are the same thing anyway, the narrator chap sounds the same on both.

Fast Bike video's.

The narrator is Colin Schiller. (sounds like an over dub from a 1970's porn flick)

Fast Bikes magazine crew in the late 90s. One of their members was one Shane 'Shakey' Byrne. Idolised these guys in my early 20s.

They used to produce videos for the magazine and at one point were banned from borrowing press bikes from both Honda and BMW. They used to destruction test everything they got hold of.

Check out these 3 if you liked those. You'd have been a toddler when this stuff was going on!

Amongst the many reasons I love and bought a 996 Ducati was this video. Ending is superb!

Cheers for the links.

Wow! Just wow! That 996 vid is awesome!

[rsv gone!]

I can never find the one with the RSVR in France.

Great videos. Look up the scooter one. It is hilarious.

I may be mistaken but I think one of the riders was on here for a while. The one that did the rolling burnout in the ferry.

No wonder bikers get a bad name.

The one in the OP or a different one?

I love those old Fast Bikes vids, you couldn't imagine them getting away with it these days

Don't remember if he was the one on the Ferry, but John Cantlie posted in a thread about him being kidnapped.

I've got Mach 2, where Rob Frost, Shakey Byrne and co, take R1, Busa, zzr1100 and a Blackbird to the south of France, it's bloody epic.

The whole reason I had to ride the N85 on my SPS, I even downloaded the Fast Bikes tune to my I-Pod, in 98 I watched one of the videos and was out practicing rolling burnouts immediately after.

I spoke to Gary Mason and Shane Byrne years ago about these videos and they both said they had there time of their lifes, I don't know them just see them in the paddock and told them I'd been on the N85 due to watching them on those roads.

When they wheelie everywhere through London and almost all down the A20, awesome.

I was just getting seriously into bikes when these vids were released. Great, great videos by awesome riders. The 'Busa drifting out of the hairpins in France was incredible. And I'm sure there was a vid of Shakey wheelying and reading out the speed, something like "110, 120, 130, 140, fk me!".

I've just watched the above video all the way through with a smile on my face which is something for a cynical bastid like me.

They really were mad buggers and Colin was as mad as the lot of them, can you imagine trying to do that stuff now? People can't tie their shoe laces without a method statement or risk assessment.

These videos are keeping me alive in college.

Mad bunch, try it these days and it would be an insta ban.

[996 sps]

Not in da S O F!! As jimarallo would say.

On da flip side.
