Amazing Joe Kopp video

Joe Kopp from ScoobyDoo2 on Vimeo.

Thanks to Stu for the comment that put us on to this. Earlier today we posted a shot of Smokin Joe's disintegrated XR750. This video shows how it happened. Scary. I bet every mechanic on the GNC circuit is busy checking welds this week.
Lots of things struck me about this video.
1. Listen to the hum of atmosphere before the start.
2. Check out Chris Carr's blistering starts. I can't believe I've shared a track with him.
3. Thank goodness for air fences.
4. Green Onions is a great track.
Thanks to whoever filmed it and put it on Vimeo too. GI

    You can only imagine the confusion in Kopp's mind as that happened. 'Shit, that felt like the back end fell off...'

    as usual the rider is left crawling around while the bike receives plenty of attention -
