Title: my turf,.Brasil
Post by: toyopete on March 23, 2009, 02:35:27 PM
Hello guy's coincidentely I found a piece of film made in Salvador  Brasil.
it is done on a GS 500, ( not mine I wear gloves ) but  I drive the same route between stuck cars every day.
its on you tube,.  youtube.com/watch?v=-QIo64tHF20&NR=1
gives you an impression of the dense traffic here, every day we have 200 motorcycle acidents here.
2 of them never get up again.
but that won't surprise you if you see the movie...

keep it up!

And if you look in his mirror hes just wearing a tank top. That's going to hold up real well in the inevitable crash from driving like that.

I.ll sure will do my best to stay in one piece, and actually this is not the worst part,
I want to shoot a film before entering the centre of town, you will love that one,...
today  the garage told me my bearings at the frame/ frontfork are shot to hell, .that is strange driving, looks like the steer is stuck, must look like your drunk.
the bumpy roads must be the cause..

stay awake,

Pete
