      In the replies you can easily tell who is, or has been a fast biker, and who hasn’t. You did a great ride there, it takes a lot of courage and much more skill than many will understand. Focus on riding your own envelope, treat the Porsches and fast cars just as mobile chicanes. Every fast biker knows that fast cars are for the people who are much too frightened to ride a fast bike, and deep in their souls the car drivers know it as well. You can’t fall off a Porsche, all you really have to do is press the gas pedal, if anything goes wrong, then chassis, protective body shell, air bags, seats, belts, electronic gizmos all work to keep you safe. You don’t agree ? – then go and put leathers and helmet on, straddle a fast bike, pull the visor down and twist the throttle, you’ll never be lonelier and more exposed, closer to your demise than in those moments. The wind is screaming and buffeting around you, your nostrils smell every exhaust and tyre slip in front, you feel the sunlight and shade, the bike flexing as you carve and lean at crazy angles with tyres on the edge of grip, – but you have a helmet and racing leathers. You have to be brave. Respect guy, – go safely. You’ve made an old fast bike lunatic feeling a little younger tonight.

      I didn't read any comments…so…

      The confidence and skill it takes to ride a superbike at these speeds with the rolling road blocks is on a professional level. As a reasonably fast A group track day rider, I'm not sure even I would have the confidence to take my purpose built superbike out there and do what you've done. Absolutely outstanding. Watching your lines and use of the entire track, I'd say this is not your first or even 30th time out there. LOL.

      That was truly amazing if you don't ride a bike its hard to appreciate just how much skill is involved here, what a track, what a bike, but most of all, what a rider 👍

      You have an absolutely insane riding skill, I've been riding for half of my life, you have a really good understanding of the machine, doesn't matter if you are on litre or 600cc sports bike, you can have similar results here. Really good use of quickshifter.

      I applaud.

      Oh what a riders-eye view this was – WOW! Just watching this takes me back to my youth and never seeming to be able to go fast enough or to be desperate to get away from being stuck behind the cars, and that was in the 70's and 80's when there were a paltry amount of them compared to today. The bikes then were nowhere near as sophisticated, advanced quick or as fast as these beauties today. A Dunstall Suzuki GS1000 was about the fastest thing I ever rode, did it's limit (2-up) on the M6 between Mallory and Oulton following the Transatlantic Trophy in 1979. – and I bet it's a kitten compared to your R1….

      That was an amazing, skilful, proficient and courageous ride there, superlative is a word that springs to mind. Keep riding safe for many, many years to come – and watch out for those turning cars, trucks and lorries who's drivers do not know what a mirror is. Thank you so much for uploading this for us all to share.
