Really enjoyable. You’re a good pitch man and your own enthusiasm and explanations were easy to follow.

[@Extremegaz25]

Nice bit of racing dave, the twins sounded good.

[@nickrider5220]

You ought to tell Martin to pull his finger out......as young Franco is doing rather well on another bike you've prepared ! .......considerably better in fact 😂

[@peterjons3954]

Good stuff Dave! You always inspire me to get off my old backside and get out there. I'm not a racer, just an old track day rider and I applaud you for doing what you are doing. Best wishes and best of luck for the new season!

[@kevinslater150]

Well done Dave another great vid , pop an say hi to gav an Kev at Pirelli tyre fitting tent at donington. Keep up the great work an come on Franco !!!

Hey Dave, your bike & young lad Franco is doing great! Seen your lovely face on BSB tv! Fantastic achievement by you, Franco, the bike & team! Certainly making a mark & being noticed by all! Great stuff you getting some fun time for yourself too! Well done champ ⭐️🙌

[@markbteeps]

Good fun stuff, and really good of you to make the effort to feature younger riders.

[@georgebarnes8163]

this event must be kept alive

[@flamintasty]

Great video, what are friends for if you can’t take the piss out of them!!

[@curttabor2827]

Great vid , good times with good friends this is what life is all about

[@Shinysideup]

Great video Dave love your infectious enthusiasm.

[@rnp1181]

Love how you chat with other riders & was so pleased to see you get Lissy Whitmore on for the before & after thoughts. I already knew of Lissy from short circuit on tv but that bit of time you put in to get that chat encouraged me to view her socials and.put her on the radar more. Keep up the good work both on the roads and the short circuit stuff 👍

[@Velodictorian]

Good to see you out on the bike. If you want better on-board audio, consider throwing a small audio recorder (could even be a smartphone) in either your leather’s chest pocket or the tail of the bike and sync it by clapping a couple times

[@richardchown1344]

As always quality vlog Dave. Looking forward to meeting you and your gang in the flesh at the TT this year🤞

[@stephenbeamis1151]

Brilliant great to have racing back liked the rear facing camera as always top action

[@stevesvids]

Hey buddy. I had a dabble at Minitwins back in 2012 ish. Crashed my fairings up, had some real nice ones made up and painted and then its sat idle covered over since then. Do you know anyone looking for an SV650 Minitwin, quality shocks, pipe, and spare wet wheels. Just need it to find a good home. Too old now. I was old then, but even older now 😂 Cheers.

[@obsession_engineering]

Not off the top of my head but if I hear of anything I'll send them your way

[@stevesvids]

@@obsession_engineering Top man Enjoy your season buddy. Will be watching with interest. 🙂👊

[@tonycampbell9506]

Proper entertainment fellers,I hope your start to the season carries on through the rest.keep up the good work 👍👍

[@deanmsimpson]

Great video Dave! It had it all! Even a bit of glamour 😉👍

[@Jules750..]

[@grachoderunwiderstehlichen]

[@chriscaedmon1525]

This made my evening. Brilliant video... as always

[@bobvincent5921]

Fantastically close quarters action, loved it.🧜‍♀

[@mattmid7012]

Good stuff Dave, looks like Franco's inspiring you now! No Eric this time, or did I imagine he was at the last Scarborough race video you did?

[@obsession_engineering]

He's been before but couldn't make it over this time

[@paulmoir4679]

Awesome 😎 as always Dave , was good to have a catch up , you at cock of north ? I have my first entry in twins category 😊

[@obsession_engineering]

Not sure on my plans after TT yet. I may well make an appearance though

[@irisgardener4141]

Road racing! Smiles all round 😀

[@mentalsid3701]

fantastic ,,,,,,,, well done !!!

[@gerrycollins2335]

It may be hard to believe, but the normal glamour content of the pit crew was actually enhanced by the Grid Girls. Sign them up.

[@celestialdesign9611]

lol yep had a bolt on my steering dampener come out at Road America massive head shake over the crest on the front straight at 150mph! CODE BROWN

[@obsession_engineering]

By eck that sounds exciting!!

[@ianwheatley3838]

Great vid and congrats to Franco.

[@DeathsStalkerRVT]

Nice video, also I see you have the same moto as me. "no point in having friends if your can't make fun of them" ;-) That track sort of reminds me of a track I've raced in Canada "Atlantic Motorsport Park" in Shubenacadie in Nova Scotia, Canada. The trees at much further away and we can race 1000cc bikes but I ripped around on my Honda 250GP bike .

[@obsession_engineering]

Might have to come over and check it out 😁

[@DeathsStalkerRVT]

@@obsession_engineering The Canadian Superbike Championship has a you tube channel that show the 600 and superbike races that were broadcast on our "sports"TV station so you could see many of the tracks some are ok but several of the past were down right sketchy ;-P

[@reneh4602]

Hi, the fairing of your bike looks great (1:24) . Can you tell me where to buy it. Thanks. Regards René

[@obsession_engineering]

Farando racing, based in the Isle of man

[@reneh4602]

@@obsession_engineering Thanks for the fast response. Did they have a internet shop where I can buy it. I'm from germany so I couldn't pick it up. For what bike model is the fairing? I thinking to put it on my Aprilia RS 250.

[@stevec-b6214]

Great fun to watch, btw, pre-race, have you tried blue smarties?

[@obsession_engineering]

I've not... Small blue pills to improve performance 🤔

[@davidsampson3537]

Bloody love this videos Dave . Oh Francos doing well 😁😁😁

[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

It looks so narrow on the onboards, the thought of charging round there in the wet is scary! Nice riding in the dry, though, Dave!

[@JayGee6996]

Congrats Franco.. sorry I mean Dave 😅

[@obsession_engineering]

[@kawi704racing]
