Howdy Dave, yes JLP and John Mclaughlin with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Remember John Mc and JLP playing off each other felt like the top of my head was coming off 8)
How about a meatloaf cover.... Haven't been in the forum for a while so no doubt this has already been posted, apologies if it has. https://youtu.be/-sMaPE6rTA0
I hadn't seen that vid before Drikko. Thanks for posting. Some cool bikes. Not only a bunch of Laverdas, a Triumph and a Guzzi but also a Bimota Tesi 3D.
Looks like it may have been shot in Germany. Where was Piet?
Re: Bat out of Hell - Laverda video. Nice video production some great bikes but what happened to ATGATT, makes me cringe just watching,(ATGATT)= ALL THE GEAR ALL THE TIME. No gloves no helmet no thanks. Ever tried riding fast without a helmet, it sucks, not cool.
But - as soon as he dropped the helmet with a "Yahoo" his expectation of life did shrink to no more than 3 minutes! Made me see that sequence in a new light! :
The Bat out of hell clip is done in northern Germany. Most of the Laverdas and other motorcyles in the video are owned and driven by a couple absolutely with the heart in the right place and real Laverda enthusiasts: She is seen on the very first Laverda arriving in the video. He is arriving just after her as second one in that very first sequence of the video.
At 6:30 - the start of the "race" - he is driving his space frame - she is on the other side on the second endurance triple. Here the photo showing him driving without tattoo (sorry, have only that blurry one) :'(
and she - driving the endurance triple:
Last year I could chase him on my 3CL a little bit on his space frame. So he did film me with his rear cam starting at about 4:32 for some laps. After my overtake, he will catch me very soon
I thought I'd see if there was any racing to be seen at Circuit Of The Americas COTA whilst I'd be visiting Austin, Texas. No racing, but I found a great event in Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic and Fireworks. Willie has been hosting this gig since the 70s at various locations.
A great line up of bands over 13 hours.
Met lots of colourful characters. So much patriotism in a very friendly, fun environment.
