Measuring Stick:

Rotor Work:
Gosh, I was not aware of the trauma Toby had to go through to make it to the top. He goes up another rung on my ladder to be with those modern day road warriors like Mick Doohan, Barry Sheene, Valentino Rossi, and the Isle of Man stalwarts John McGuinness and Bruce Anstey.
There was a TV segment on Dakar 2016 showing Toby raising dust on what was virtually a long straight bush track. His speed was shown as 173 kph which must have been assessed by the camera carrying helicopter that was struggling to keep up with him.
Today's society (dare I use the word decadent) badly need people like Toby Price and his ilk. They provide a measuring stick.
O.P.

compressor stall:
Nice photograph of Toby on the bike. I understand the reason he is standing up is to get the C of G lower and this enhances control when on rough ground.

O.P.
