In that 1/1000 of a second he moved forward approximately 7.77 millimeters.

Nice shot. Whats the lever he's pulling with his left hand? Rear brake?

I'm guessing short throw clutch so he can hang on while engaging. Back sprocket was about the size of a Buell rear pulley too.

Here's a few of my favourites from the Burt Munro Challenge gig. Chris Watson on his long tracker beach racing was spectacular.

i think Danger is correct, you can see the other lever has a small tube going to a resevoir mounted in the center of the bars. Neat shots, keep them coming

The big lever is the rear brake and the small one is the clutch. Just editing an interview now for part two. Here is part one:

I'm guessing he doesn't look at his speedo much. (I know zilch about stunting... I'm guessing he removes the front fairing stuff...?) ~SM

A lot of interchangeable parts from the 636 to the Z1K. I jumped the gun, saw my speedo tucked inside the fairing and just figured it was a Z.

They take everything that can break off. He dropped it three times in the show, Twice on purpose.
