........what the heck is that........

I remember an early Valkyrie doing a demo lap of the Isle of Man TT Course some years ago.
With a professional rider on board, it absolutely flew! But he misjudged the braking at Signpost Corner (where I was spectating) and overshot into the side road. We all laughed as he ruefully shook his head before carrying on.
A surprisingly agile 'bike for it's size, probably because the weight is kept low down.
