Some vids posted here before. This I nicked from another forum just to remember that nice event:

Collection of vids:

Check especially the first one, from mid when Simo Kirssi does amazing "slalom" braking technique ultra-rarely seen with big bikes, using "pulse" method with the rear wheel. It's a pity Simo didn't win the King's class altough technically he would be, but he did one more serious braking error that took his win and put him 2nd after Knight. It was few seconds time difference.


Here's 47MB video of Austrian ORT channel:

This vid is also KTM-biased, since it's Austrian TV-channel. But they show some HP2s.

Anyways, it's not very nice to see how the Erzberg is a "home-game" for KTM factory: they barely mention the two Prologue wins that Simo took home, which were technially much more difficult than the King's class where 2-cyl only where on the track. Prologs had over 1000+ bikes, considerably worse track conditions, and Simo was over astronomical 30 seconds faster track times than the next fastest bike. :bow :bow :bow And they don't show much HP2s in that vid eighter.

Regular stuff at the Erzberg:

Have fun.

Thanks for the post, the HP2 looked menacing and cool in that ORF vid, the 950SE looked a bit bitty..?

And David Knight, bloody hell! again!

Cheers.
 
Is there a source for DVD'S for this event? Duke does not do one.
