The first stretch on the Fazer looks like the B6255 from Ingleton to Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales, going past White Scar caves.
A good tip if you are going to come of your bike and slide along is not to put weight onto the palm of your hands,
(unless you wear steel gloves!). Instead spread your weight about a bit. Only works if you are wearing protective clothing. If not then it's best not to go in for sliding down the road.

Roads where in the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District. A couple on the ER-5 where in Oldham.
The crash. Erm....
I was doing 60mph and actually aquaplaning. Touched the breaks when I car pulled out and down I went...

Lovely roads, i wish i could say the same where i live!
Had a woman drive in to/nudge my leg this morning, and she held her hands up to say "What?" after i gave her a torrent of abuse, in static traffic?
If i ever consider passing a driving test in a motor, i'm either buying a snow plough or a JCB, tanks are far too expensive........ :lol

Great video, nicely done and the man in black works a treat on the second bit. Is it just me or is people coming off bikes and not getting hurt funny? I have to admit that I laughed out loud at the 'then I crashed' bit. Glad youre OK and i hope the Fazer is a step up from the ER5. For a while there I thought that you were riding a Blandit.
