Awww Chopsy! Was heart warming to watch you wander around trying to find my dumb ass LOL. We did put a fair old shift in didn't we! To everyone asking in the comments - I'm all good and will live to ride another day :D Thanks for all your well wishes!
Well done, that is a very intimidating circuit. Having moved to southern Spain from Canada last year, I sold my V4S and last week, picked up my S1000RR (M package). for my 67th birthday. What an absolutely gorgeous and beautifully engineered bike. And, it has cruise control for the longer tours. . Couldn't be happier. I think it will prove to be the best bike I have ever owned.
That was amazing, I really enjoyed seeing you getting used to the track and increasing your speed. Best wishes to Kate and her quick recovery. Sad that she was injured.
Hope you've got your breath back Chopsy ! I was thinking that Kate looked tidy on track, a neat rider......sorry to hear she had an off and surprised as she looked good . Peter Hickman 2 up 😯
Thanks Chris, I absolutely loved it, managed an 1:56 in the end which for my first visit to Almeria I was quite happy. Watching the video I can see where I can improve for next time 😎😎
Looked incredible, Chopsy and all the better for including the honest reaction to getting bumped up to the Pro group - a few butterflies definitely justified! Great job. 👍
Great watch! Those bikes were like screaming banshees under you. Not sure if it was the pegs, your knees, or your teeth that we could hear in some of those corners where the bike was leant over aggressively. Sad to hear that @UsernameKate went off and got injured, but both of you seemed to have good fun at least up to that point. Also good to hear that she is on the mend.
FairPlay Chopsy, how good was that, great to see you learning the track and racing Kate, how good was she, shame she came off, hoping for a quick recovery for her.
Good footage Chopsy! Lovely bike and could see You improving as the laps ticked by. Kate looked sharp and smooth. I follow her channel too. Good content. So wishing her a speedy recovery.
Wow well done Mr Chops. I’ve not been on track since 2010 and seeing this makes me want to have another go although I’m not sure my BMW is the right tool for the job - 1200RT..!! Anyway looking forward to next instalment 👍✌️
Great video to watch, especially for me seeing things from the students perspective. Your improvement through out those first couple of sessions was incredible. Really glad Kate was ok although it was nerve racking waiting and not knowing.
First video I’ve watched on your channel and I’ve seen a fair few. This by far is the best one I’ve seen ever! It had me in stitches when you were learning the track 😅 brilliant! Can’t wait to see more! 10/10 👍
Good to see you are human like the rest of us nerves etc , nerves are good anyway it was good to watch your improvement through the video getting used to machine and track great channel
Great fun there chopsy 👍 when I heard you talking less I knew you where going for it more and concentrating more .😁 getting faster as you went mate good stuff .
Heard you mention the S1000XR at the end of the vid. The “Cuban Rider” channel is worth a watch, I don’t fully understand how he is so fast on it lol. Great content as always.
Well the chap riding the one infront was incredible!! Couldn't believe how quick he was, pulled him on the straight but corners he was amazing! Coming in the next vid
After riding to work this morning in the beautiful English spring rain deluge it was just what I needed to see you having a lovely warm time lol, great vid again chops...proof if ever it were needed that you don't need to be a racing snake to enjoy going fast. That S1000RR M Sport seems to be a right weapon too...roll on May when mine hopefully arrives from BMW 🙂
Choosy, looked as though you handled the bikes very well around this circuit, only looking nervous on the dog leg section which I would’ve hated too 😂. Keep the pace on your posts and I’ll continue viewing 👍🏻😀
Nice vid Chops. Bike looks amazing but track looked tricky. Also I imagine that it could've been quite intimidating with all those super quick pro racers there too but you seemed to have had fun & acquitted yourself well. Hope Kate's ok.
Is Kate ok? Your last couple laps were really moving! Didn’t realize as your speed increased I started breathing intermittently. Dang Chops that was awesome. Well done👏 But please be careful this is one of my favorite channels , can’t have Chops risking himself too much ;)
I had total knee replacement last year. I was off my bike for 4 months (someone I know had same but was off for only two months). Good luck with the rehab. Do your physio exercises.
@@stuartkraven had op on 20th, but a nurse gave me too much blood thinning injection so i had blood on my knee and thigh, just delayed my recovery slightly, and yes i will do as I'm told from physio 👍
If only I could explain to my wife why I need an RT, a GSA and M1000RR. I think she’d explain why I’m getting a kick in the balls. I watched this video and I want one, but if I’m dreaming I might as well dream of the M1000RR.
2 for 1 tonight! Thx for the advanced viewing buddy🤜🏻🤛🏻 Loving the BMW content lately. Hope you get a chance to rip up that M1000R at some point this season. You looked proper fast on the double R. Glad Kate is on the mend. That’s a scary off at that track.
There’s only so much of that a manufacturer will tolerate, which is exactly what happened to Fast Bikes in the 90’s. Their clowns kept smashing up press bikes, then all the manufacturers refused to give them anymore bikes. In the end, Colin Schiller had to buy the bikes for said clowns to review for the magazine. Afterwards the bikes were sold in Schiller’s shop, Gorgeous Bikes on Kings Road.

Sorry to hear kate came down.Heres wishing her a speedy recovery.Thanks.
Great video and bike. Kate was really good and fast. As were you of course. Sad to hear she came off. Hope she gets well soon.
Hope you've got your breath back Chopsy ! I was thinking that Kate looked tidy on track, a neat rider......sorry to hear she had an off and surprised as she looked good . Peter Hickman 2 up 😯
Yeah she was flying and I couldn't believe it when I heard. Yeah I thought I would pass on a Hicky pillion ride hehe 😆👍

Now.thats a video 👏 can't wait for the next part...and wow can Kate ride!!! Superb chops 👌
Glad you liked it!! 😁👍
This is why I love watching Chops such a damn good rider but honest and very modest. He never takes himself to seriously and a real gent.
Thanks Mathew appreciated buddy 😁👍
Cloth Ears Kate had me in stitches! Great video man!
Haha thanks matey, was hoping someone would notice 😄 👍
Nice riding ...OMG my heart was in my mouth when you said Kate came off... Praying all is well ..
Good going mate, its a really hard track to learn so well done 👏
Thanks Chris, I absolutely loved it, managed an 1:56 in the end which for my first visit to Almeria I was quite happy. Watching the video I can see where I can improve for next time 😎😎
Looked like another amazing experience. Hopefully Kate will be back on the bike soon
It certainly was Nigel, yeah she's doing OK now I think 👍
Wow that was awesome 👌
Thank you Chopsey!!!

You improving as the laps ticked by. Kate looked sharp and smooth. I follow her channel too. Good content. So wishing her a speedy recovery.
Mint mate, looked awesome fun, and you can see your track riding has stepped up considerably after your school days 👏👍
Thanks Bruce, yes that level 3 days with CSS and the body position thing just clicked 👍
Quality chops, you get better and better the more I watch your vids
Wow well done Mr Chops. I’ve not been on track since 2010 and seeing this makes me want to have another go although I’m not sure my BMW is the right tool for the job - 1200RT..!! Anyway looking forward to next instalment 👍✌️

Top work Chopsy… Getting a decent shift on by the end there! 👍😎
Good to see you are human like the rest of us nerves etc , nerves are good anyway it was good to watch your improvement through the video getting used to machine and track great channel
Cheers buddy 👍
Credit for going out with the pros. Your getting passed by a pillion , comment made me actually laugh out loud. That would of been some ride.
A great video Chopsy....showing how you felt being bumped up into the pro group.....
Top video fella. Best yet..
Wow, Chops, what an honor. " You are too advanced for this group." I would have been nervous too😂. Great video!!!
Great video Mr chops did three days in Almeria in 2008 on a 2004 zx10 brilliant circuit 👍👍
Yeah it's great Geoff isn't it 👍
@@LambChopRides brilliant 👍👍
Could be my favourite chops video, yass dude.
👊
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
Loved this Chopsy! Definitely one to watch on the big TV and not on your phone having a poo!
Haha good idea Martin!
Great fun there chopsy 👍 when I heard you talking less I knew you where going for it more and concentrating more .😁 getting faster as you went mate good stuff .
Hehe yes 😜 cheers Wattie 👍
Well done difficult circuit that flip flop and that long left awesome! Look forward to next time! Hope Kate is ok??
Great vid, chopsy awesome i love the SRR’s great bike and great track bikes too.
Heard you mention the S1000XR at the end of the vid. The “Cuban Rider” channel is worth a watch, I don’t fully understand how he is so fast on it lol. Great content as always.
Well the chap riding the one infront was incredible!! Couldn't believe how quick he was, pulled him on the straight but corners he was amazing! Coming in the next vid
Great skills. That looked like a tricky old track to learn. 👍
That was great to watch...although a bit nerve wracking knowing already about Kate! Great riding by both of you..what a fab bike!!👍 cheers Steve
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Looked amazing LCR......hope Kates OK though?
She's broken some bones in her fingers and wrist apparently. She's doing OK now though thankfully 👍
@@LambChopRides Thanks for the update LCR 👍

Thanks Stuart, yeah it's unbelievable buddy very jealous! Your going to love it! 👍
Looked fun, shame about Kate glad she is on the mend. You should have gone pillion with Hicky that would have been interesting...🤣🤣
Choosy, looked as though you handled the bikes very well around this circuit, only looking nervous on the dog leg section which I would’ve hated too 😂. Keep the pace on your posts and I’ll continue viewing 👍🏻😀
From this end looks very good well done .
Hahahahahha the panic when you knew you were out with the big boys lol 😂
Great video looked like loads of fun
It was amazing Steve 👍
Fantastic as always. Felt like I was there with you …
Nice vid Chops. Bike looks amazing but track looked tricky. Also I imagine that it could've been quite intimidating with all those super quick pro racers there too but you seemed to have had fun & acquitted yourself well. Hope Kate's ok.
Thanks buddy 👍

Haha thanks Dukie! 😆👍 yeah Kate has some broken fingers and fractured wrist. She's doing OK though 👍
@@LambChopRides Glad to hear it.
was recently out at Andalucia, (dead next to Almeria) looks like a good track, will likely book it for my next euro trip. I would recommend Andalucia
You did great Chopsy!
Great video, good to see you being invited out by BMW.
Before it’s to late, you should get your ACU license and go racing.
Nothing like being on an old friend 😂 great video thank you.
Haha thanks Nigel 👍
11 out of 10 work Man, stunning!
Thanks Mr Doolittle 👍 😁
Lying in hospital after a total knee replacement, thanks Chopsy for diverting my pain 👍
Oh dear, hope your feeling better soon Philip 👍
I had total knee replacement last year. I was off my bike for 4 months (someone I know had same but was off for only two months).
Good luck with the rehab. Do your physio exercises.
Thanks Chopsy, 👍
@@stuartkraven had op on 20th, but a nurse gave me too much blood thinning injection so i had blood on my knee and thigh, just delayed my recovery slightly, and yes i will do as I'm told from physio 👍
@@stuartkraven going off the bike theme slightly, but how long was it before you could bend your knee,
Thank you for the video. Question. Can one move from an 80 HP motorbike to something like this?
oh and nice bike and day out ta.
Great bit of riding Lamb Chop and I hope Kate is ok.
Thanks Lyn 👍
Chopsey would you spend the extra money on the new one over the first gen 4 ?
Now that looks like a great day.
Fan bloody tastic Daz! Certainly one of the better trips 👌
Cloth Ears Kate!? 😂😂 Oh Chops!
Haha cracked me up
Haha I couldn't resist 😆
Great riding sir....👏
Thanks ✌️
Dang, was that UsernameKate?
it was lol fingers are still not the right shape haha!
I think the s1000rr has to be my dream second bike, or maybe the tuono v4 1100 factory, i cant decide!
Its fantastic Ben, would love another 😍
lol mate better sweating ur balls of in South Spain than freezing them of in the UK!!!! I just spent a month there fantastic roads!!!
Glad to see very few apexes were harmed in the making of this video 😂😂
Haha absolutely!! 😆
I think you ended up passing me on last session of the day 😂👍
Did pass a couple of people whilst I was handing on to Josh Brooks coat tails!
@@LambChopRides yeah I think I was one of them toward the end. I was ready for a beer 😁👍
Dunno why you would apologise for spanish content. It give me hope for another stonker of a British summer this year.
Did any of your California Superbike School training kick in, or did it all fly out the window as soon as the adrenaline kicked in?
No it certainly did! Needed to counter steer a bit more but really helped 👍
wow, so how does the 23 S1K RR compare to your Gixxer on the track eh?
It's far superior Jos, don't get me wrong the GSXR is brilliant but this is literally next level! Incredible
Brilliant, it’s like Taskmaster on two wheels 😂
Haha 😆👍
Chopsy is some rider
If only I could explain to my wife why I need an RT, a GSA and M1000RR. I think she’d explain why I’m getting a kick in the balls. I watched this video and I want one, but if I’m dreaming I might as well dream of the M1000RR.
could you put the GOPRO SETTINGS in the INFO section if possible
4k / 60 fps and wind setting off in the menu. Also superview 👍
@@LambChopRides THANKS for the reply....looks great for 4k imo!!!
👍🏻
2 for 1 tonight! Thx for the advanced viewing buddy🤜🏻🤛🏻 Loving the BMW content lately. Hope you get a chance to rip up that M1000R at some point this season. You looked proper fast on the double R. Glad Kate is on the mend. That’s a scary off at that track.
Thanks Mike, was going to be one episode this but I've too much great footage 😁
in a few years bmw rider electronics will be so good you won't even have to sit on it, it will just go around the track by itself
Yeah, but someone will still manage to crash when they’re out of their depth.
@@flamintasty Are you stuck on repeat lol? Accidents happen.
@@UsernameKateRide within your limits then.
@@UsernameKate Agreed...Even Pros have off's.
@flamintasty I hope you put this much energy and passion into more productive areas of your life 😂 have a good day sir ❤
What happens when you crash a press bike will you get invited back
There’s only so much of that a manufacturer will tolerate, which is exactly what happened to Fast Bikes in the 90’s.

Looks a bit scary 😢
i chopsi roll the join
They don’t have Almeria in ride 4 🙄
Well, Almeria doesn't seem to be a smart choice for a 200HP sportbike press day.
That's ruined the power to weight ratio!
Haha indeed!
Fast bikes but my K6 GSXR 1000 looks way better
Rider aids are great, but you can't give make enough of them to idiot proof a motorcycle.
Exactly, someone will always manage to crash one when they’re out of their depth.
Not a good look chops😂
