BRETT'S Racing Videos

Situation: Brian Parriott is on the New San Jose BMW R1200HP2-Sport.

Racing in the Daytona 200 for the first time in 30 years, BMW Motorrad has entered 4 bikes in the race as a Factory Effort . One of the bikes belongs to San Jose BMW and is ridden by our expert BMW pilot Brian Parriott. BMW was hoping for a Top 20 finish - We came in 6th place! This is the TV coverage of Brian during the race televised on the SPEED Channel.

DAYTONA 200

Situation: #46 collides with a Ducati entering the racing line after a pit stop.

Richard Cooper is running in 2nd place with only 30 minutes to go in the 8hr race. A rookie rider enters the racing line from the pits instead of carefully merging back into the race. Cooper & the Ducati collide at over 80 mph & both bikes go down. Cooper hits his head hard & is disoriented. He gets up & falls back down, but finds the bike & enters the track just seconds before the safety car comes out. Cooper saved the race for SJBMW .

DAYTONA

Situation: A very unique sound comes from the new San Jose BMW F800S Race Bike in it's first time in international competition.

A quick video clip so you can hear the fantastic sound of the F800 vertical twin engine running at full race speed on the Daytona front straight. It's near the end of the 8hr Endurance Race. Our bike finished  in 7th Place in the Grand Sports Twin (GST) class of the MOTO-ST series.  (video is 7 seconds)

DAYTONA

Situation: Parriott crosses the start/finish line with 5 laps to go on a damaged bike.

After rider Richard Cooper collides with a bike coming on to the track, #46 is nearly destroyed.  Not wanting to lose the race after dicing for the lead for almost 8 hours, Brian Parriott jumps on a motorcycle that has 2 broken sub-frames, bent handlebars, misaligned wheels, no exhaust pipe in the right cylinder head  & NO FRONT BRAKES! Brian brings the bike home in 2nd Place.  (10 seconds)

DAYTONA

Situation: Ride along with Willie on the Bonneville Bike during an actual run.

Things to look for during the run: 1. Salt blowing around inside the cockpit 2. Change of horizon as Willie deals with a cross-wind 3. Start of a serious tank slapper as he hits soft salt on the course at 152 mph 4. Finally coasting to a stop & the adrenaline starts pumping once he realizes how close he got to going down due to the bad surface (slightly graphic) shortly after Willie's run, a rider on a Suzuki went down at  190 mph

BONNEVILLE

Situation: Bike being started using rollers on the tow-truck. Willie takes off on the short course. Bad weather left the salt in a soft condition.

Practice run on the course at over 150 mph. Willie said the bike would kickout when he tried to go faster & he went through the lights a little sideways as it was.

Willie already has the record at 164.117

BONNEVILLE

Situation: SJBMW is racing 2 bikes in the Open Twins race. Brian Parriott #46 is starting in the 2nd row and Nate Kern #149 is starting all the way in the back as this is his first AFM race this year and he lacked qualifying points. Nate's bike has a video camera on it and he catches some great action including some of Brian on the warm up lap.

INFINEON

Situation: Brian Parriott is running our R1200S in the Super Bike race before the MOTO-ST race, which is the reason we came to Wisconsin.

The video starts with a warm up lap and then the race. Brian starts from the 11th position on the grid.

During our weekend at Road America, Brian broke the Thunder Bike (Two cylinder) track record 4 times!
