timmythecop Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Any chance of uploading a version without the music? Would love to hear the bike working. What speed & gears were you using?

Member Contributer CHUCK2 Posted June 1, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well..that seems a bit better. That camera shoots some darn good video. I am left wondering though: Why not a lower gear with more throttleage? I've never been there so I could be completely off basis for asking. I'm just comparing it to some riding I've done around here which may be the completely wrong way to ride but I just love the performance of the lower gears + higher RPM's. In the beginning, there are arrows spray painted on the road. Any idea why? WTH is up the vehicle+trailer on the shoulder facing the wrong way?!? Which riding group would this qualify for? How are you able to mount that camera so well in various places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmythecop Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Why not a lower gear with more throttleage? Most of the footage I have was from the first day where it was wet-to-damp and I was trying to use a higher gear to avoid a crash with 3 days left. I also upshifted in the straights to keep the noise down as I didnt know where the cops were hiding. In the beginning, there are arrows spray painted on the road. Any idea why? Some are to warn you of sharper that normal turns. Others are to show people that they can pull into a shoulder to let bikes go by. The video is deceptive. These bends are 4 times tighter than they look in this wide angle lens. WTH is up the vehicle+trailer on the shoulder facing the wrong way?!? No clue, didnt notice it. Which riding group would this qualify for? Not really sure. I went as quickly or slowly as I felt at the time and I wasnt in a group. You can tell in the middle, I had a total brain collapse, and I took a few corners to re-group. That is a difficult question, but if I had to answer, it would have been Intermediate/slow How are you able to mount that camera so well in various places? I have a suction cup mount and various hard mounts on my saddlebags. The wide angle lens makes it impossible to miss what you are pointing at.

Member Contributer CHUCK2 Posted June 1, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 1, 2011 Were there any cops around? In the various videos I've seen, there are none. If I was there, they would have been around every other corner of everyday & everyone would have been pissed at me for ruining all their fun! That's how things tend to go for me.

timmythecop Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 you cant tell where they may be hiding......but I made friends with one and then there is whole "get outta jail free card" thing.............but I try not to arouse attention anyway.

SEBSPEED Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I LOVE the video Timmy superb, with the risk of getting flamed the red VFR rider behind you... well.. is there really all that need to hang off the bike so much when the bike itself isn't leaned over enough to constitute getting the knee down even on relatively gentle corners?! Anyway great riding guys and I wish I could of been there! 1. Please don't take this as a flame... 2. I am the red rider 3. It was damp/wet 4. The corners only appear to be gentle, many of them are anything but 5. I hang my girth off the bike as a safety measure - the whole point of hanging off is to make the bike more upright at a given corner speed 6. I need the exercise 7. I was on camera!!

Member Contributer y2kvfr Posted June 1, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 1, 2011 A sequel to the sequel. as it were. (Warning: Kanadian Ken is prominently featured) Are we doomed to have "Yankee" misspelled until the end of time? I blame Baileyrock & Seb. The "Yankey Go Home" sign. Oh, and truly sorry about the corner stuff KKKen! I blame Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer adamf18 Posted June 1, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 1, 2011 So sorry I missed the VFRD again.
