Takin' the back roads...
What a beautiful afternoon yesterday! Since I knew that there weren't going to be many left I decided to take a trip with a friend. I had the camera mounted.
I hope you enjoy! (Note: The throttle was stuck wide open and the clutch cable broke, so that's the reason for the excessive speed! )

We actually met up with another group of riders from midmoriders.com. Nice bunch of guys. Every Harley ride waved that we passed. Must have been a good day for everyone.95FZR600 wrote:You were not the only bike out there either.

I bought a bracket off of eBay and mounted my older Sony Digital 8mm camera. It's heavier so it's more stable, plus it has Steadyshot built in. Does pretty good for an older camcorder.megaloxana wrote:You mind snapping a pic of your camera setup?
Here is the bracket I bought:

Re: Takin' the back roads...
Yeah, I sped it up 3x normal speed. It's like 55 MPH through the whole thing and they'll have blind corners with signs that say to slow to 50 MPH.... I LOVE IT!shredex wrote:im going to hope that was in fast forward
One thing I recommend to anyone who goes on roads like this after a Track Day is to soften the suspension. I was absorbing every bump.... if you know what I mean.

Re: Takin' the back roads...
On the track, I did set my chin on it quite a bit and it got in the way of my arms moving around when I was off the bike, but on this trip I didn't notice it.megaloxana wrote:Do you bang your helmet on it alot?
I wasn't going fast enough, in the corners, to need to get that far off the bike and I am pretty reserved in the straights.
